Ask HN: Better places to work for burntout SWE?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46211822I've tried my share of startups and megacorps, FAANGs. I am in a stage where I cringe on hearing a mission is so important that it needs a 996 culture. I also hate work getting stolen in the name of collaboration and politics in general thats daily business in Megacorps. I just want to bang out code, mentor juniors and deliver value in a small team that doesn't have an unhealthy obsession with growth or overworking. Maybe with rich founders who don't want to get more rich.Where can I find good places to work, especially in the US that offer: 1. Remote first setting 2. Mission oriented like Privacy, non-profit background etc (or Open Source with proven history) 3. Holocracy/Flat structureI think the above 3 criteria will really narrow down places that prioritize mission over growth/profits and automatically not pay a lot yet have a higher technical bar that deters a lot of folks who would end up optimizing for things that lead to a mess. Am I looking for a Unicorn?

Show HN: Detail, a Bug Finderhttps://detail.dev/Hi HN, tl;dr we built a bug finder that's working really well, especially for app backends. Try it out and send us your thoughts!Long story below.--------------------------We originally set out to work on technical debt. We had all seen codebases with a lot of debt, so we had personal grudges about the problem, and AI seemed to be making it a lot worse.Tech debt also seemed like a great problem for AI because: 1) a small portion of the work is thinky and strategic, and then the bulk of the execution is pretty mechanical, and 2) when you're solving technical debt, you're usually trying to preserve existing behavior, just change the implementation. That means you can treat it as a closed-loop problem if you figure out good ways to detect unintended behavior changes due to a code change. And we know how to do that – that's what tests are for!So we started with writing tests. Tests create the guardrails that make future code changes safer. Our thinking was: if we can test well enough, we c

Show HN: Memory System Hitting 80.1% Accuracy on LoCoMo (Built in 4.5 Months)https://github.com/vac-architector/VAC-Memory-SystemI’ve been working on an independent memory-retrieval architecture for agent systems. I don’t have a CS background — previously worked climbing cell towers and doing handyman jobs — but I spent the last 4.5 months building a hybrid memory system from scratch.The system combines FAISS, BM25, and a symbolic ranking layer (MCA). Answers are generated with GPT-4o-mini at temperature 0. The focus is determinism, transparency, and reproducibility rather than model size.On the official LoCoMo benchmark (1,540 questions), the system reaches 80.1% average accuracy. To my knowledge, that’s above the publicly reported results for existing agent-memory stacks using small models.Latency is ~2.5 seconds, and cost is ~$0.10 per 1M tokens. Memory is fully isolated and local, which makes it usable for offline or enterprise applications.Repository (code + full reproducible benchmarking): https://github.com/vac-architector/VAC-Memory-SystemHappy to answer technical questions, discuss the architecture, or

Show HN: I built a lightweight AI tool to analyze visitor behaviorhttps://getallinsights.comI started working on this when I realized what's wrong with tools like FullStory. I work at a B2C iGaming company in product management. We use FullStory and it has been very helpful for watching session recordings to analyze customer behavior, but also for session replays during bug investigations.However, there are a couple of problems with it. It's very expensive and very heavy because it captures all DOM changes, so it slows down the experience of the end user. For these reasons you are forced to do heavy sampling, for example record only 10% of the sessions. Apart from that, you need to spend a lot of time watching session replays, and sometimes you cannot find the session you are interested in as it might not be included in the recorded sample.This was basically the trigger for the idea. I started working on building my own tool. The idea was to make it as simple and lightweight as possible, and focus on clarity rather than adding a lot of bloat.Also worth mentioning, I have noti

Show HN: Phofee – Photography social platform built with Svelte 5https://phofee.com/Hello everyone! For the past few months I have been working on Phofee, a social platform for sharing high quality photos.The goal: Make a website that allows users to easily upload, share, and discover photos without having to sacrifice quality or mangle their images.Phofee allows users to upload multiple images of varying aspect ratios. All sub images in a single post are displayed in a small photo gallery, so all your photos can be seen at a glance.One of Phofee's unique features is the automatic extraction of photo metadata. When a user uploads a photo, metadata such as Camera Model, Lens, Aperture, ISO, and shutter speed are displayed under your photo. This way, other photographers can gain better insight into your creation process and learn from it.For this project, I took privacy very seriously. - All metadata is deleted from user's photos before posting. - We store minimal user information. - We don't store user passwords (by using Google OAuth). - We don't use Google Analytics.

Show HN: Zp – A terminal clipboard manager with P2P sync between deviceshttps://github.com/bahdotsh/zpHi HN – I've been working on zp, a clipboard manager for the terminal. You can copy file contents or command output with it, and it keeps a searchable history.The newest update adds peer-to-peer clipboard syncing between machines. You can sync your clipboard history across your laptop, desktop, work computer, etc. No cloud services or accounts — just direct machine-to-machine sync over your local network (or SSH if needed). It runs in the background and just works.``` # Copy a file's contents to clipboard zp notes.txt# Pipe output to clipboard cat config.yml | zp# View searchable clipboard history zp --logs# Enable P2P sync zp --sync-enable zp --add-peer desktop:http://192.168.1.10:8080 zp --sync-daemon ```

Show HN: A Unique User-in-the-Loop Agent for Investment Researchhttps://vector.deepinsightlabs.ai/loginHey HN,I am a first time founder working on Vector -- an agentic platform for investment research and analysis. Looking for feedback on the public beta that was launched, specifically around the unique philosophy behind this product. Which usually ends up either really gamechanging or just dumb -- I recognize this and hence feel the need to try and validate things as early as possible.This product was born from personal needs and frustration with existing platforms and tools. I am a retail investor myself managing a significant personal portfolio. Even though I only rebalance quarterly, it takes significant time and effort to keep up with emerging risks to my portfolio and even more time to research and develop conviction around new ideas for diversification. Seeking Alpha is a chore to go through with too much generic content, inconsistent quality and noise. ChatGPT and Perplexity Finance lack a decent workflow (too chatbot centric).

Show HN: Satirical AI Portfolio Project. How to Make It Funnier and Meaningful?https://robotsave.me/Hey HN,I built robotsave.me in a short burst of inspiration as a portfolio piece. The idea:A fake AI productivity tool that pretends to automate your job with one click.But behind the joke, my real goal was to: Showcase that I can ship a product from scratch, fast. Integrate OpenAI and Zapier APIs meaningfully. Design something clean, responsive, and slightly unhinged. Poke fun at automation hype while still delivering a working product. Now that it's out, I feel it’s... missing bite. It doesn’t hit the “this is hilarious but also kind of real” note I was aiming for.Looking for feedback and ideas. Specifically: - How would you add stronger humor without turning it into a total joke site? Should I go full parody (like a fake SaaS pricing page)? Or stay dry and subtle? - What would give it more meaning? Any ways to anchor this more in reality, maybe by turning it into commentary on AI, layoffs, or startup culture? - Would you add more interactivity or fake use cases? For example: “Robot

Show HN: Runal – A text-based creative coding environment for the terminalhttps://github.com/emprcl/runalHello HN!Just wanted to share a small project I've been working for the last few months.It's a tool called Runal, a text-based creative coding environment that runs in the terminal. It works similarly as processing or p5js but it does all the rendering as text. And it can either be scripted with JavaScript or used as a Go package. It's open-source and cross-platform (linux, macOS, windows).It seems to me that text/ascii-art aesthetics are really popular in creative coding communities, so I though it would make sense to create a tool that runs on a platform which can render text only.It's still rough on the edges, but I'd gladly welcome any feedback!

Airbnb has locked payment on my account for 8 weeks and still no follow-up emailhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44424041A little before mid-May I opened Airbnb, as I’ve done hundreds of times over the past decade, to secure a house for an important summer event with friends. I clicked “Book,” waited for the familiar animation… and the payment failed.No big deal, I thought. I switched to another card. Same red banner. I tried my balance of gift credits. No luck. Over the next hour I repeated the ritual from three different devices—laptop, phone, even an old tablet—using cards issued while living and working all around Europe, both Americas, the Middle East. Every attempt ended the same way: an error, no explanation.For the first time in ten years of globe-trotting stays—rooftops in Lisbon, cabins in Patagonia, canal apartments in Amsterdam, lofts in San Francisco, studios in Dubai—Airbnb slammed a door in my face.So began my long walk through support.The chat agent was polite and assured me a “specialist” would email me.

Show HN: I made SEO backlink exchange platform using vector embeddingshttps://www.babylovegrowth.ai/Hey HN,I’m a solopreneur and have been in the SaaS space for the past 3 years. My last three startups failed, and a common challenge in all of them was figuring out how to reach my audience. SEO always seemed like the answer, but I didn’t know where to start. It felt overwhelming...Soo many technical terms like keyword research, clustering, SERP, semantics, topical authority… I could go on.That’s where my idea for my next startup came from -> building SEO tool which runs on auto-pilot. The complexity of SEO is hidden behind a simple UI and everything happens automatically behind the scene, even publishing and backlink exchange! I have been working on it for the past 8 months and already have 500+ registered users (not all paying ofc) (mainly got them through reddit)My biggest bet (and competitor differentiator) is the ABC backlink exchange platform we just launched. With it, we are getting our customers 4-7 backlinks per month, naturally placed within articles. No more paying for backl

Show HN: Laser-Tracer, programmable virtual volumetric vector displayhttps://westoncb.github.io/laser-tracer/This was an idea I had 7yrs ago that I recently decided to go ahead and build since by working with LLMs (mostly o3 and Gemini 2.5 pro) it seemed doable in reasonable time.The original motivation was partly aesthetic, but mostly that this was the ideal "language" for me to express arbitrary 3d forms through. I wanted something with zero boilerplate that would be a natural fit for algorithmic expression. For me, writing programs that say how to move a "pen" around in 3d space was more intuitive than e.g. writing pixel shaders.The format is inspired by Logo/Turtle, and somewhat mimics how a 3d printer works in that Laser-Tracer programs are G-Code like: the fundamental operation is depositing points; from there we get 'traces' specified by either relative (pen.traceBy(x,y,z)) or absolute destinations (pen.traceTo(x,y,z)). And built on top of traces are 'macros' for doing things like drawing text or sweeping polygons.When deposits are made by the 'pen,' it emits additively blended particl

Launch HN: BitBoard (YC P25) – AI agents for healthcare back-officeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44237769Hi HN! We’re Connor and Ambar, and we’re working on BitBoard (https://bitboard.work). We build AI agents that handle repetitive administrative tasks in healthcare clinics like filling out intake forms, prepping charts, or managing referrals.We were early employees at Forward, which provided primary care across the US. To scale this, we relied on thousands of remote contractors to do repetitive administrative work like reconciling patient records, and scheduling follow-ups based on care plans. It was a huge bottleneck—expensive, error-prone, and always pulling attention away from clinical care. Our software solutions were always too brittle, never managing to handle the variance of clinical data we oversaw.AI, when applied well, is capable of performing a lot of the tasks we manually did. So we decided to take another crack at the problem by building today what we would have liked to have back then, and to help clinics use it.Clinics send us their SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures—for
