Ask HN: What are your plans for the AI future?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48193860With AI ever increasing in ability I have been thinking about not only my future but the future for all of us involved in the tech sector and beyond. So I have to ask: what are your plans for the future when your job is obsoleted or devalued by AI?I work in manufacturing and do a lot of physical work and troubleshooting. At first I felt confident that AI would not displace me any time soon. However, that changed after the former president walked around confidently asking AI every technical question we spent time working on, trying to see where it could augment engineering and maintenance. It failed mostly, but it made me realize that people want to replace me. I do see a future where many of my skills could be replaced by a random person receiving a detailed walk through from AI using an AR headset.I feel that a lot of people today believe we are mostly fine. They feel AI isn't THAT good and there will still be a need for programmers and auto mechanics. However, there is no slow down i

Show HN: Forge – Guardrails take an 8B model from 53% to 99% on agentic taskshttps://github.com/antoinezambelli/forgeHi HN, I'm Antoine Zambelli, AI Director at Texas Instruments.I built Forge, an open-source reliability layer for self-hosted LLM tool-calling.What it does:- Adds domain-and-tool-agnostic guardrails (retry nudges, step enforcement, error recovery, VRAM-aware context management) to local models running on consumer hardware- Takes an 8B model from ~53% to ~99% on multi-step agentic workflows without changing the model - just the system around it- Ships with an eval harness and interactive dashboard so you can reproduce every numberI wanted to run a handful of always-on agentic systems for my portfolio, didn't want to pay cloud frontier costs, and immediately hit the compounding math problem on local models. 90% per-step accuracy sounds great, but with a 5-step workflow that's a 40% failure rate. No existing framework seemed to address this mechanical reliability issue - they all seemed tailor-made for cloud frontier.Demo video: https://youtu.be/MzRgJoJAXGc (side-by-side: same model, same

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. But I mostly

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

AniTroves – An anime database with a custom LLM-based discovery hubhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48057592I’ve always felt that traditional anime databases rely too heavily on rigid tag-based searches. If you’re looking for a specific "vibe" or a very niche trope that isn't a primary tag, you usually end up scrolling through pages of irrelevant results.I built AniTroves (https://anitroves.com) to experiment with a more conversational, LLM-driven approach to series discovery.The Tech Behind the Hub:LLM Integration: Instead of a generic API wrapper, I've been working on a custom hub (https://anitroves.com/ai-hub/) that uses specialized models to understand series lore and character archetypes for roleplay and discovery.Anipick Engine: This is the logic layer that maps natural language queries to our database entries.Technical Transparency: I’ve implemented a structured llms.txt (https://anitroves.com/llms.txt) to provide a machine-readable source of truth for other crawlers and AI models.I’m currently the technical administrator and I'm handling the SEO and server scaling (managed on Hosting

Show HN: I built a skill, grounded in research, to make your writing less boringhttps://github.com/ericfitz/skills/blob/main/boring/README.mdMy job at a large tech company requires me to write. A lot. Mainly I write docs to help align technical people on a technical strategy, or to inform executives about technical matters, or to make requests of executives about technical proposals.I wanted to ensure that my writing was captivating and that the audience didn't just read the summary and skip the rest.I used a chat agent to build a research report on the academic literature about what makes writing boring or not-boring ("not-boring" is NOT the same thing as "interesting"). I synthesized that into a taxonomy, and built tooling for mechanistic analysis and prompts for LLM analysis, synthesis and recommendation.What this is: research-grounded analysis of a document with concrete evidence-based suggestions of how to improve it.What this is NOT: it's not a simplistic prompt "Help me make my document better" or even "make every section/paragraph/sentence earn its place". (I am developing a separate skill for that in the same repo,

Ask HN: Is writing code by hand still a necessary skill for developers?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48034901TLDR - My question is: For experienced developers, is writing code from scratch still a core skill worth learning?Is the future of development just using AI agents to orchestrate everything and just reviewing, debugging, giving specs, verifying, etc...?Rest of the information:I’m a full-stack "developer" trying to understand my career in the age of AI.I didn’t study CS, so I have a non-traditional background. I've also never worked with other developers until recently. I came from graphic design/web dev work (Wordpress, CSS, some JS, some PHP), did HTML email development for a bit (awful black magic), scripting/automations to help a content migration for a year, and now I have a full-stack role at a small company.I now work with everything. Backend, frontend, infrastructure, CI/CD, integrations. Mostly "Hey this is broken" - my job is to fix it. I understand some of the fundamentals well enough to be productive. I can read code, improve it (usually), and mostly explain what needs to ha

Show HN: PulsePages – Multi-page websites for $9/year (Carrd alternativehttps://www.pulsepages.coCarrd is good at one thing: one page. The moment you need a second page — a /pricing, an /about, a /blog — you're either hacking single-column scroll or jumping to Squarespace ($192/yr) or Wix ($192/yr+). Neither is proportionate for a portfolio, indie project, or small business that just needs a few pages.So I built PulsePages. Drag-drop block editor, unlimited pages, custom domains with auto-SSL, all for $9/year. Free tier covers unlimited single-page sites with no credit card.What's in it: - Block editor: text, images, video, embeds, contact forms - Custom domains + automatic SSL provisioning - AI writing assistant (drafts and rewrites page copy in context) - Version history: roll back any page to any saved state - Gated content: password-protect individual pages or sections - Free tier: unlimited single-page sites, no account required to tryStack: Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, Render, Resend.Live at pulsepages.co.
