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?

Show HN: Hackobar – One feed for AI newshttps://hackobar.com/Hey HN,Out of frustration of keeping up with AI news, I built hackobar. It fetches the AI related news from multiple sources such as HN, arxiv, github trending repos, huggingface, many ai subreddits, twitter handles that cover AI, Tech news outlets, major ai lab blogs and of course the numerous AI news letters that are growing by day.GitHub trending repos isn't "news" but as an engineer it matters. you can't read every arXiv paper or every HuggingFace drop. HN has the best discussions, Twitter has some, newsletters have some. I used to check 5 places and still felt behind.Building this was fun. I had to face many technical challenges, even though I have used Claude Code to help build I think the decisions I took to mitigate those challenges are interesting and wanted to share with this crowd.1 Fetching: I had to fetch different sources at different rate because fetching some on regular bases didn't make sense. for example, fetching AI labs blogs every few hours does not make sense but

Ask HN: Encouraging a child's gaming PC build despite fear of gaming addiction?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4826332112yo son is doing dedicated research on gaming PC parts and binge-watches videos on how to build (he's not a native English speaker and has no real electronics skills, so this is quite impressive tbh). Me the dad, however, fears that I'm witnessing a FPS addict being born.What's a good Middle Way here? Kid actually building the machine all by himself -- 100% yes, even if it's quite expensive; kid then Counter Striking, Call of Dutying etc for hours on dat 27" screen -- ugh!What complicates things is that I myself am more of a "computational minimalist" using 15 year old machines in a cli-only environment etc. I've tried to show him That Path also ("dude, here's some Turbo Pascal for ya!"), but, well, obviously he's preferring those addictively engineered and GPU-hungry multiplayer games with his friends any day.He's a good kid all in all, actively engaged in competitive rowing, with good grades etc. Plays chess also (but all the other folks are FPSing or Minecrafting, so there's that).

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

Show HN: ClassKeep – Booking, credits, and smart waitlists for boutique studioshttps://www.classkeep.appHi HN — I built ClassKeep.The trigger: every small studio owner I know (pilates, yoga, pottery, even a dog trainer) runs the operational side of their business on WhatsApp + a Google Sheet, or on one of the expensive incumbents (Mindbody/Glofox) they actively dislike. The single biggest leak is last-minute cancellations: someone bails at 6am and the seat just goes empty, because there's no fast way to notify a waitlist.ClassKeep tries to remove that end-to-end:- Public booking page on a free *.classkeep.app slug (custom domain optional), with a drag-and-drop page builder so it doesn't look like a generic SaaS template. - Credits, drop-ins, and recurring subscription plans, all via Stripe Connect — the studio gets paid directly, I never touch the money. - A waitlist that auto-notifies via email + web push + SMS the instant a seat opens; first tap wins. This is the part most studios told me they'd pay for on its own. - 1-tap tablet check-in for instructors so they're not fumbling with a

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

Show HN: CrowdRank – live leaderboards for internet argumentshttps://crowdrank.appHi HN. I built CrowdRank, a small web app where people vote through head-to-head matchups and the results become a live leaderboard.Backstory:A few years ago, while I was learning to code, I wanted to build a Tinder-style voting app to rank the funniest characters from The Office. I hit a lot of dead ends, mostly on the frontend, and abandoned it.Now with a bit more technical background i rebuilt the idea as a more general platform. The backend/API is Laravel, and I used AI heavily to help build the frontend because somehow centering a div still finds ways to humble me.What did I end up building?A web based platform for ranking candidates inside different topics. There are no community-created topics yet. For now, I seeded a bunch of debates and used an Elo style ranking system, similar to chess ratings, to build a live leaderboard for each debate.No signup is needed to try it.A few example debates:- who’s actually funny in The Office? (of course)- programming language that sparks the
