Ask HN: No Path from Techie to Management?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49376072When I was a much more junior techie I would apply for management roles in my company only to be told that I needed more experience and to upgrade my credentials. Years later I have certifications, a graduate degree and have advanced through the technical ranks. Now when I apply to management roles I am told that they are looking for a fresh perspective after hiring junior to intermediate applicants into the roles.I am not an isolated example at my work and as a result we have lost some excellent talent. Is this happening at other companies or is mine an outlier?Outside of this problem I really like where I work and the people that I work with but I feel that I may need to move on if I want to advance my career. I can't think of a way to address this problem with the higher ups without torching my future further.

Launch HN: Vendo (YC S26) – Let users build features on top of your producthttps://github.com/runvendo/vendoHi HN, we’re Yousef & Nour, founders of Vendo (https://vendo.run). Vendo lets users create new features inside the software they already use. A user describes the dashboard, workflow, or small app they need, and Vendo builds it on top of the product’s existing data, API, and interface.Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdpHehY64lsWe built Vendo because every SaaS eventually faces the same problem: every customer needs something slightly different. One wants a new report and another needs a workflow that only makes sense for their team. These requests either sit on the roadmap, become one-off engineering work, or force the customer into spreadsheets and external tools. We wanted the user to be able to create the missing feature themselves, without leaving the product.Here is how it works:- npx vendo init reads the product's API surface, theme, routes, and more. These are used so that the apps Vendo creates (1) look on-brand and native and (2) have the ability to read data and perform

Show HN: Check if any of the $656M in unclaimed royalties at The MLC is yourshttps://pub.doub.ly/Hi HN, I built this. Quick background on why it exists:When music is streamed on digital streaming platforms (think Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora), there are two separate royalty streams: one for the recording, paid through your distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, CDBaby), and one for the underlying work (generally known as publishing). The work side's mechanical royalties are collected by The MLC, a nonprofit that was created by the 2018 Music Modernization Act (MMA). If you haven't registered your songs with The MLC, there are issues with your metadata, or about half a dozen other reasons, that money will never reach you, it just collects in a big pile we call the "black box".That pile is big. The MLC's own dashboard currently shows over $656M is held (themlc.com/blanket-royalties), and the biggest problem is the MMA dictates that The MLC cannot hold that money indefinitely. At some point, by law, The MLC must distribute this big pile of cash, and since they don't know who it's suppose

Show HN: LilScript makes JavaScript libraries smallerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49374554https://yeargun.github.io/lilscript/LilScript is a typed, compression-first language that compiles into js and sometimes into exec(will be more stable in future). The compiler mangles, reshapes the program into optimized js that happens to be 5-15% smaller (after gzip/br compression or raw) compared to the best performing JS toolchains like oxc/esbuild/terser/..## What has been proven to work with LilScript?- makes VSCode's core js modules 20% smaller on average- makes the world's most performant & small markdown rendering npm library, marked, 5-7% smaller and 10% faster- and many more demos.. works with pretty much any js/ts library## How it is compressing js finer than vite/oxc/terser/esbuild/..### 1.

markdownbuddy.inawa.app
Show HN: Markdown Buddy – Native macOS Markdown Editor with Quick Look and Xcodehttps://markdownbuddy.inawa.app/I write a lot of project documentation in Markdown, and two things kept annoying me on macOS: Quick Look shows .md files as raw text, and Xcode shows a README as plain source. So I built the app I wanted. Swift and AppKit, 4.8 MB, sandboxed. The editor is a plain NSTextView. The rendered view is WKWebView, so it uses the system engine rather than a bundled browser, which is where the size difference comes from. Quick Look and Finder thumbnails are separate app extensions sharing the same renderer.Beyond preview: open a folder as a workspace and browse every .md in a tree, search across all of them, and see a graph of the links between documents with broken ones flagged. An Xcode Source Editor extension opens the file you are looking at, rendered, from the Editor menu.One implementation detail I found non-obvious. The live preview restyles the NSTextStorage as you type. The hard rule is that it must never touch attributes while an input method is composing, or Japanese, Chinese and Kore

testmagic.link
Show HN: testmagic.link – Zero-setup magic link testing for coding agentshttps://testmagic.linkI built testmagic.link because Claude Code kept using my personal Gmail when testing magic-link authentication, filling my inbox with test emails.I know there are existing email testing services, but the ones I found require signing up, getting credentials, and integrating an API. That felt like overkill when I just wanted to tell Claude Code: "test the email sign-in using testmagic.link".So I made testmagic.link. No signup, no API keys, no integration. It’s basically a one-liner with a domain that’s easy to remember. I also added an llms.txt file at the root, so agents instantly know how to read the inbox without me explaining it.There’s also an optional mail-scanner simulation: add ?prefetch=1 to the inbox URL, and testmagic.link will GET each message’s magic link once before you open it, without following redirects — similar to how Outlook Safe Links or a corporate mail scanner might prefetch links. This is useful for catching magic-link flows that break when a security scanner visi

Show HN: Sitmap – a World in Conflict inspired map maker for Cold War scenarioshttps://tomaytotomato.github.io/sitmap/I loved the game World in Conflict (2007)One of those aspects I enjoyed was the maps shown during the loading screens. The colour choices and aesthetics were really striking and made the game even more immersive.Using Claude Fable and some photoshop skills, with a few tweaks here and there. I managed to get something quite useable and probably useless to most people shipped.If you enjoy maps, military, strategy etc, hopefully it is of interest to you.

Show HN: I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-devicehttps://simedw.com/2026/08/20/midi-autocomplete/I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15).The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device.The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

protobuf.com
Show HN: Protobuf.com, a visual, interactive guide to Protocol Buffershttps://protobuf.com/Protobuf is a fairly simple format, but the way people are first introduced to it often doesn't speak to them. That is how it was for me at first. I tried to address that in two ways: simple visual diagrams where a picture does the work better than prose, and interaction so you can get a feel for the language and how it behaves without installing anything.Some parts of the guide run a real Protobuf compiler, bufbuild/protocompile, in the browser through WASM. It's the same compiler the buf CLI uses.Feedback welcome.Disclosure: I work at Buf, and Buf owns the domain. The guide started as a side project before I joined.

Offline RAG on iOS with Spatial Integrationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49371913I'm the developer behind CartoType. I’ve been working on bridging local language models with offline mapping, and I have just put together a demo of a completely offline Spatial RAG pipeline running natively on an iPhone. The new system is named the CartoType Field Assistant. You can find the website at https://cartotype.comDemo (1m 19s): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a8yQPn7_jyIUse cases: Any organisation with field technicians or emergency first responders needs complex procedural knowledge tied to physical locations ('assets') where they don't have guaranteed network connectivity. Examples include offshore wind farms, power distribution networks, railway infrastructure, mountain rescue, and military uses.For this demo I query the iPhone app in Airplane mode: "A hiker near Tuolumne Meadows has a dislocated shoulder. What is the reduction protocol, and where is the Tuolumne Meadows Ranger Station?"HOW IT WORKSThe core is a portable C++ engine running vector search across an encrypted
