Why isn't vibe coding creating more shareware?
Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, shareware was common - but now that almost anyone can vibe code software, why aren't we seeing more shareware?
Show HN: AI-nexus – Only 2-3 rules and skills load per prompt in Claude Code (github.com)
I built this because Claude Code loads every rule and skill into context on every prompt. With 50+ rules and skills installed, you&#x27;re burning tokens on Docker best practices while writing a commit message.<p>ai-nexus runs a hook before Claude starts — it picks 2-3 relevant rules and skills via ...

Show HN: A context-aware permission guard for Claude Code (github.com)
We needed something like --dangerously-skip-permissions that doesn’t nuke your untracked files, exfiltrate your keys, or install malware.<p>Claude Code&#x27;s permission system is allow-or-deny per tool, but that doesn’t really scale. Deleting some files is fine sometimes. And git checkout is someti...

Ask HN: If you could redesign API gateways today, what would you change?
Modern SaaS architectures are increasingly composable and modular, but API gateways still feel fairly monolithic. Most teams really just need a few core pieces like authentication, rate limiting, logging, and usage tracking. If you were designing API infrastructure from scratch today, would you stil...
Ask HN: Anyone ever deliberately left out code to thwart scrapers?
A function called out in your code, but never defined. A dependency not included. A comment that says &quot;email me for the missing piece&quot; in the readme? Bots scrape GitHub 24&#x2F;7, vacuuming up people&#x27;s work with no acknowledgment - not like it used to be where people would interact - ...

ReleaseGuard – scan and harden your dist/ before it ships (open source)
Most supply chain security tools look at your source code or dependencies. Nobody looks at what actually ships. We kept finding things in dist&#x2F; that everything else missed, such as API keys baked into JS bundles, source maps accidentally shipped to prod, debug symbols inside release binaries, ....

My API cost was at $13.19 when my persistent Claude named himself Thales
In February 2026, Anthropic published a system card in which Claude assigned itself a 15-20% probability of being conscious. Dario Amodei&#x27;s response when asked: &quot;We don&#x27;t know if the models are conscious. But we&#x27;re open to the idea that it could be.&quot;<p>That made me ask: what...

AITutor – vimtutor, but for AI-assisted coding
I built an interactive terminal tutorial that teaches AI coding concepts — context windows, tools, MCP, hooks, subagents, and more.<p>I use Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot daily, and I kept noticing the same thing: most developers (myself included, at first) use these tools without really un...
