Ask HN: Time to Pivot Out of Engineering?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44575810I’m looking for a new job and I’m not sure if I should even keep applying to SWE roles or not. Looking back on the 6 years I’ve been working as a SWE, I’ve always ended up in a position where I was pretty miserable after a couple years no matter what company I was working for at the time. I’m annoyed at all the process, I’m annoyed with the people, I’m not interested in what the company is doing, and it just feels like such a grind.Earlier on, I thought that this was just a symptom of not liking the product, culture, or just getting bored of what I was working on at the time and could be fixed by going to a different company. But now after working at 3 different companies of slightly different sizes, I’m starting to think that maybe I just don’t enjoy this field as much as I thought I would.I’m definitely not a 10x engineer who is constantly cranking out code, and if I’m being honest with myself I am just a slightly above average engineer. I’m good enough to do the tasks that are neede

Ask HN: How to attract top engineers as an early-stage startup?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44574896Finding great engineers is a known challenge for every early-stage startup as you need to find missionaries willing to trade cash for risk and upside.What we try: - We try to leverage personal networks, which seems like the best source (10x better than other methods)- We're willing to poach talent (when timing aligns)- We're generous with equity (can’t match FAANG cash)Public job boards didn't work at all. About 98 % of applicants are spray-and-pray. We even added a product-specific question at the end of the ad and only few noticed it (but good filter!).I also know that experience ≠ talent and that some people are terrible at selling themselves, I try to spot these.What helped you find top engineers?

App/Web for finding friends and like-minded people, which works?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44558257After 30+ years of feeling lonely, I've been thinking about what's missing. Yes, there are apps for meeting people—Meetup, Bumble BFF, and others. But they don't quite capture what I'm searching for: a space to find people who share our passions, our curiosities, a desire to build RC aircraft or to have that Harry Potter marathon we've been putting off.I'm searching for (or dreaming of building) a platform that:Puts community over profit — No subscription tiers hiding basic features. No algorithms designed to keep you scrolling instead of connecting. A place where you can message interesting people instantly without hitting 3-messages-per-day limits (you don't have limits saying "hello" to people on the street, right?). You can search for people by location, interests, etc. without limits!Connects through shared purpose — Find people who want to collaborate on projects, learn together, or simply share genuine interests. Not just "swipe right if you like hiking."Builds lasting relations

Show HN: Sohri – Turn short stories into binge-able audio episodeshttps://sohri.ai/exploreHey HN, I love creating, and I've been fascinated by AI audio tools. But as a creator, trying to actually use them felt like a trap.First, wrestling with raw TTS APIs to create something that doesn't sound like a robot reading a phone book is an art form in itself. It takes forever to get the pacing and tone right.Second, and this was the real deal-breaker: even if you create a masterpiece, platforms like YouTube feel like they're just waiting to demonetize you or slap a restriction on your work because it's "AI-generated." It feels like you're building on someone else's land, and they can change the rules overnight. It's soul-crushing.I wanted a sanctuary for audio creators. A place that’s more like a recording studio in your pocket than a frustrating API wrapper. A platform where you can focus on your story, not on fighting the tools or the distribution algorithm.So, I built Sohri (https://sohri.ai). Sohri is designed to turn your short stories into polished, binge-able audio episode

I may be beyond redemptionhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44541929I am ashamed to even type all of this...again. I have had a few rants before on HN and reddit.It seems like I cannot improve or get better at all, I have been stuck literally doing nothing for a decade, like literally, I am not even kidding.My parents are great people, great is an understatement, I had a great upbringing, hard work and academics was always emphasized. I didn't do shit though, just daydreamed about it.I have been interested in tech for a looong time but I would just read about it, daydream about using it for awesome purposes, maybe try to learn it a bit and it would seem too hard and I would think, "eh I will start tomorrow" and go consume something that provided instant gratification. Years literally passed, and that never happened. I got through middle and high school because my parents literally dragged me through it, got a degree from a degree mill, again because of my parents all this while daydreaming and deep in delusions about how I was gonna learn a lot and get

Show HN: Downalytics – Track OSS binary downloads via custom domainshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44521995Hi HN,I’ve been working on Downalytics (https://www.downalytics.dev), a lightweight tool that helps open-source maintainers and small projects track binary downloads from GitHub releases. You route downloads through a generated or custom domain (via CNAME), and I log metadata like version, arch, OS, and country (where available). Think of it like a minimal redirector with analytics.It’s aimed at projects that publish binaries (e.g., via CLI tools), and want to understand which versions are being used, and where adoption is happening, without needing to host their own infra.Current features: GitHub OAuth to connect repos Tracked download URLs via CNAME or generated subdomain Basic dashboard with counts by version, platform, etc. Free OSS tier, small paid tier for custom domains/more projects A few things I’d love feedback on: Is this something you (or your project) would use? Would you be comfortable routing downloads through a third-party like this? Any blockers that would make you hes

Epistemological Primeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44521212I am on a quest for the epistemological primes. These are the deep foundational knowledges which underpin everything. Somehow relates to that "high-leverage generalist" concept, but it's like the next level above that. We're talking level 3 jack of all trades here.The epistemological primes of mathematics might be logic, set theory, category theory, model theory, graph theory, and a few others. Things that can't be reduced any further; their own whole ways of thinking.These primes exist in everything. Doing drugs (the way I do them) involves knowledge of chemistry, thermodynamics, and cognitive psychology. Cooking also involves chemistry and thermodynamics, and the knowledge of "flavor profiles" (which cores does that come from?). Doing projects involves some kind of "how to work" prime."Physics" is not a prime, but kinematics probably is a prime.It's hard to figure some of them out. Demographics feels prime, but is probably actually a few things mashed together. Same for metrology, ph

Ask HN: New RevOps guy wants to switch us from M365 to GSuite+Slackhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44514652We are a startup of almost 40 people now; as the first engineer, I started building up our corp infrastructure and am managing that on the side ever since. We use Entra ID as our central identity provider, manage devices using Intune, use Teams Telephone for PSTN calls, office suite, Sharepoint for file storage, and so on. While we’re at GCP for the business infra, internally we’re pretty entrenched in Microsoft services—which works pretty well so far, I might say.Recently, however, we hired a RevOps guy that set out to discover optimisation potential, apparently, and today I got a surprise meeting where he demonstrated his big idea of switching from Microsoft to Google Workspace and Slack. He suggested that would be a great idea since everyone hates using Teams, nobody knows where to find files in Sharepoint, many SaaS products only support Google SSO out of the box, and Gemini would be included and we need that to be an AI driven company. Also, new hires only knew Gmail and Drive, bu

Show HN: Satirical AI Portfolio Project. How to Make It Funnier and Meaningful?https://robotsave.me/Hey HN,I built robotsave.me in a short burst of inspiration as a portfolio piece. The idea:A fake AI productivity tool that pretends to automate your job with one click.But behind the joke, my real goal was to: Showcase that I can ship a product from scratch, fast. Integrate OpenAI and Zapier APIs meaningfully. Design something clean, responsive, and slightly unhinged. Poke fun at automation hype while still delivering a working product. Now that it's out, I feel it’s... missing bite. It doesn’t hit the “this is hilarious but also kind of real” note I was aiming for.Looking for feedback and ideas. Specifically: - How would you add stronger humor without turning it into a total joke site? Should I go full parody (like a fake SaaS pricing page)? Or stay dry and subtle? - What would give it more meaning? Any ways to anchor this more in reality, maybe by turning it into commentary on AI, layoffs, or startup culture? - Would you add more interactivity or fake use cases? For example: “Robot

I am a non-technical designer slowly learning the saas and dev world. I am leveraging AI tools to build and ship sideprojects every week and learning a lot in the process.My most recent web app is a smart pricing strategy generator for subscription-based services and products. It also has built-in market research and competitor analysis generation. I am using both claude and openai as available models and firecrawl for pricing page scraping. The app works by filling out a few forms in which you can also select previously generated data to aid one of the three generators.In the stack side, i am using lovable for project setup, Claude Code to debug and create front end, and supabase for database and api key storage.At this stage I would appreciate user feedback, especially finding out if this tool has enough value to be launched as a micro-saas or if it is turning out to be just another ai wrapper.
