Ask HN: How has your company adapted interviews in the AI world? Comments: formal-methods people get called first; others emphasize reading code live, asking for optimizations, spotting flaws in AI-generated code.
We found ourselves frequently switching between different coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) anytime we ran out of usage limits or a newer model came out. We became increasingly frustrated with having to re-explain our tasks, workflows, common mistake patterns, etc. anytime we switched agents.
I'm trying to incorporate AI code tools into my flow, but my issue is that I spend a lot of time code reviewing AI. I wanted to find an AI tool that helps me code review better — look at a diff and present it to me in a way that makes it easy to understand.
A €2 Union handling fee is scheduled to apply from November 1… separate from the temporary €3 customs duty that began on July 1.
I maintain a set of REST microservices (Go and Node.js, in Docker on Linux) and our API regression suite is mostly hand-written Postman collections. Keeping them updated takes too much time, and our mocks for downstream services drift from real behaviour.
I've a few services that currently use a chat service and a CLI client to generically send notifications from various apps. I'd like something similar without being tied to a chat client — just native web browsers. Something self-hosted, running behind nginx.
Every run needs a fixed, checkable permission profile: file tools only, no hooks/MCP/plugins.
In August 2026, Google Search rolled out tracking passthrough URLs formatted as google.com/goto, replacing real URLs on hover. Is there a way to skip the redirect?
I play guitar at folk clubs and camps. The problem is 'knowing what you know'. Back in the 2000s I came up with a list view with 2 lines per entry in Access 97: title and key on the first line, lyric snippet on the second. Modern database front-ends only give one line.
We are considering using Zoho People for HR management, attendance, leave, overtime, and employee records for a company in Egypt. The main issue is that Zoho Payroll is not available in Egypt. We mainly need a reliable monthly payroll output: salary, attendance deductions, unpaid leave, overtime, penalties, bonuses, and net payable.
Why are small Canadian businesses being asked to upgrade to a much more expensive plan just to recover newly imposed tariff costs?
We are a subsidiary and copy via ODBC part of a big database from our parent company onto our own servers. The old software we are using is at the end of its life-cycle; it was never the best and we built a lot of workarounds within and around it.
We also build Shopify apps around some of the common challenges merchants face… What is one Shopify task you wish you could automate?
Functionally, Cursor is doing a good job… The problem is visual design. No matter how detailed I make the prompt.
I manage a single Linux VPS (Ubuntu) and I am currently juggling several separate tools: SSH to run commands, upload/download over SFTP, and manage MySQL and PostgreSQL (queries, browsing tables, quick backups).
Things like changing the size or variant, adding another item, fixing the shipping address, or changing the quantity.
The workflow runs green, no errors, execution shows — and nothing actually happened. I've debugged a dozen of these.

I'm in a Facebook group that has posted trivia since 2015 and want to catalogue every post. Problem 1: group search omits posts. Problem 2: scrolling crashes around 2022.

I find myself switching between ChatGPT voice mode on my phone and Codex a lot to copy and paste requirements I've brainstormed.
I don't want a whitespace change to replace the whole line, and commenting a line shouldn't count as a rewrite either — so I can track the code that actually stayed the same.

A card testing bot attack is generating hundreds of fraudulent abandoned checkouts… No way to remove them.
Local Python project, every file has docstrings. Is there a tool to generate static HTML docs from them? Sphinx seems like overkill.

I have a large body of optical media (CDs, DVDs, BDs) to archive — a mixed, aging collection where data integrity and reproducibility matter more than speed.
I want to install a closed-source audio player but worry about malware — install it in a containerized environment I can wipe cleanly.
I want only a single transit route in Google Maps instead of three alternatives at once. Driving/walking routes can be pinned via waypoints; transit can't, and the share-link trick no longer works.
Converting German text to speech, even OpenAI and ElevenLabs make lots of mistakes — '74000€' and '1.' come out garbled, so users hand-rewrite the text.
Several videos share a static corner watermark; I need bulk removal. Tools I tried are either per-file slow or visibly degrade quality.
I'm working on an embedded C project with a complicated network of structures, pointers and 'objects' — part legacy, part written by someone else. I want to understand the codebase's structure.
Our current policy is that the usage of AI is okay as long as you validate the response… I want to create a rule.

Share ideas like clearer documentation, detailed logging and better error diagnostics, expanded token limits…
I'm new to the business and looking for a free auto-parts management app that covers inventory and invoice issuance.
I patch a third-party site's JS via DevTools → Source → Overrides. Works, but next visit it's inert until I open DevTools again — and the JS lives in webpack chunks, so swapping it isn't easy.
I get spam Gmail doesn't detect; they all share one trait — I'm bcc'ed and not a visible recipient. Can I filter mail where I'm bcc'ed?
Why there is no P2P protocol for mass live stream content in decent quality?… i cant find anything.

Wiktionary lacks printed-dictionary-style 'nearby words' — handy when you half-remember a spelling or want same-family words.

Think google comments connected to Inspect Element in chrome that can be shared with an organization.
