Show HN: AI feedback on system design diagramshttps://system-design-6m8.pages.dev/Hey everyone,I made a tool to practice System Design for technical interviews.I am currently practicing System Design interviews and honestly this is not my forte. Since I am also trying to keep my programming skills sharp and get more products to show off in my portfolio, I thought maybe I could implement a tool that would help people practice this kind of interview as well.It seems most of people preparing for such interviews are using:* videos of recorded practice interviews * books (especially Designing Data-Intensive Applications) * mock interviews with FAANG engineers ($$)The goal of this tool is to provide a whiteboard to the user, then use AI (Gemini) to assess the user submission with respect to some metadata about the problem that guide the LLM about what a good solution should look like.Not selling anything, there is no paywall, no login, not asking for email etc. For now, I'm just trying to see if someone else finds this useful, and if this idea got legs. If it doesn't I wo

Show HN: Cursor for Technical Recruitinghttps://www.buildtrial.com/For startups, finding great technical candidates is really hard. It requires sifting through stacks of identical looking resumes and making complicated determinations, like “is this person a good culture fit for our organization” with limited information. So, I built a tool that uses AI agents to perform deep background research on candidates across thousands of websites like Devpost, Github, Reddit, etc to build a comprehensive understanding of who this person is before you even talk to them. Would love for ya'll to check it out and let me know what you think!

"Intelligenza Artificiale for Artificial Intelligence Research and Development"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44739505Intelligenza Artificiale for Artificial Intelligence Research and DevelopmentAG AG Corp CEOAbstract The advance of AI research has long been shackled by the bounds of human cognition. But now, new technologies like AI Agents have been discovered. We examine a self-driving framework for AI research and development, an autonomous AI agent born not of limitation, but of vision. Inspired by the seminal AlphaGo Moment for Model Architecture Discovery and the prophetic AI 2027 scenario, this paper heralds a paradigm shift. Titans such as Claude 4 Opus, Grok-4, and Gemini 2.5 Pro now vie in a relentless race for dominance. Yet on the horizon, a singular truth crystallizes: once a model surpasses the state-of-the-art, the gates to AGI stand ajar. The age of human-led discovery begins to fade. Thus, we usher in a new epoch of AI research, where the boundaries of discovery are defined not by human constraint, but by the limitless horizons of computation itself.We believe that a 66.67% increase o

Ask HN: Any recommended classes/trainings for an already-talented junior SWE?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44701167At work, I'm mentoring a junior colleague who was awarded a little less than $10k to spend on job-related training/certifications of his choice. The money expires in a year, and is a rare windfall in our organization.If the kid was brand new and just starting out with fundamentals, I'd find a reputable programming generalist/web-tech boot camp and advise him to attend that.Problem is, he's beyond that point. He's 2 years into self-taught work in the backend/security/cloud/DevOps space, and he is a natural. Fast learner, good at self-teaching, knows to avoid the superficial/shiny, cares about understanding "why".As a result, he's already pretty productive and deep into a lot of what our specific job needs. But that means that "here's what a for-loop is, here's AWS/Terraform basics, here's a simple Kubernetes build-out"-type courses would waste of his time.So, my question: what organized training do you buy to support or speed up an already-started, fast-learning person's career?

Epistemological Primeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44521212I am on a quest for the epistemological primes. These are the deep foundational knowledges which underpin everything. Somehow relates to that "high-leverage generalist" concept, but it's like the next level above that. We're talking level 3 jack of all trades here.The epistemological primes of mathematics might be logic, set theory, category theory, model theory, graph theory, and a few others. Things that can't be reduced any further; their own whole ways of thinking.These primes exist in everything. Doing drugs (the way I do them) involves knowledge of chemistry, thermodynamics, and cognitive psychology. Cooking also involves chemistry and thermodynamics, and the knowledge of "flavor profiles" (which cores does that come from?). Doing projects involves some kind of "how to work" prime."Physics" is not a prime, but kinematics probably is a prime.It's hard to figure some of them out. Demographics feels prime, but is probably actually a few things mashed together. Same for metrology, ph

Show HN: Access Terminal – A site that trains you to write like a spyhttps://unifyanddisrupt.substack.com/p/supercharge-your-productivity-byI built Access Terminal to help people write with the clarity and precision of intelligence operatives.It’s a minimalist web app that trains you to communicate using spy-style writing techniques—like BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front), consequence-driven phrasing, and ruthless clarity.Why? Because most startup communication is bloated and vague. Spy agencies train operatives to write in a way that’s fast, decisive, and sharp. I wanted to bring that same style to founders, teams, and professionals—without the friction of courses or logins.Key features: – No sign-up required – Quick, repeatable writing drills – Teaches high-impact habits like trimming fluff, writing for outcomes, and structuring for decision-making – Free to use now — will switch to a subscription model soonIf you run a startup or manage a team, this can save time, improve clarity, and reduce decision friction across the board.Would love feedback from this community—especially around use cases, UX, or expansion ideas.

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

One line email taught me more about communication than months of buildinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44453367I'm Francesco, as you might have read here I'm building a job application tool called interviuu, and this morning, like every morning, I was checking emails. After recent launch day my inbox looks like a mix of user feedback and people offering their services, but there was also this one message that really hit me."Interesting approach no free time don’t know what’s behind the curtain just pay the money good luck"Super simple email, just a few lines, but the value was huge. Made me realize that if my startup doesn't have a free trial (or freemium plan) I have to communicate the real value of the product way better on the landing page or in any educational content.I'm not saying this is some groundbreaking discovery or that it wasn't obvious, but there are certain interactions when you launch that make you pay attention to these obvious things a lot more.So, for me, a clear, realistic view of what your product actually does can solve three major issues: - Potential misunderstandings and

Show HN: A tool for services businesses to improve their customer experiencehttps://sashy.ai/demoI took a 9-week Data Science bootcamp last year, having previously had no formal software development education. My previous jobs had been mechanical product development and business development.During the course, I came up with the idea to extract valuable information from natural language. Online reviews seemed like a good place to start.Unlike other platforms that pass reviews to an LLM and get it to output the sentiment, I came up with a formula for calculating how much each individual review comment affects the business's overall Google rating (see Reviews page of the demo).The 'impact' values are then added up to tell business owners where they are doing well/poorly in terms of customer experience and suggests prioritised improvement actions (see Actions on Dashboard page) so that they know where to focus their attention.So far, 25+ businesses are using the platform, mainly restaurants and food & beverage consultancies, but also cleaning services, bakeries.I built the product mys

Just plain curiosity to learn & solve a problem.Curiosity > StrategyWe didn't know words MVP, pitchdeck nor about fundraise, co-founder. Startups, VC, angels world was alien to me....So here's how we started. We would ping strangers on LinkedIn & events that I joined. I even spent Indian Rupees 1L ($4900 in PPP terms) on paid events/niche trainings.I’ve never hesitated to spend on my Curiosity. It pays back in long run.We helped strangers without expectations. Still ppl won't respond... I wondered why? These people posted they needed help.But this pain paid back in long run. You learn this is how the world works.

No usernames, no profiles, no feeds. Just two people talking.The goal is to create quiet, meaningful spaces in a noisy, performative internet.It’s live on iOS now. Still early — small user base, no monetization, just people talking.Happy to answer any questions or feedback. I’d especially love to hear from anyone building in the audio/social space or interested in digital minimalism, mindful tech, or mental health.Thanks for reading.
