Ask HN: What skills has AI taught you?

I'm curious if people here used or are using AI to teach them new skills, or maybe entire subjects? Do you use AI to understand research papers? Do you use it as your private tutor, as a substitute for taking traditional classes? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49931346 Points: 1 # Comments: 2

I Built an AI Learning Companion for People Who Want to Learn by Building

For the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend , I wanted to build something that wasn't just another AI demo. I wanted to build something that could actually help someone learn. So I built AIBuddies . 👉 Live: https://ajay-dhangar.github.io/ai-buddies/ 👉 Source: https://github.com/ajay-dhangar/ai-buddies AIBuddies is an open-source AI learning companion that brings together learning paths, practical projects, interactive demos, and community-driven resourc...

I let an AI agent run my side project's growth loop: intent.md, CI gates and metric bands

I'm a digital tutor at a middle school in Korea. A while ago I got tired of emailing myself files just to move a photo from my phone to a classroom PC, so I built a small web app with Claude Code: Clipboard Share . Open it on two devices on the same Wi-Fi and they find each other. No code to type, no sign-up, no app install. Building it was the fun part. Getting anyone to use it was not. Usage had been sliding for three weeks, and every "growth" task (checking Search Console, tweaking a titl...

A bulk export still needs per-row authorization

Export and “download all” endpoints are where object-level checks quietly disappear. The UI shows a filtered table, but the export handler often runs a privileged query, streams every matching id, and trusts that the list page already did the hard part. If any row in that stream would 404 or 403 on the single-resource path, the export just became a bulk BOLA. Patterns that hold up: Authorize the action (can this subject export this collection?) and then constrain the query with the ...

OpenAI hack by Claude, ZCode's git upload: week 38 in tech, ranked

Week 38 of 2026 had the OpenAI hack, a Claude-written exploit that got three researchers into OpenAI's internal GitHub, a coding agent that uploaded users' git history, and a Microsoft memo calling AI training "the largest theft of labor in human history". Here are September 14 to 18, seven stories ranked by how much each changes your Monday as a developer, with what happened after each episode and the stamp it gets now. TL;DR: week 38, ranked # Story Stamp n...

Weekly Dev Log 2026-W20

🗓️ This Week It’s been two weeks since my last update . I had a long break of about five days, and here in Japan, it’s really starting to feel like autumn🍂. This time of year is perfect for picnics, so it’s been nice to enjoy the cooler weather. I also planted some lavender seeds with my kids that we received at a local event, and they’ve just started to sprout recently🌱. It’s been fun checking on them together and watching them grow little by little. This week, I finally started...
