Show HN: Claude Artifacts" but creating real web apps
18 by antonoo | 8 comments on Hacker News. Hey Hacker News! Launching gptengineer.app into beta today. It's like Claude Artifacts, but: - you can edit the code in your fav IDE (two-way github sync) - installs npm packages - automatically picks up build and runtime errors and fixes them - very fast, built with rust The full stack capabilities are built on supabase (prefer to not have to handle auth + user data at this point so this is owned by the user) The seed for this project was an open source experiment, posted about that previously here: https://ift.tt/JrGdtvO Would love feedback if you give it a try!
Show HN: Tree-sitter Integration for Swift
5 by daspoon | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have created a Swift package ( https://ift.tt/6XvGhWZ ) enabling tree-sitter parsers to be written in Swift; specifically, as an array of production rules which map symbol types to pairings of syntax expression and type constructor. A member macro derives a tree-sitter grammar and embeds the generated parser in its expansion. This project is a work in progress, and I will be grateful for any feedback. Thanks, Dave
Ask HN: How different is AWS/GCP/Azure in everyday work
17 by michal_kluczek | 13 comments on Hacker News. I've almost exclusively been working with GCP for years, with very few occasions when I've created some resources in AWS (I'm managing infra using terraform). When looking a job now, it's very common that I'm rejected before TI because I wasn't working with AWS. Is it really so fundamentally different from GCP or any other cloud provider for that matter? I have a wild feeling that 80-90% of the products all cloud providers offer are same toys but with different names and integrations mechanisms. There are surely some quirks that are exclusive for a specific cloud provider, but is it really that many to stifle your performance?
Show HN: Candix, a confidential, reverse recruiting platform
36 by tavoyne | 19 comments on Hacker News. It's a site where you describe your ideal next job and get approached by top-paying startups. It’s confidential, ensuring that your current employer won’t find out. It's free for candidates, while we charge companies for access to the pool. They’re charged a subscription fee, not a traditional success fee, because it’s the only way to remain forever candidate-centric and not obsessed with placing profiles at any cost, like agencies are. I'm opposed to the AI trends in recruitment. Recruitment is opaque and needs more humanity in the process, not less. Consequently, we're stubborn about keeping humans involved at every level, from onboarding to support. This results in high operational costs, which we are working hard to streamline. Confidentiality is what truly sets Candix apart. It's a tricky concept in recruitment, though, as it needs to be balanced with recruiters' need to know about your background to make hiring decisions. Our approach is to protect access to the pool with NDAs and limit profile visibility to relevant companies only. Additionally, we limit points of access to one per company and thoroughly monitor all recruiter activity on the site to prevent any leakage. For those who are not open to receiving offers, one interesting feature is the option to mark your profile as unavailable. Interested companies won’t reach out, but they will be able to place an alert on your profile to be notified when this changes, effectively boosting your future search. We operate in the US and European markets, helping people connect with over seventy companies, such as OpenAI and Ramp. What do you think about the tool and its positioning?
