Hi Hacker News, I'm Andrew, the CTO of Endless Toil. Endless Toil is building the emotional observability layer for AI-assisted software development. As engineering teams adopt coding agents, the next challenge is understanding not just what agents produce, but how the codebase feels to work inside. Endless Toil gives developers a real-time signal for complexity, maintainability, and architectural strain by translati…
