Coding Agents killed my identity. How do you feel?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49389408I always was a nerdy, deeply technical programmer. Contributing-to-open-source-and-reading-papers-in-my-spare-time type of programmer.Programming is like a game of chess for me: winning (i.e. delivering a product) is important, but only if I played this game myself. I don't enjoy winning if my opponent disconnected. I don't enjoy beating people who don't know how to move pieces. I don't enjoy winning with an engine, and coding agents are basically "winning with a chess engine".I started to use AI for coding a long time ago, when copilot was first introduced.

'The gift comes from the horse': How this growing Indigenous sport is staying grounded in traditionhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/indigenous-sport-relay-racing-9.7315114?cmp=rssIt’s a sport that involves flying down a dirt track on the bare back of a thoroughbred horse - and it’s gaining ground across the province – and the country.

Show HN: Chipmunk – Desktop Log Viewer Written in Rust and Eguihttps://github.com/esrlabs/chipmunkHi,I just want to share the results of re-writing the front-end and application layer for Chipmunk logs-viewer desktop application.The app was originally an electron app with rust backend as node-module. The re-write replaced all electron and javascript with rust using egui framework.The re-write took me about 6 months, where I encountered multiple architectural challenges to work with an immediate rendering framework and connect it to an async backend running on tokio without using Mutex to avoid any potential dead-locks issue in the future.Please have a look to the demos of the app on GitHub and feel free to ask me questions about the re-write or using Rust and egui in production applications.

Show HN:Over 50 AI-assisted books on science fiction and original philosophyhttps://www.axiologic.net/books.htmlI’ve just made public a collection of more than 50 science fiction and philosophy books written with AI assistance. The books are part of an European research project exploring how AI-assisted books can be created, evaluated, and analyzed. They are meant to be genuinely readable, and many of them develop unusual perspectives and ideas in good depth. I’d be very interested in feedback from the HN community—on the writing, the ideas, the research direction, or the project itself.
