CEO Tim Cook said in a recent interview that the situation is "unsustainable."

<p>Most software engineers I know use AI in some form now.</p> <p>Maybe it is for debugging, boilerplate, tests, docs, SQL queries, shell commands, or quick code reviews. Some use it daily. Some use it quietly. <em>Even the skeptical ones have probably pasted a confusing stack trace into a chat window once.</em></p> <p>So I do not think the interesting question is:</p> <p><strong><em>“Do engineers use AI?”</em></strong></p> <p>The better question is:</p> <p><strong><em>“Has AI changed how they e

Hi HN, I'm Kaushik, and I built Rocketgraph. I believe that while other spaces have caught up to the AI wave, the observability space is still lagging behind, using the same tools and dashboards that we use to analyse logs from human-written code. But now the code is written and debugged by AI, so we need to rethink how we do observability where the observer itself is an AI. The problem that I run into is when an alert fires, I have to manually check the Grafana dashboards and write LogQL querie

Hey HN — I'm Julius, cofounder of Righthand. We've been building AI employees (we call them "Righthands") that actually live inside your workflow instead of waiting for prompts. Each one has a name, email address and phone number + unified memory across all communication channels. They run in their own E2B sandboxes, with a filesystem and custom CLI. We built this because of anxiety. Everyone is anxious about something, especially at work, and we realized that a lot of the tasks people are anxio

This is a language server I've been working on for a while now, which warns the programmer (or agent) of low browser support for web features (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) right in your editor. You can also hover over almost all web features and get its support percentage and caniuse.com link. This project is handmade, no AI was used. Preview images & setup instructions found in the repo README. There are VS Code and Zed extensions. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48577931 Points: 1

Hey HN, I built Reyn - which I like to describe as "granola but for everything". You're probably thinking another screen capture AI tool (which is true). Same as always, the biggest question that comes up is privacy, so I'll talk about that first 1. raw screen data is never stored in the cloud 2. user controlled filters are granular to the point that you're able to configure specific apps, windows, websites, or even keywords to be discarded immediately (once again never leaving your mac) and nev

Hi HN, Tablething is a cross-platform, local-first database client built with Tauri. It currently connects to 13 data sources including Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, ElasticSearch, with more on the way. Everything runs locally - nothing is sent to our servers. There are optional AI features that you can use with your own API key and data is directly sent to the provider. I built it because I wanted a tool to save my queries, visualize the data from different sources and have agentic chat the way I wa

Building a context layer between enterprise data stores and AI agents is bespoke work, with no standard service to automate or maintain the graphs over time. Amazon is making a direct play to change that. Amazon on Wednesday entered the space, announcing a series of three products it's positioning as a context intelligence stack for AI agents. The centerpiece is AWS Context, a new knowledge graph service that gets smarter through agent usage over time. AWS also announced the general availability

Hey all, I've built a web app for practicing spoken conversations in a language you're learning. It was driven by my own needs when I learn Korean. The main functionality includes two modes: 1. Chat with AI — you pick a situation (ordering at a café, taking a taxi, checking into a hotel) and the AI plays the other role entirely in your target language. It stays in character, adapts to what you say, and you can fail as many times as you want with nobody watching. 2. Chat with Human — for real, in

Hello HN! I made an iPad app with my seven-year-old daughter to make learning spelling fun. https://spellabee.com/ We play Spelling Bee type games in our car rides, and she wanted to learn more words that way. So we built a simple app that teaches 10 words at a time, and lets the kids practice and master these 10 words. The full word list in the app is static, and it gets progressively harder as the kid goes through the levels. There are no AI features in the app. I do not collect emails inside
