Show HN: Traccia - Observability, Runtime Control & Audit for agentshttps://traccia.ai/AI applications are becoming agents, which has started to take autonomous decisions. There are plenty of tools and platform available to trace, and observe what an agent or llms calls does. They are good in what they do, but tracing and observability isnt enough for AI agents era. We need a solution that can help you observe, evaluate, create run time policies to govern and finally audit the actions of the agent. We built Traccia to solve this problem. The good part, all of these can be achieved by just writing few lines of code. Traccia has an open-sourced sdk that can work with your existing observability tool like grafana, tempo, jaeger, etc. In case you need more than just observability, Traccia provides the platform to evaluate, control and audit the agents. The platform is easy to use. The product's documentation is quite extensive. It is also cloud vendor and framework agnostic. Traccia is being built by an Indian start up ,based out of Bengaluru. We are running a 3 months free Aug 21, 2026 6:20 PM

Ask HN: Combining Healthcare and Software Engineering into a Careerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49390762I'm a former software engineer (self-taught) who is currently in school studying Kinesiology. I plan on going to graduate school for Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy. Before starting school, I gained a few years of experience working with disabled children. I decided to pursue OT/PT because I very much enjoy working with disabled populations, but want more autonomy to actually make decisions that impact their well being.Despite all of this (and a rocky resume), I still feel like programming is a part of me and is something I find enjoyable as a discipline.Has anyone successfully made a career combining healthcare and software engineering?

Show HN: Proliferate- open-source, self-hostable Codex for any coding agenthttps://github.com/proliferate-ai/proliferateHi HN- I'm Pablo, the founder of Proliferate (YC S25)!Proliferate (https://github.com/proliferate-ai/proliferate) is an open-source, self-hostable AI IDE that lets you work and automate tasks with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and Grok in one place.Here's a quick 2m demo of how we use Proliferate to build Proliferate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGNX0oaWmBYI started building Proliferate after my team onboarded to OpenAI Codex. Within days, we were using it for everything: using computer use instead of navigating websites ourselves, having Codex coordinate other agents, and setting up automations for recurring work. We really never needed to leave the desktop app to get work done.If my team’s experience is anything close to representative, a Codex-like app (a horizontal agent with a beautiful UI) is the main interface every company is going to use to get work done. That is perfectly in line with OpenAI’s mission to make Codex the everything app (see: https://news.ycombinatorAug 21, 2026 4:47 PM
