Ask HN: Combining Healthcare and Software Engineering into a Careerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49390762I'm a former software engineer (self-taught) who is currently in school studying Kinesiology. I plan on going to graduate school for Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy. Before starting school, I gained a few years of experience working with disabled children. I decided to pursue OT/PT because I very much enjoy working with disabled populations, but want more autonomy to actually make decisions that impact their well being.Despite all of this (and a rocky resume), I still feel like programming is a part of me and is something I find enjoyable as a discipline.Has anyone successfully made a career combining healthcare and software engineering? How did you do it?

Millions in Cuba face water shortages as oil crisis deepenshttps://www.france24.com/en/video/20260821-millions-in-cuba-face-water-shortages-as-oil-crisis-deepensIn Cuba, seven months of an effective oil blockade imposed by the Trump administration has not only increased power outages but is also leaving more and more people without running water. In August 2025, 2.6 million people on the Caribbean island nation had difficulty accessing water, according to the Cuban Institute of Hydraulic Resources. Today, that figure has risen to 3.5 million – around a third of the population. FRANCE 24’s Ed Augustin reports on the health risks rippling through the island.

Show HN: Tosynch – reconnect with your friends and meet oftenhttps://tosynch.comI built this app to solve problem I had, and perhaps others too. I have been finding tough stay in touch with friends. Other than occasional hi/hellos, there is lack of meaningful interactions ongoing basis. Tosynch helps with connecting with existing friends, without calendar setup. It does one thing only and focuses on that. There is no hidden agenda of selling personal data for ads, nor any scheme around increasing likes. There is no discovery mechanism, and no public profiles. If we want to reduce our usage of phones and devices, we don't need another app to helps us constrained. We want to create more opportunities to meet people we already know. Tosynch helps increase those opportunities. It nudges after a chosen period, to reconnect and meet. Feedback appreciated.

Show HN:Over 50 AI-assisted books on science fiction and original philosophyhttps://www.axiologic.net/books.htmlI’ve just made public a collection of more than 50 science fiction and philosophy books written with AI assistance. The books are part of an European research project exploring how AI-assisted books can be created, evaluated, and analyzed. They are meant to be genuinely readable, and many of them develop unusual perspectives and ideas in good depth. I’d be very interested in feedback from the HN community—on the writing, the ideas, the research direction, or the project itself.

Show HN: Music Mini Games on the Web (1.0)https://musicminigames.com/games/I previously built this iOS app. I figured I might as well have Fable bring it to the web. I'll be adding more games and such in the future. Even though my iOS app updates have gone through, on average, within 48 hours, I'm really tired of Apple's review process, so I had Fable help me bring these to the web. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think. I have some other things on the roadmap, but I'm happy to hear some feedback.

Ask HN: Do teams really need to use GitHub?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49386514Enterprises can self-host, sure. Open source projects uses it for the the network effects of GitHub. But why does a small software team need to use GitHub?I understand the ecosystem argument. Once you've got your repos, CI/CD, PRs, code reviews, packages, integrations, etc. all wired into GitHub, moving everything is a pain. But Git itself is distributed, and GitHub has a pretty open plugin/integration system. There are also perfectly capable alternatives like GitLab, Bitbucket, Forgejo, Gitea, SourceHut, etc.So what is the actual thing that makes a 10–20 person software company stick with GitHub? Is it mostly switching costs? The ecosystem? Developer familiarity? Something else? And if you were to start a project today, would you still go with GitHub?And a slightly more personal question.I've had a rough idea for what a new GitHub could look like if it were built specifically for software that is increasingly being written by AI agents, and specifically for companies rather than open-
