Show HN: RipStop – Git guardrails to reduce impact if your code agent goes wildhttps://github.com/jonverrier/RipStopHi all,RipStop is a node package implementing a set of rules that consumers can use to protect their repos from wilder actions by LLM agents. A consumer needs only a few lines of code to configure the rules they wish to apply. Example rules: no PII in commits, no Git actions that interfere with the Git history and thus might impact your ability to recover from problems.I built this for two main reasons: - in my own repos I had a few incidents - in one Claude Code erased some un-staged changes, and in another started trying to roll back some commits. - I was reflecting on why agentic development is slow on the uptake in corporate environments. One possibility is fear of the wilder actions LLMs take - so I thought it might be helpful to illustrate how to control these.The security model is as follows: - Layer 1 - guidance to the LLM in AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md. This is of course guidance, and gets forgotten if context rot sets in. - Layer 2 - Git controls, via hooks that get fired automati

Can you help reconcile my first/second-hand LLM Experience with HN's Experience?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48102861I've made an account as a long-time lurker because I am hoping y'all could help reconcile my experience in my company/team with what seems to be the wise HN consensus around LLMs.My Background (Software Engineer II):I've been writing software professionally for >10 years and grew up coding games/websites for fun; did my undergraduate in C.S./C.E., and did some time in ML research and such. Right now I'm on the back-end/DevOps team - my teammates are all Senior Staff/Principal Engineer (one is almost double my age lol!) and we have a pretty standard tech stack (NodeJS, AWS, C++, etc) with 95% brownfield development at a large but not FAANG-like company. I've had my current job for >6 years and out of ~20 in our department I'm the third newest!I'd say I'm a pretty stereotypical engineer AKA "a total nerd" with private side projects mostly around implementing computational geometry or procedural simulation papers in Rust, sometimes working on a lil website tool we use daily.

Ask HN: Experience with Odd-Shaped Monitors?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48100504I have an idea for a hobby project to build a cocktail-table style curling video game for my local curling club.The official dimensions of a curling sheet are approximately 150 feet long and 15 feet wide for a 10:1 ratio. Assuming padding on the sides for some UI, an aspect ratio of 5:1 or 4:1 probably would work. Ultra widescreen monitors come in at around 32:9 or ~3.6:1, so that's also probably workable.However, I'd like the controls to be touchscreen and the largest 32:9 touchscreen I can find is the Asus ProArt pa147cdv, which is 14".Looking around, there are some displays made for advertising that are larger but not touchscreen. Samsung has some interesting alternatives, such as the SH37R. I also see the Canlarriz "48.5-inch Ultra-Wide Bar Digital Signage Display" available. The best I've seen might be the "Litemax SSD5846-I 58.4″ Stretch Digital Display", but at 1400 nits, I'm concerned it would blind people.To make this work, I'd probably need to put PCAP film on the back of tem

Show HN: OpenGravity – A zero-install, BYOK vanilla JS clone of Antigravityhttps://github.com/ab-613/opengravityHi. I’m a high school student studying for my GCSEs. I was using Google Antigravity heavily for my side projects, but I kept hitting the usage limits, and getting random "agent terminated" errors. So I decided to try build my own version of the IDE. I love the UI, so I copied it as accurately as possible, and then hooked up some logic into it, including the INCREDIBLY finicky webcontainer api.I tried to keep it super lightweight, no build steps, or dependencies, and now that its open source, I'm hoping people can build things on top of it that arent possible with closed source tools, like complex custom agent workflows.Some screenshots: - https://github.com/ab-613/OpenGravity/blob/main/examples/scr... - https://github.com/ab-613/OpenGravity/blob/main/examples/htm...What it's made from:- Pure Vanilla JS: no react, vue, or build step.

Show HN: Inspection Credit – read your inspection, draft the negotiationhttps://www.inspectioncredit.comHi HN. I built Inspection Credit because the inspection-response window in a home purchase is one of the worst-designed parts of the entire transaction.You get a 60 to 90 page inspection report at 11pm. You have 5 days to respond. Half the report is photos of outlets. A third is non-issues. The 3 or 4 things that actually matter are buried on page 47 next to a missing smoke detector. Your inspector legally cannot advise on negotiation. Your agent makes commission when you close, not when you walk. So you decide, alone, in a panic.The product takes the PDF and returns a packet with the negotiable findings, a credit-request letter, an escalation script for seller pushback, walk-away guidance that references your state's standard inspection-response form, and a UPL-defensive disclaimer. $79, refundable if the report turns up nothing worth negotiating.A few engineering notes:(1) The aggregator sites (HomeAdvisor, Fixr, Angi, HomeGuide) disagree by 30 to 50 percent on the same repair scope.

Coding might go the way of woodworkinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48096572At one point well before the age of industrialization all furniture was hand crafted so to speak by trained artisans. As time went on they started working together in workshops, had more formal training processes through guilds and perhaps most important saw improved work flows through specialization, improved tooling and the use of ever more sophisticated jigs and templates.Industrialization took things to another lever. Mastery meant skill in using ever more complicated and industrialized machinery. Profit seeking behavior set the focus on automation, repeatability and perhaps most important reducing the skill necessary to do the job.Today nearly all furniture is made in factories using not wood but rather sawdust and wood particles glued and pressed together. The process is deskilled, if anything the skilled work is in designing, manufacturing and tuning the machines that make the furniture, not in making furniture itself.We still teach woodworking in schools, oddly enough though we

Show HN: Objo Studiohttps://objo.devObjo Studio is a new development environment for building desktop and command line apps. It has a visual designer, a debugger, a compiler, and a modern BASIC-like language called ObjoBasic. The aim is simple: make it enjoyable to build real applications for macOS, Windows and Linux and learn how to program.I've been working on Objo Studio in one shape or another since about 2019. I've always loved tools that let you move quickly from idea to working prototype and that abstract a lot of complexity and get out of your way. This has been tried before (VisualBasic, Xojo, etc) but have either been abandoned, become expensive or lost focus on hobbyists.The whole stack is written in C#. There's a custom stack-based VM that is roughly on-par with Python for speed but this is not a high performance tool. It's an all-in-one IDE for visually developing cross-platform desktop apps. It tries to make it simple for users, abstracting runtimes and libraries to help newcomers learn but also let them th

Copilot "auto-pilot" system instructions making models worsthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48096339I use copilot for work, and I have this fight with models all the time because the model has an urgency to get things done,Sometimes I need to explain an issue, elaborate on the constraints, ask the model to research what's going on but I have to fight the model NON STOP to not start writing code... the solution is not to make the code pass where it's broken "fixing" all the unit test to now pass where they fail after the "fix"...To provide the context so a good solution is done and taking into consideration EVERYTHING THAT needs to be done I need to "have a talk" with the model so I can present all the things to consider...Today reading the output I got the two pieces below... first... this totally breaks the model for anything serious.. Why are you pushing the model to do something when I want it to do something else? I'M PAYING FOR IT,But now in the middle of this RANT I notice the model mention that the "Auto pilot" mode is actually pressuring it to assume things and move on to com

Show HN: SLayer, a semantic layer maintained by your agenthttps://github.com/MotleyAI/slayerHello HN!If you want to connect your agent to a database (say, to build a data analyst chatbot or any kind of agentic app) today you have 2 options: an SQL MCP server or a semantic layer.SQL MCP is the easiest path to setup, especially if you also have a .md knowledge base which the agent can update. It gets quite messy quickly though, especially if there's many interactions or DB is large. Generated SQL is hard to review if you want to understand where the numbers came from, and related queries can be hard to align and compare.The natural alternative is a semantic layer, which is an inventory of what data is available/useful (data models) and an interface for querying it using a structured DSL — usually a list of measures, dimensions, filters, with joins etc. handled under the hood.When we needed a semantic layer at Motley for connecting to our customers' data, we first settled on Cube with custom wiring for multi-tenancy and updating the models on the fly. We quickly hit some limitat

Show HN: Learn2Burp – Surgery-free solution for R-CPDhttps://learn2burp.comR-CPD (Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction) is a condition where a muscle in the throat never learned to relax properly, making it impossible to burp. It affects more people than you'd think and causes significant discomfort, extreme bloating, and social anxiety. The most common medical treatment is a botox injection, but it's expensive and not accessible to everyone.I'm a Software Engineer from Germany and suffered from R-CPD my entire life before curing myself last year. I wanted to make the self-teaching process easier for everyone who comes after me, so I built Learn2Burp. It walks you through exercises with video guidance, builds a workout plan around your specific situation, and includes a burp tracker. There's also a wiki covering the questions I wish I'd had answers to when I started.If you or someone you know has R-CPD, there's also a dedicated r/noburp community worth checking out.
