Those looking for the two tools:

"Git and email are the two really only tools I use"

"I'm not a programmer, I'm a development lead"

Add yourself to the 'who wants to be hired' thread on https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring There's already 500 comments but that's the way to get any attention. Users don't upvote individual posts.

I used to run a user script to hide karma numbers. [update: thanks Bender, since I run uBlock Origin I added a filter for karma again just now]

If your work isn't ready for users to try out, please don't do a Show HN. Once it's ready, come back and do it then. Don't post landing pages or fundraisers. (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html) I can't find the domain on producthunt.com

The FAQ explains how to create them. They rarely get enough traction (upvotes). I see 5 users gave an answer plus 3 comments but nobody upvoted the poll itself yet.

Booo for not waiting for the developer's response. It hasn't even been 24 hours. It's not even July/4th in Europe yet.

Posting it online the same day, then posting on HN to promote it isn't good faith.

The author is a macro economy writer with a 10 years old Twitter account. Most of the article is a quote, then his personal opinion. https://mishtalk.com/about/ I'm all for calling out automated content written by AI/LLM but this one doesn't seem to be.

My last customer service call was fast (connection time) and friendly. The person wasn't sure so she said "let me ask my colleague $female-first-name" and I heard her typing. "Is $female-first-name an AI chat bot?" Yes, it was, and then she read out a whole answer, an excerpt that's already on the website. In this case the person added little extra value and I guess will be replaced soon.

It already has too many features and the author keeps adding more. Timers, notifications, additional notifications to tell me about new features he added. It (the sandboxes in soloterm) don't work well with my virtual machines, I'm sure it's my setup, in general sandboxes are good approach. All seems geared towards coding 24/7 and multiple agents on the same code base. Meanwhile even if code in parallel it's usually separate projects, separate languages. I can imagine you don't want to hear "less features" and look for more features to add instead.

One step back might be to figure out of the target use has dozens worktrees. I never used worktrees for example

soloterm.com is based on Tauri and uses less memory. It might not be your bottleneck but memory usage adds up with many projects and virtual machine. Not everybody wants to run their virtual machines in the cloud.
