Ask HN: Are functional programmers more upset about how good AI is at coding?

One might expect this since functional programmers pride themselves on the elegance of their code while programmers using hybrid languages just want to get the code working — elegance of the implementation is not that important to them.

Built a tiny AI sidehustle stack for under 30 bucks a month and now I am scared it actually works

I run a small digital tools consultancy between shifts at the cafe. Mostly I help solo creators glue together cheap SaaS stuff. A few months back I threw together my own workflow - some scraper I found on GitHub, a cheap Claude subscription, a nocode database, all held together with Zapier duct tape. Total monthly burn is like 27 dollars. It now handles client onboarding, drafts my proposals, and spits out pretty decent competitor teardowns. I have done maybe four hours of handson work this we...

Reddit is rolling out AI moderators for new communities, how long until every subreddit has one?

I’ve been posting about AI-related stuff for a while now and honestly, the more I see it being pushed everywhere, the more I think we need proper regulation around it. Not just “hey, we have AI now, let’s put it into everything”. And now Reddit is going down that road too. Like... seriously, wtf is going on? I get that moderation is a pain and AI can probably help with some of it. But this is always how it starts. First it’s there to “assist” people, then little by little it ends up maki...

Why is there no “App Store” for independent AI agents yet?

One thing that surprised me is that the barrier to entry is dropping much faster than I expected. There are now plenty of "vibe coding" or low-code platforms that let you connect models, tools, memory, and workflows without writing a huge amount of code. Almost anyone can build a useful agent. But then another question came up. if I build a killer agent that automates a complex workflow? Now what? How do people discover it? How do I deploy it without maintaining a bunch of infra...

Show HN: YC Startup School, but AI-Native

Hi HN, YC Startup School is a great resource and was part of the inspiration. But I think right now, much of the startup education model became capable of actually working alongside a founder with AI agents. So I'm experimenting with what an AI-native version of Startup School. I'm looking for early users who are willing to try it and give me brutally useful feedback. At Foundera, our AI Agents can help you research a problem, challenge assumptions around an idea, validate the market, define mil...
