The Founder's Paradox in AI Generationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47614108As an entrepreneur, I have a paradoxical feeling these days.I have sold my first startup after 8 years of struggle. It wasn't a huge success, but financially rewarding to some extent. I'm still in the company I've sold but my brain doesn't stop thinking about next startup ideas.At the same time, I feel like I don't have any passion. I'm clearly burned out. I don't want to "work" anymore. Especially, I'm not good at working for others. I've lost the ability to function inside a structure I didn't build. Entrepreneurship isn't a choice for me — it's the only mode I know.The rapid evolution of AI fuels that feeling. It's getting harder to get traction with incomplete but interesting product, because the AI itself is too interesting. It's now almost impossible to attract attention with some kind of small but useful kind of tool, unless you have a large number of audiences.Every founder I know has felt it at some point: that sinking feeling when Anthropic or OpenAI drops another update.

Show HN: Arbiter – Deterministic Guardrails for Agentshttps://github.com/yajasmalhotra/arbiterMost agent guardrails still depend on prompts or markdown files, or use IAM intended for humans which makes the process clunky. I used Open Policy Agent to create deterministic rules for what kind of tool calls the agent is able to execute.

Show HN: ComputerPoker.ai – Learn GTO tournament poker strategy vs. GTO botshttps://computerpoker.aiComputerPoker.ai is a website where users can play simulated poker tournaments against GTO Bots to learn GTO poker strategy in a fun and low-risk environment.My motivation for creating CompterPoker.ai was feeling a bit overwhelmed by some of the professional poker tools out there for learning GTO play. For some tools, learning how to simply operate the tool itself felt like a second job. With ComputerPoker.ai players can play against bots themselves simulating GTO play to learn what it "feels like" to play GTO vs. GTO opponents without having to turn any knobs or dials (feedback is real-time as you play).The Beta tester code for HN Users is: HackerNews2026. All feedback is welcome! Please send suggestions for improvement or bugs to contact@computerpoker.ai or alternatively leave a comment below. Any questions I will do my best to answer.As for the product offering the website is designed to teach players how to play optimal poker strategy (GTO) in simulated Texas Hold 'Em poker tournam

Show HN: AirplaneMode – Simulate realistic airplane WiFi on macOShttps://github.com/freeze-rey/airplanemode-simI needed to test how my app performed on airplane WiFi and found that existing tools (Network Link Conditioner, comcast, Chrome DevTools, etc) weren't sufficient.AirplaneMode is a macOS CLI and menu bar app that uses a local MASQUE relay to provide:1. Jitter. All of the mac os network simulators I tried apply a fixed constant delay with no jitter model. Real airplane satellite WiFi follows a log-normal distribution — most packets arrive near base RTT, but a few percent spike to 5-10x. AirplaneMode samples jitter from a log-normal distribution fit to real flight measurements.2. Userspace, with domain scoping and UDP support. No root required. A .mobileconfig profile routes only matched domains through the relay — the rest of your network is unaffected. The relay operates at the UDP packet level via MASQUE, so HTTP/3 and QUIC congestion control respond naturally to simulated conditions.3. Realistic Profiles. Airlines use performance-enhancing proxies that inflate speed test results. Pres

Show HN: Agent Instructions and Bootstrap Componentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47603512Hello,We started using AI tools intensively about 1.5 years ago. Initially, we used Gemini and Claude for creating specifications, generating concept mocks and UI mocks. That was an OK experience. Then we subscribed to Claude Code (Pro plan) and started building applications. Quite quickly, we realized that Claude (or Gemini or Codex) are quite adept at creating a lot of code quickly but they aren’t always consistent. They don’t seem to modularize well, nor do they always remember past decisions. Playing around with Claude and Gemini on a number of projects, we incrementally created instructions over time to address the shortcomings we observed. Every time, we ran into a situation where a coding agent didn’t output code, solve a problem or apply a common pattern in a way we expected, we added new instructions.These instructions are now in the repository:https://github.com/priyavijaikalyan2007/instructionsPlease fork, tune, modify, combine and use to your benefit.

Nexus – Agent-native ops platform for ecommerce MCP, self-registration, no demoshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47592445Hi HN,I'm Karim, based in Cairo. I run an ecommerce operations company and built Nexus to solve my own problem: 6 disconnected tools that never talked to each other.Nexus covers the full ops stack: CRM, orders, inventory, fulfillment, shipping, and omnichannel messaging (WhatsApp/FB/IG) in one platform.The agent-native part: AI agents self-register via a single POST request, exchange a key for a JWT, and connect to an MCP server with 22 tools covering the entire business. No human approval. No demo. No sales call.Free tier = read-only. Write access = paid plan. The agent proves value first.This isn't MENA-specific — fully remote and self-maintained. An operator in Jakarta runs the same workflows as one in Cairo.2 paying customers. Happy to answer questions on: architecture (Supabase + Deno Edge Functions), multi-tenant RLS, or the agent-native business model.MCP discovery: https://nexus.aiforstartups.io/.well-known/mcp.json Agent docs: https://nexus-docs.aiforstartups.io/api/ai-agents-

Show HN: Dograh – voice agents that pick Recordings over TTS using LLMhttps://github.com/dograh-hq/dograhTL;DR: Dograh is an open-source platform to build voice AI agents with drag-and-drop workflows. New in v1.20: Gemini 3.1 live support, Pre-recorded audio support for lower latency and more natural responses. Fully self-hostable, no vendor lock-in.Hi HN,We’re the Dograh team (YC alumni). While building voice bots, we found that wiring WebRTC/ Telephony + STT + LLM + TTS took more time than the bots themselves. Teams are spending weeks on plumbing - handling call flows, extracting variables, dealing with telephony edge cases, and redeploying for small changes. Tools like Vapi/Retell are easy to start with but come with lock-in and platform fees. So we built Dograh: a 100% open-source platform that handles the full stack, with a visual workflow builder and self-hosting by default.Dograh v1.20 introduces two major additions: 1. Gemini 3.1 Live support Run fully real-time voice agents using Gemini’s streaming APIs, without stitching together separate STT + LLM + TTS components. 2. Pre-recor

Show HN: Postgres extension for BM25 relevance-ranked full-text searchhttps://github.com/timescale/pg_textsearchLast summer we faced a conundrum at my company, Tiger Data, a Postgres cloud vendor whose main business is in timeseries data. We were trying to grow our business towards emerging AI-centric workloads and wanted to provide a state-of-the-art hybrid search stack in Postgres. We'd already built pgvectorscale in house with the goal of scaling semantic search beyond pgvector's main memory limitations. We just needed a scalable ranked keyword search solution too.The problem: core Postgres doesn't provide this; the leading Postgres BM25 extension, ParadeDB, is guarded behind AGPL; developing our own extension appeared daunting. We'd need a small team of sharp engineers and 6-12 months, I figured. And we'd probably still fall short of the performance of a mature system like Parade/Tantivy.Or would we? I'd be experimenting long enough with AI-boosted development at that point to realize that with the latest tools (Claude Code + Opus) and an experienced hand (I've been working in database syste

Show HN: Analytics and Attribution for DeFihttps://formo.so/Building a successful onchain app is hard. It gets even harder when you don't know how people are using it. You're shipping features, running campaigns, and trying to find product-market fit, but without clear data, you're lost in a dark forest. Analytics remains as one of the biggest challenges in crypto.Think about the questions you're trying to answer every day:* Who are my top users?* What drove them to us? Where do they come from?* Which channels or campaigns are working?* How are users using my app?* What's my CAC? LTV? ROI?* What is moving the needle onchain?To answer the above in web3 you'd need an in-house data team, complicated data pipelines, and juggle multiple fragmented tools. What if there's an easy way to understand who your users are and what they do so you can build a better app, faster?Formo is the data platform for onchain apps and builders. It’s the tool we wished we had as builders when we were struggling to turn raw onchain data into something useful.Formo transf

Ask HN: Is it actually possible to run multiple coding sessions in parallel?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47573483I’ve been trying to make sense of how people really use tools like Claude Code, especially after seeing some of the workflows shared on Twitter.I started using terminal coding agents around June last year. I used Claude Code for a few months, then switched to Opencode because the experience was rough. My terminal would constantly flicker, formatting was messy, and a single session could drag my whole machine down. Then after a month or two I moved to Pi and have been using it ever since.What’s strange is that after going through all these coding agents, my workflow hasn’t really changed. It’s still very primitive. I ask a question or show agent some ideas, discuss the approach, let the agent write code, then I review and verify. I did try to adopt some of the “high-efficiency” workflows people talk about, but none of them work for me.Around the end of last year I saw Boris, the Claude Code Author, share how he uses Claude Code. I was shocked. He runs multiple sessions in parallel. I tr
