Show HN: I hand-write 5 daily word puzzles before workhttps://www.dailyworder.com/I build and hand-write five daily word puzzles at dailyworder.com. Every clue and answer for the dailies are mine — I use AI for the code and it's unlocked crazy speed on small but thorny problems.One technical detail as an example: Pyramid's editor (one of the five games) uses a ~350KB precomputed dataset of valid frameworks — grids where a single vowel, dropped into every slot, produces valid English words across all rows. Building the dataset was the actual work (combinatorial search over a 60k-word dictionary with constraint checks) but I did that in one session. Runtime is trivial: pick a framework, pick a vowel, render. Works offline. Don't think I could spend the time on it before LLMs.The other four:- Fourbe — Connections-style, but the connections are spelled out in crossword-style clues across four rounds- Spying Bee — Word find flipped on it's head where players must reveal letters before they can select- Invertle — word guesser with higher/lower hints- Totum — letter-tile s

Show HN: Monkdev is a toolkit and methodology for coding with LLMshttps://github.com/oeo/monkdevI'm sure many people have some solutions similar to this but I've been using some variation of this since roughly the release of Opus 3 to get higher quality results. Like, significantly higher. So I decided to make it into a more structured package.Problem: bad decisions and short sighted solutions due to the LLM not having enough context before acting. They'd read one file, or a few segments of a set of files using a super conservative offset and limit, guess about the rest, apply a patch, run a unit test and then tell you with its entire chest that the code is production-ready.Those bandaids over time became debt, drift, complexity. Unnecessary LOC in a codebase where I find myself wondering is this thing even making me more efficient or should I be in VIM more often and just save myself the API costs (I use OpenCode + OpenRouter and have been known to blast through hundreds of dollars a day in spend using Frontier models).I found that, for whatever reason, LLMs respond to role-play

Is it too soon to built software factories?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48268815I keep hearing about “software factories” / background coding agents that can autonomously work on production repos. It seems like the capabilities are there, but not sure if we have the right tools yet.There are already some companies providing software for this like ona/factory/codex/claude/cursorOpen-source alternatives - https://github.com/ColeMurray/background-agentsBig companies like stripe/ramp/uber/spotify built their own background-agents infrastructureBut nothing seems to be mature enough to just work fine. Is it too soon?

Musk praises “epic” Super Heavy-Starship launchhttps://spaceflightnow.com/2026/05/23/musk-praises-epic-super-heavy-starship-launch/The Starship upper stage was equipped with six third-generation Raptor engines and one of three optimized for operating in vacuum shut down early during the climb to space. The flight computer kept the other five engines running longer than originally planned to make up for the shortfall, putting the craft on an acceptable sub-orbital trajectory.

Ask HN: Failing interviews for mid-level SWE in UK, advice pleasehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48226107I've a background mostly in ASP.NET full stack software development. I'm very hands on, like to tinker at different things and can learn fast.*Employment History*My employment history is like this: Placement year 2018, worked for the full term + summer, graduated 2020, did backend dev in Python at Company A for 7 months, then full stack ASP.NET at company B for 2.5 years, then co-founded my own company and was the sole developer on our software platform, did all the cloud infra in Azure too. That lasted for another 2.5 or so years. This gives me approx. 7 years of professional software development experience.In May 2025 the company wasn't in a strong financial position, and I started to hunt for jobs. We limped along while I polished it for a launch in September 2025. The site wasn't the success we were hoping. We closed it in February. Despite that, I did learn a lot and my web app development ability is much better as a result.*Job applications*Since May 2025, I've applied for almost
