Show HN: Artie – Real-time data replication to your data warehouse, self-serveHey HN, cofounder of Artie here. I’ve been working on real-time database replication using CDC (Postgres/MongoDB into Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) with my wife for the last three years. Last time I posted here, people had to book a call with us to get access, but that’s no longer the case. You can connect your source and destination and start streaming immediately.I encountered this problem firsthand as a heavy data warehouse user at prior jobs. Our warehouse data was always lagged and analytics were always stale. The most visceral version of this today: imagine an AI agent making decisions – on pricing, support routing, risk scoring – off a data warehouse that's 3-12 hours behind.When we started, I thought the hard part was reading the WAL. The real problems:Schema drift: CDC events carry row data but not column metadata, so when an engineer adds a column in prod, events with that column start arriving at the destination before you've run ALTER TABLE. In this case, you wouldn’t get

Ask HN: Are we as society going to let LLM companies take all the values?I am not that young, but I'm not that old. I used to be a child, and thought that the adults already figured things out and I can be at peace.One of my realization of me getting older is the realization that there are no adults in the room anymore, or that I am now, an adult, who, also the same like other adults, we actually don't know shit about anything, none of us do.I think LLM is a useful technology. But since the dawn of LLMs, I've been trying to imagine what the world will look like if we take LLM to its logical conclusion. It seems to me, despite of all its benefits, LLM is a sword too sharp for all of us to handle. Its not gonna be sunshines and rainbows.A couple things I'm thinking about below, and these are all just societal impact, not even environmental ones:- Young people lost their career ladders. Capitalism doesn't work anymore. We have permanent underclass. And maybe worldwide scale societal unrest, in which violence will be the norm.- People stop creating music, stop

Show HN: A macOS game with zero asset files – terrain, sound, art all generatedStrataris is a first-person colony-defence shoot-'em-up for macOS — Defender by way of Rescue on Fractalus. But the reason I'm posting it here is the build constraint: there are no asset files at all. No textures, no audio files, no 3-D models, no fonts.Everything is generated in code:- Terrain is fractal-noise (fbm) heightmaps rendered as a GPU triangle mesh, height-banded and slope-shaded, that composites with a hand-built 2-D HUD and gets blit-upscaled nearest-neighbour for the pixelated look. - Ships & buildings are flat-shaded low-poly hulls, a handful of triangles each. - Music & SFX come from a from-scratch synth (square/saw/triangle/noise/rumble voices plus a Karplus-Strong plucked string, with envelopes, overdrive and a limiter). The title theme is an original generative build. - Radio comms are speech rendered offline and band-pass-filtered into a crackly cockpit-radio timbre, with squelch and roger bleeps. - Fonts are a 5×7 bitmap for the HUD plus a Core Text rasteriser.The

Show HN: Ccgs – Collaborative Claude Code sessions, stored in Git branchesMy team uses Claude Code daily, and the sessions have become some of the most useful artifacts we produce. But they're trapped in ~/.claude/projects/ on whichever laptop they happened on. There's no good way to hand a colleague "the session where I untangled the migration" so they can claude --resume it and keep going from where I left off. Enter ccgs: Share Claude Code sessions through an orphan branch (@ccgs/) in your existing repo's remote- Session files carry the author's absolute paths. On pull, ccgs rewrites the working dir back to your path so resume actually works — surgically editing only the structural cwd field, not a blind find-and-replace that would happily corrupt the transcript.- Everything goes through git plumbing (hash-object/commit-tree/update-ref) against a throwaway index. It never touches your working tree, index, or current branch, and it's fine with a dirty tree. It will not git checkout something behind your back.To try it without installing: `npx claude-git-se

Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?Genuine question.Over the past six months, there hasn’t been a single day where I’ve checked the HN Best RSS feed without seeing a post about how AI “writes bad code,” “introduces bugs,” “creates technical debt,” or something along those lines.I’ll probably make a lot of enemies by saying this, but do people realize that code is just a means to an end?Users don’t care whether the code was written by AI or by hand, or which framework you used. They care that the product works.I say this as someone who has spent more than 20 years honing their craft as a software engineer.Let’s face it: by the time I manually ship version 1.0 of a product, the AI-assisted version could have been deployed 10x faster. By then, enough real-world feedback would have surfaced to identify the major issues, and tools like Claude Code would make it possible to fix and ship version 2.0 at an incredible pace.At some point, execution speed starts to matter more than the elegance of the code.

Show HN: Group of Death – WorldCup bracket predictor with shareable URLsI couldn't find a nice worldcup bracket visualizer out there so ended up building one. It's nicer than the ones I saw out there. There is no login, no ads, runs client side, uses localStorage and all the state is encoded in the URL itself and you can share it.The calendar feature is nice. I wanted to build my own schedule for the games I was interested in. There is full calendar that you can subscribe to as well, that gets updated as the fixtures get decided. I also wanted to be able to interactively change things and visualize the whole knockout stage.All the state is in the URL fragment. It's a handrolled compact byte format. About 203 bytes, ~217 characters. The URL has the full snapshot so the link you share always renders the same brackets. It's versioned so I can change the format and not break links out there.At this point it does everything I wanted it to do for me. Might be some real howlers in there. Let me know if you spot one.

Show HN: I Derived a PancakeAfter 25 years of making other people's pancake recipes - always yearning for more tang, more fluff, and more predictability - I decided to derive the pancake recipe from the chemistry.You mark checkboxes for what you have on hand (ricotta, sour cream, kefir, buttermilk, yogurt, cottage cheese, lemon, cream of tartar, etc.) and it computes the best recipe based on targets for acid, fat, salt, sugar, and CO2.My particular favorite are the yeast-raised lemon ricotta kefir pancakes - the best I've ever had.The math is done in a small pure-ESM library: ingredient composition to component masses and acid moles, a stoichiometry layer, and a bisection solver for the target deficits.I'm not a chemist, so if something is off, tell me and I will fix it!

Ask HN: Is Everyone an Engineer Now?Marketing engineer for marketing people, design engineer for designers, sanitation engineer for janitors — so by that logic, cashier engineer would be next for the people who ring you up at checkout. What is up with this title inflation? Why call yourself an engineer just because you write software? To me, engineers are people who build things and take full responsibility for them — designing a bridge where thousands of lives are in your hands, building an airplane engine, filtering a city's water supply. Not pressing keys on a machine.

Ask HN: Why is it still so hard for LLMs to query NoSQL databases?LLMs are good at SQL. It's precise, expressive, and unambiguous. If you connect an MCP server to Postgres, then the agent can query it directly. The same cannot be said for NoSQL, and given how many people use NoSQL databases, I’m surprised there isn’t more discussion about it.Part of the problem is diversity. MongoDB, DynamoDB, Cassandra, Redis, and Neo4j all have different query models. There's no shared interface for an LLM to reason about. So instead of writing a query, the agent has to write code: SDK calls, manual aggregation, pagination logic. It becomes more complex, harder to review, and quickly breaks on anything non-trivial.We ran into this problem with DynamoDB specifically and ended up building our own solution. I wrote about it here if anyone's curious: https://dynamosql.hashnode.dev/why-llm-agents-still-can-t-query-nosql-databases. But I'm more interested in how others have handled this. Why is it still such an unresolved problem?

Ask HN: What happens when humans become as dumb as AI?The existential risk that has received much attention is machines eventually becoming as smart as people, and then smarter still. What I see in the news, and, anecdotally, around me is rather the opposite. Thinking is hard. People, even those who went through rigorous university training to develop their critical thinking, are increasingly outsourcing thinking to machines. SOTA models don't need to get any better to catch up with us, they just need to wait. And maybe not even that long. I wonder what happens then?As for my opinion, I am an economist by training. There are many people, many educational systems; the risks stemming from the mistakes people make are idiosyncratic, and they average out in aggregate (to an extent). On the other hand, there are just a few SOTA models. If all thinking is done by them, the aggregate risks will be much larger, I'd suppose.

I was laid off a month ago, didn't have any saving cos I was already hand-to-mouth, supporting a family of 5 with funding my brother's University fee.I am really depressed and have done nearly everything I knew to market my SaaS products but nothing's working.Tried: 1. Submitting my product on SaaS directories + on LTD ones (got rejections & some didn't respond), 2. Built in Public (no response), 3.

Show HN: LMAO – Temu League of Legends, Built with Opus 4.8Fun weekend project just to test out 4.8 against a pretty vanilla setup.Started out with a simple prompt, "build a temu league of legends, web-only with online, room-based multiplayer".It built it... fully functional in one shot! Then I went kinda ham and started iterating on every aspect little by little. I made it spin up subagents to each focus on designing a character. Spun up subagents to focus on designing abilities and their SFX/VFX. Did a few passes over the map, mobs, minions, etc.Then I put Ultracode Workflows to task and, across a handful of prompts, had it optimize performance, balance, and a variety of other things. Workflows is insane btw...I also used /goal pretty heavily as well. I'd sit and play and make note of like 10-15 tweaks, bug fixes, etc at a time and just let it go to town.4.8 is a one shot machine... 5.5 ain't doin this...Anyways, figured I'd share. Happy to answer any questions in the comments!Try it out solo (with bots) or with friends! https://lmaomoba.com

Launch HN: Rudus (YC P26) – AI for concrete contractorsHi HN, we’re Rishi and Sahil. We’ve developed Rudus (https://www.rudus.ai/), an AI-powered takeoff and estimation platform built for concrete subcontractors.Takeoff is the process of measuring and quantifying materials from concrete plan sheets. Rudus identifies every concrete structure (footings, walls, columns, slabs), pulls in related details, and eliminates hours of manual quantity calculation. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAMNDRWEdlI.The problem: Concrete subcontractors are the backbone of every building, but their estimating workflow hasn't changed in 20 years. Right now, a senior estimator opens a PDF, manually traces every footing and grade beam, then hand-builds an Excel spreadsheet with 300+ line items- volumes, formwork, rebar by bar size with lap splices and development lengths. Bids can take weeks and even months. Most firms have just a few estimators, meaning they physically cannot bid on most of the work available to them.The software incumbent in this

Show HN: Modeloop – A modern model-based design toolHi Developers, I'm Luca, the creator of Modeloop. I've spent the last 18 months building, from scratch, a model-based design tool and today I'm finally opening the Open Beta.Modeloop is a tool designed to generate code and deploy on embedded systems. The core idea behind this product is to create a vertical solution to design, test and iterate on the model faster, leveraging the modern software practices like Git. For this reason, Modeloop avoids vendor lock-in by saving model data as readable JSON rather than proprietary formats, making model reviews significantly easier.At its core, Modeloop is conceived with a developer-first mindset, focusing on delivering an optimal user experience. This approach comes from my personal experience working in the robotics and automotive industries where I've experienced firsthand the frustration of fighting with tool configurations. The software we use should be built to accelerate innovation, not spend all day setting the right parameters to make t

Show HN: Review-First AI IDE, Built on Codex and OpenCodeHey HN, I’m Vignesh, solo dev.Handler is a Mac app for Codex and OpenCode that adds a review layer while the agent is generating code.Every edit comes with a short explanation: what changed, why it changed, and what it touches. If one edit needs more context, you can open a side chat on just that change and ask follow-ups without derailing the main agent run.The goal is to build a mental model as the code is generated, instead of waiting until the end and reviewing one giant diff cold.It’s the same idea that makes stacked PRs easier to review: smaller, understandable units. Handler applies that at AI generation time, before the change turns into one giant diff.This year I mostly stopped writing code by hand. I drive agents now, and I’m faster for it.But a few months in I noticed a problem. The agent would come back with a 400-line change, tests green, diff looked reasonable, and after the first few chunks I’d pretty much lose the mental model. At that point I wasn’t really reviewing an
