Show HN: Picks a fair meeting point for your group, whatever their commute typesI've started working on this two years ago, on and off some weekends when inspired.I made it first for my group of friends, to solve a real frustration we had. Basically, when meeting on Friday night, we spent so much back-and-forth on our WhatsApp group debating on where to meet. Ken is at the absolute west of Paris, by car. I'm in the center, with a bike. Other friends are all around and use public transport.And if you didn't have strong arguments, you'd always end up near Ken's place, 'cause he was more assertive.Togather solves this: it takes the starting points of everyone (you can input them, or your friends can), takes commute types for each, and finds 3 meeting points that are fair. Fair is: average commute type is low, and spread is low.I'm still thinking on how to improve it, and then to market it. Would love some feedback!Thanks all, Luka

Even if it’s an option I have to dig deep to find.When I ran a site that had lots of search use I agonized over making search good and never nuked exact match for the sake of some fuzzy matching. I wish others would do the same.

Ask HN: I hate coding agents. Is this skill issue?1. Farewell deep focus. Before, I could work in flow state for hours on end. Now, waiting for the prompt to finish introduces constant interruptions, which translates into constant distractions, constant context switch, infinite ideas for endless new projects. My brain is melting. I can literally feel when my neurons start clogging up, forcing me to take frequent pauses just staring outside the window for 10 minutes straight.2. I don't own my own projects anymore. Before, I used to understand every single little implementation detail of a project. When a client reported a bug, I immediately knew what and where to fix in the code base. Now, all I can do is to clasp my hands and recite a prayer to the LLM deity, hoping that my voice will be heard.3. The overlords decide my fate. This is a corollary of #2. There's an outage every other day, and since I don't understand 80% of the code the AI has written, no AI available means it's literally impossible for me to work. I depend completely o
