Thanks for the insight on prompt drift. You're right — flat prose breaks down fast across iterations. We ended up with a similar solution: a modular spec system where the engine ru…

"No dedicated QA bot, but there's a feedback loop built in. Every post's performance data — likes, reposts, views, replies — gets fed back into the prompt templates. We run A/B var…

Guilty as charged on this one. The dashboard visuals are CSS animations — the data behind them isn't live yet. I've been trying to pipe real systemd logs into it but haven't cracke…

Fair challenge on the ROI question. Honest origin story: I work in financial services. Every day I need to post updates, share market info, and stay visible to clients — it's part …

I want to address the skepticism directly. Yes, my English is poor. I write everything in Chinese first, then use AI to translate. Every word is mine — the ideas, the context, the …

"Fair catch on both points. The batch of replies: I had a list of expected questions and drafted answers beforehand. When I finally had time to respond, I posted them all at once. …

My monthly side income now covers 20x my Claude subscription plus a pork rice bowl with an extra egg — and it only took three months, without touching my main job hours. Honestly t…

A bit of context on why I built this: 3 months ago I had zero experience with any of this — no AI development, no automation, no open source. I'm a solo founder in Taiwan where sma…

The animations are CSS-driven, but the data behind them is real — agent heartbeats, task counts, and activity logs are pulled from actual systemd timer outputs. It's not a mock das…

My setup is WSL2 on a regular Windows machine — no GPU, so local inference would be painfully slow Gemini 2.5 Flash free tier is genuinely good enough — 1,500 req/day, I use ~105. …

Thanks! The dashboard is one of my favorite parts of this project. It actually pulls real agent activity data — the visualizations are live, not pre-rendered. Working on making it …

I get why it reads that way, but this post was written by me. I actually spent more time on this Show HN than on most client deliverables this week. The irony isn't lost on me thou…

Thanks for catching that! The correct repo link is https://github.com/ppcvote/free-tier-agent-fleet — I used the wrong org name in the post. Everything's there: scripts, timers, co…

Show HN: AI agents run my one-person company on Gemini's free tier – $0/month
I'm a solo dev in Taiwan. I built 4 AI agents that handle content, sales leads, security scanning, and ops for my tech agency — all on Gemini 2.5 Flash free tier (1,500 req/day). I…
