Ask HN: Do you know of any company that went back to hand-written code?

This is intended as a question about the current phase of the LLM hype cycle, and, at the same time, as a reality check about whether reluctance to rely on LLMs is economically viable for an average developer. You've definitely seen that many companies progressed from "use LLMs for anything and everything" policies to limiting budgets and scopes of approved LLM usage. It wouldn't be unexpected to see that some companies might decide that generating more code faster doesn't meaningfully contribut...

I Built a Windows Security Suite That Doesn't Need Your Account

What if a security application didn't need your email? No account. No cloud dashboard. No telemetry. No subscription. Just a Windows executable running locally on your machine. That's the philosophy behind ATLOCK v4, a Windows security suite I've been building as a solo developer. πŸ‘‰ Try ATLOCK v4: [ https://akhouri-anmol-kumar.github.io/Akhouri-systems/ ] Why local-first? Security software has an interesting paradox. You install software to protect your machine... ...

My container diagram had three boxes. The actual pipeline had seven hops.

Three boxes. That's what our C4 container diagram showed for the EPCIS batch upload flow in ALSC. Upload API. Processing Service. Notification Service. Clean. Presentable. Wrong in the way that actually costs you time during an incident. Here's what one upload really does. A user drops an EPCIS batch file in the browser. That request lands on a Node.js Function. The Function writes the file to blob storage and drops a message on Service Bus. A .NET Function picks that up, does its work, and h...

Transformer Architecture Basics

Unlocking the Magic: A Deep Dive into Transformer Architecture Basics Ever felt like the world's information is a giant, jumbled puzzle, and you're struggling to piece it all together? Well, imagine having a super-smart assistant that can not only understand the words but also the subtle relationships between them, even across vast distances in a sentence or document. That's the magic that Transformer architectures bring to the table, and in the realm of Artificial Intelligence, they've been...

Daily Dose of DevOps β€” What is CI/CD and why it matters

CI/CD as a Control System: From Commit Entropy to Production Evidence CI/CD is often reduced to automation, but its deeper purpose is epistemic: it converts uncertain changes into evidence about whether a system remains safe to operate. A pipeline is a feedback controller. Source changes are disturbances; tests, policy checks, and telemetry are sensors; deployment strategies are actuators; service-level objectives define acceptable operating bounds. The control loop Continuou...

Day 173 of Learning MERN Stack

Hello Dev Community! πŸ‘‹ It is officially Day 173 of my full-stack engineering track!

I built the same automation in n8n, Make, and Zapier. One died on the free tier.

I built the same automation in n8n, Make, and Zapier. One died on the free tier. Most "n8n vs Make vs Zapier" comparisons end at the pricing page. A screenshot of the plan tiers, a table of operations per month, maybe a line about which one has the most integrations. None of that tells you what happens when you actually run a real job through each tool. So for EP02 I did the slow, honest version. I built the exact same automation three times, once per platform, with a stopwatch running on ea...

Agentic AI for Production Support: Moving from Alerts to Intelligent Incident Resolution

Agentic AI for Production Support: Moving from Alerts to Intelligent Incident Resolution Production support today is still highly dependent on engineers. An alert comes in β†’ engineer checks logs β†’ searches previous incidents β†’ identifies possible RCA β†’ validates the solution β†’ takes action. While working on this problem, I started exploring a simple question: Can Agentic AI reduce this dependency without giving AI uncontrolled access to production? This is the idea behind my A...

I Built a Production E-commerce System β€” Here’s What I Learned

E-commerce projects at first glance look simple β€” search products, add them to a cart, checkout, complete the payment, done. I thought the same. I recently built an e-commerce system, and it started with the simple problems we all know. But when I started questioning how the actual system works in production, I learned so many things that I think you would find helpful. Why an e-commerce project? Most of us think of an e-commerce project as a beginner project and categorize it...

ReClaim β€” Scalable, Campus-Centric Property Recovery via High-Dimensional Visual Search

Lost-and-found systems on campuses are difficult to scale. Lost items are usually described with vague text, while found items often sit in administrative offices with little to no structured metadata. ReClaim tackles this problem by turning lost-and-found into a computer-vision-powered visual search system built specifically for campus communities. Instead of relying solely on descriptions like "black water bottle lost near the library," users can upload photos of an item and let an...

Your Coding Agent's Supply Chain Is a Mess. Here's How to Harden It.

In March, a backdoored version of LiteLLM sat on PyPI for about three hours. It got downloaded roughly 47,000 times in that window. If you don't know LiteLLM, check your lockfile. It's the model gateway underneath CrewAI, DSPy, Microsoft GraphRAG, and a pile of other agent frameworks. There's a decent chance it's in your dependency tree without you ever having typed pip install litellm. Anyone who pulled an update during those three hours also pulled in an autonomous attack bot. I want to ...
