Hi everyone, I built Nightshift: An agent-agnostic rust-cli tool that orchestrates completion of GitHub Issues. When Openai and Anthropic released /goal a couple months ago, I was really excited to try it for long-horizon tasks. But after using it, it didn't blow me away and i did some digging and found a major architectural flaw when using it for complex multi-issue workflows: context rot. This isn't anything new, but given how openai positioned this feature to developers, i was let down by how they'd implemented context management. Though goal/ is a step forward in long-horizon coding,…
Hey HN, I'm Bryan. I released Pragma Twice earlier this week in anticipation for Steam's "Programming Fest". Pragma Twice is a programming puzzle game in the same vein as Untrusted ( https://untrustedgame.com/ ). You have to write real JavaScript code to incrementally improve your playable character's "kernel" over the course of the game. Beating levels autonomously (without keyboard inputs) reveals a competitive time/code golf aspect to the game. I started developing Pragma Twice over 4 years ago after playing Untrusted and loving it. It took so long to develop because I'm not a full time ga…

I am a true believer in "throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks" ideology so I've built products for multiple marketplaces- Shopify, Notion, mondaydotcom & also SaaS. While AI coding made building faster, launching was my big problem. Marketplaces and launch platforms (Product hunt, appsumo etc) are a sea of products and it's really tough to pass them with average looking launch assets. I'm not a designer, nor do I find it sensible to pay for a monthly subscription when the launch is not a weekly thing (not yet atleast). So I kept facing this issue again and again when I'd spend h…

AI coding agents often generate functionally correct but insecure code. To address this issue, we have open-sourced Security Cards, targeted security guidance for 80+ widely used libraries across 13 programming languages.

You can find these security cards on GitHub ( https://github.com/Reware-Labs/securitycards ) or on our website ( https://securitycards.rewarelabs.com/ ) We are planning to constantly support more languages and libraries, and we’d be glad to…

What’s worse, I found I could use my own agents to find the exploit just by knowing roughly what it was about and so could have been exploiting it well before the public patch was available! Given that just the rumour of a security issue seems enough to give attackers enough info to find new exploits, we’re going to need to change the way we deal with security responses in open source.
