Ask HN: Help me navigate a PIP at a remote startup in the Netherlandshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44669716Hey HN,I'm in a tough spot and could use some outside perspective, especially from anyone who's navigated startup politics or EU/Dutch employment law.I'm a senior engineer with a background at bigger tech companies in the US. A few months ago, I took a job at a small-ish (around 150 people), fully remote tech startup based in Europe. The pay is good for the EU, though definitely a big step down from my US salary. The main reason for the move was to get a visa and work in Europe, and the project (AI stuff) seemed really exciting.It's been a chaotic ride. The project has been in a constant "prototyping" phase, with the product direction pivoting at least 4-5 times since I joined. As the main frontend dev, I've been building and refactoring constantly to keep up. It's been high-pressure, but I thought we were making good progress.Recently, things took a sharp turn. My manager, who is new to management and I report directly to, put me on a formal PIP. This was a total shock, as it was lite

What began as a fun weekend project has now evolved into a core part of how our team works every day. These bots live in Slack and handle real, non-trivial workflows such as:- When a new signup comes in, one of them enriches the lead via Apollo, drafts a personalized email, and drops it into my mailbox.- If someone mentions a new task in any channel, the bot jumps in, asks a few clarifying questions, and files a Linear ticket.- Collecting customer info from Stripe for transaction failures and bringing it into the slack thread automatically.- Scouring the web and drafting blog posts - sure you can do this with ChatGPT. But doing it collaboratively on Slack gives a different overall experience.- We even made them proactive. For example, if someone talks about sprint planning, the bot jumps into the thread and asks if it should help break things down into tasks.At first, this felt like "just automation.

Show HN: Grid9 – 9-character coordinate compression with 3M precisionhttps://github.com/pedrof69/Grid9Hi HN! I've built Grid9, an open-source coordinate compression system that achieves what3words-level precision (3 meters) in just 9 characters instead of 19+.The motivation came from working with autonomous vehicle systems where bandwidth is precious and coordinate transmission is constant. Traditional lat/lon pairs are verbose (often 20+ characters), and while what3words is brilliant, even their 3-word format is lengthy for high-frequency telemetry.*Technical approach:* Grid9 uses uniform coordinate quantization - direct quantization in degree space with optimized bit allocation (22-bit latitude, 23-bit longitude). This simple approach achieves consistent precision globally without complex projections or circular dependencies. The result packs into exactly 45 bits, encoding perfectly as 9 base32 characters.*Performance:* - Encoding: 6.4M ops/second - Decoding: 7.0M ops/second - Memory: 32 bytes per operation - Written in C# with zero dependencies*Example conversions:* ``` 40.7128, -74

Show HN: An API for human-powered browser taskshttps://browser-work.com/At APM Help, we have a large team that performs repetitive, browser-based tasks. Years ago, to manage this work securely and get a clear audit trail, we built an internal platform we call "Hub." It's essentially a locked-down environment where our team works that records their sessions, tracks every interaction, and prevents data from being copied or shared. It's been our internal source of truth for years.More recently, like many companies, we've been building more automation. And like everyone else, we've seen our automations fail on edge cases—a weirdly formatted invoice our parser can't read, a website layout change that breaks a scraper, etc. Our team would have to manually step in to fix these.We realized other developers must have this exact same problem, but without a 250-person team on standby. So we connected our old, battle-tested Hub to a new, modern front door: a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) API. We're calling it browser-work.com.The idea is simple: when you hit a task that ne

Tell HN: It feels weird and but oddly goodhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44625988I got access to Claude Max Pro few days ago with so I could use Claude Code to migrate a relatively complex app to a modern framework. I've tried various AI flows (ide/editor plugins, copy-paste chat windows, the usual), but I’d never tried the full "open a terminal and let her rip" approach.I pieced together a workflow from half-remembered blog posts (there are too many ways to coerce the machine), and to my surprise it mostly worked. Once I got going, the weird part is that I felt more like an editor than a developer. Sure, I was steering the conversation (half paying attention and focused on other important things like letting the dog out) but mostly I was just pressing enter, not furiously typing out rebuttals like I've seen in many posts.The strange part is that I tell the thinking machine what I want, hope for the best, and most of the time, I get what I want. Because I don't get what I want every time, the whole thing feels like the model is quietly saying "I have altered the de

You're not a founder, you're a gig workerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44594389To everyone out there working on groundbreaking AI research…Let’s break it down:• OpenAI researchers helped build the most valuable model IP on the planet. They got six figures and a mission patch. Microsoft got the exclusive license. Sam got a multi-billion-dollar for-profit arm and total control.• Zuck shows up and offers those same researchers $100M+ to switch stories. No nonprofit halo, no saving humanity. Just compute, comp, and “build God with us.”• Sam cries foul. Why? Because the myth breaks: 1 that you’re part of a meritocracy 2 that you’re “on the journey” 3 that it’s about ideals, not exits.Meanwhile…• Scale AI workers in the Philippines were getting ghosted on pay while tagging data for $2/hr. Alexandr Wang becomes a billionaire. Meta buys half the company. Lays off 200. Wang walks into a new gig.• Anthropic and OpenAI staff who helped push frontier alignment? They watched their orgs raise at $15–80B valuations and get nothing unless they were on the secret early cap table.

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 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
