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. At first, I was happy: "wow, this can write boring boilerplate and unit tests". Time went by, agents got better, time spent writing code myself went down. Half a year ago I suddenly realized I hadn't written any code for over a month, and I am a full-time software dev without any managing work. Not only did I stop writing code, but agents also became pretty good at proposing plans and architectures, and I was mostly providing missi

Show HN: A coding-agent workbench built around Matt Pocock's coding workflowhttps://github.com/ticketry-hq/ticketry-downloads/releases/download/0.2.0/Ticketry_0.2.0_aarch64.dmgRepo URL: https://github.com/ticketry-hq/ticketryTicketry helps you execute a coding workflow using terminal agents. We run coding agents on tmux-based durable terminals. Each idea you have can be written down, and we take it through grilling, speccing, splitting it into tickets, implementation, and review. The workflow is based on Matt Pocock's workflow.Please have tmux installed for the terminal to work. Also go into your privacy settings and say "open anyway". I haven't signed it yet.Note: This is not a collaboration effort with Matt; it is just uses the skills.

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.

Show HN: Investment Bets – A performance tracker for market betshttps://investment-bets.comI've long been an index-investing type of person, but sometime last year I started making some side bets, especially in tech (some inspired by WSB). Since I was also sharing some of them with like-minded friends, I thought about simplifying this whole process.This is how Investment Bets came about: you pick a ticker, a direction and optionally a target date. From there, the site tracks your bet for as long as you keep it open (or until the target date), and you can always see the % gain/loss.The entry and exit prices are fetched automatically by the server at the respective times, so you can trust that a bet you see was legit and not just a self-report. The obvious downside is that you have to open/close them ASAP if you want to track your actual trades, but so far I haven't found that to be a problem.All the performance is tracked as percentages and all sizing is always equal, in order to focus on performance and make it easier to share without the sizing awkwardness.

Ask HN: Do teams really need to use GitHub?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49386514Enterprises can self-host, sure. Open source projects uses it for the the network effects of GitHub. But why does a small software team need to use GitHub?I understand the ecosystem argument. Once you've got your repos, CI/CD, PRs, code reviews, packages, integrations, etc. all wired into GitHub, moving everything is a pain. But Git itself is distributed, and GitHub has a pretty open plugin/integration system. There are also perfectly capable alternatives like GitLab, Bitbucket, Forgejo, Gitea, SourceHut, etc.So what is the actual thing that makes a 10–20 person software company stick with GitHub? Is it mostly switching costs? The ecosystem? Developer familiarity? Something else? And if you were to start a project today, would you still go with GitHub?And a slightly more personal question.I've had a rough idea for what a new GitHub could look like if it were built specifically for software that is increasingly being written by AI agents, and specifically for companies rather than open-
