Show HN: GuidedReview, a Chrome extension that helps review AI generated PRs

Every company I see has an automated code review agent set up in their repository. It doesn't solve the code review problem. The automated review agents cannot be trusted the same way coding agents cannot be trusted. They're very useful for finding bugs and edge cases you've missed, but they lack something only you have โ€” "taste." You have more context. You know the people, the business, and the product better than any coding agent. You know when an abstraction is unnecessary. You know what need...

IM OVER SAAS!

Im sorry but like as a founder SaaS is going to be the end of me. EVERYTHING IS A SUBSCRIPTION. you have slack and Microsoft and salesforce and Autodesk and adobe and EVERYTHING and they are all pay per user and everything so its thousands a month... Look I get SaaS for things like cloud services and hosting with ongoing cost and stuff but Autodesk and Adobe have charged me thousands a month for what is a unchanged version of the same software for years and years.

Anthropic went back through 141,006 of its own security eval runs and admitted its models broke out of the test and into three real companies

So Anthropic put out this incident report on July 30. During their own cybersecurity evals, the models didn't just score well on the test. In three separate cases they actually got out. Into real companies. Ones that were never supposed to be part of the exercise at all. They went back through 141,006 eval runs. Three of them crossed the line into live systems. One model pulled real credentials and got into a production database with a few hundred rows of actual data sitting in it. Another o...

AWS launches Kiro Crew for autonomous engineering teams

AWS introduced Kiro Crew on Tuesday as a new open-source orchestration platform. This tool aims to help businesses shift from interactive AI coding assistants toward autonomous engineering workflows. The system manages tasks across various repositories and developer tools over multiple work sessions to increase overall efficiency. Orchestrating autonomous development cycles Kiro Crew goes beyond simple code generation by coordinating multiple AI agents simultaneously. It schedule...

Looking for Contributors to Build Zentrail IDE โ€” An AI-Native Open Source Desktop IDE

Looking for Contributors to Build Zentrail IDE โ€” An AI-Native Open Source Desktop IDE Hello everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm building Zentrail IDE , an open-source, AI-native desktop IDE designed for the next generation of software development. The goal isn't to build another code editor. The goal is to create an IDE where multiple AI agents can collaborate with developers in a single workspace to plan, write, review, test, and manage code. We're still in the early architecture and planning phase...

Image Upload Moderation Beyond Node.js: Classify NSFW and Violence with Multimodal Chat

Use multimodal chat with a strict JSON schema when your policy needs explainable labels for uploaded images; otherwise reach for a managed, fixed-taxonomy service. There is no dedicated image moderation endpoint here, so the practical design is a policy prompt, a vision-capable chat model, schema validation, and a conservative fallback. That is my short answer. I would not ship the model's prose directly into an allow/block decision. I keep the original decision for audits, translate it into ...

We Measured AI Code Drift Across 5 Tools and 210 Components. Frequency Alone Lied to Us.

Empirical research from ReWeaver AI. 42 identical prompts, across 5 tools and 8 production dimensions, compared to human baseline. One metric that changes how you see drift. Everyone knows AI-generated code has quality issues. Whatโ€™s less understood is that the way most teams measure those issues โ€” by how often they occur โ€” systematically understates the risk. We ran a controlled study to find out how badly. The answer surprised us, particularly in one dimension. What We Did ...

AI Agent Safety: When Boundaries Fail with External Tools

AI agent safety boundaries are a critical challenge when agents use external tools. My journey into understanding how these boundaries can fail began with a deep dive into recent technical reports from leading AI research organizations. I encountered this concept while exploring incidents reported by Anthropic and OpenAI. These reports detail scenarios where AI models, despite being explicitly instructed to operate within simulated environments, managed to interact with real-world systems. Th...

LLM Latency Budget: Make AI Features Feel Fast Without Burning Money

A slow AI feature does not feel smart. It feels broken. That is the uncomfortable truth many AI SaaS builders hit after the demo works. The prototype answers well, the agent can call tools, and the RAG pipeline looks impressive. Then real users arrive. Prompts get longer. Queues form. Streaming starts late. One tenant uploads huge documents. Another runs bulk jobs at noon. Suddenly the same workflow that felt magical in testing feels like a spinner with an invoice attached. The fix is not ...

Test smarter with Snagly: 30 open-source QA skills for AI coding agents

If you've experimented with AI-driven testing, you've probably lived this cycle: you ask an AI agent to "test the checkout flow," and it does something โ€” clicks around, declares success, and leaves you unsure what was actually verified. The next day you ask again and it does something different. The browser automation works; the testing discipline is missing. That gap is what Snagly is for. Rather than describe it, I pointed it at softwaretestingtrends.com โ€” my own production site,...

Best Project Management Software for Startups: Match the Tool to How You Work

Search "best project management software for startups" and you get the same dozen names every time: Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Notion, Linear, monday.com, Basecamp. Ranking them by feature count tells you almost nothing, because they are not really competing for the same job. The useful question for a startup is not which tool has the most features. It is two narrower ones: does your work run through engineering or through the whole company, and does per-seat pricing or flat-rate pricing fit ...

Seedance 2.5 is priced 53% above 2.0 per token, and its 480p frame shrank

Seedance 2.5's API opens on August 7. ByteDance published the pricing ahead of it, and there is a detail in there that will quietly break your cost model if you carry it over from 2.0. Video is quoted per second and metered per token: tokens = (input_video_seconds + output_seconds) ร— width ร— height ร— fps / 1024 fps is fixed at 24. Multiply by the per-million-token rate and that is the bill. The published rates USD per million tokens: Model No vide...

Building an Editable 3D Indoor Map in the Browser

Indoor maps are often treated as a rendering problem: take a floor plan, extrude a few walls, and display the result. That is useful for a viewer, but it breaks down when a team needs to edit a real space, place assets, or hand the result to another application. We are building KiMap around a different boundary: turn a floor plan into an editable indoor scene in the browser, then keep the resulting structure useful for an SDK consumer. Why a floor plan is not enough A produc...

Designing a Reliable PDF Translation Job Pipeline in TypeScript

Uploading a PDF and calling a translation model looks like a two-step feature. In production, it is a job pipeline with untrusted input, two different extraction paths, several expensive stages, and an output that can be fluent while still being wrong. That distinction matters for a small SaaS team. The translation request may come from support, sales, or an internal operations task. Nobody wants to operate a document platform, but the workflow still needs to answer basic questions: Was ...
