Spacelift | Remote (Europe) | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80k-$110k+ (can go higher)

We're a VC-funded startup building an infrastructure orchestrator and collaborative management platform for Infrastructure-as-Code – from OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Kubernetes, to Ansible.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and have a lot of happy and satisfied customers. We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours.

If that sounds like fun to you, please apply at https://careers.spacelift.io/jobs/3006934-software-engineer-...

You can find out more about the product we're building at https://spacelift.io and also see our engineering blog for a few technical blog posts of ours: https://spacelift.io/blog/engineering

Additionally, we're hiring for a new product we're building, Flows[0] (first time posting this publicly, actually!). Mostly the same requirements and tech stack, without the devops bits. If you'd like to apply specifically for that, just mention "new product" in the cover letter field.

> Who are the third party distributors for the playstation or xbox?

Plenty. The retail Xbox has supported sideloading for almost a decade now: https://www.howtogeek.com/703443/how-to-put-your-xbox-series...

Nintendo Switch has fully distributed homebrew stores too.

> It's $100/developer.

They can charge more if they don't think they're milking developers enough. They only have, what, a few million of them worldwide.

> What's wrong with royalty fee based business models?

Nothing, if they are forced to compete with other royalty-based services that set a fair baseline price. Otherwise everything is wrong with it. MacOS did this right, although admittedly the App Store didn't quite survive the gauntlet of competition.

Imagine if your favorite band could only make money by signing to a single record label. Do you think their talent would be valued fairly? Do you think they would be respected for who they are, or do you think their likeness would be molested in whichever way was the most profitable for the label?

Looks interesting.

I wonder how it compares to/could be used in conjunction with mise, which has (deservedly) gotten a lot of attention recently. Their backends (https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/backends/) feature is very helpful, but it seems like Soar might be a step even further to simplifying installing tools without even needing to install go, rust etc backends.

Deyan7 | Full Stack AI Engineer | Bochum, Cologne, Mainz, Germany | Remote possible | Full Time

We are Deyan7. We build leading AI solutions.

Join our tech-savvy team and create solutions for generative AI and ChatGPT. We have implemented projects in areas such as fire protection, tax law, education, and medical devices using the latest language models. We develop AI co-pilots for engineers, AI coaches for schoolchildren, and suggestion systems for technical writers. We draw on decades of experience in software development for German global leaders. We see the potential of the technology, are curious about the next developments, and proud of what we are building.

As a Full Stack AI Engineer, you ideally should have fun to: - experiment with genAI, LLMs and different retrieval technologies - build suiting Frontends - build Backends that bridge the gap between Frontend and the ML parts.

You will be working closely with other devs and our customers, with the possibility to actively influence the direction of the project and to introduce new technology or approaches. Your project increment will always be working software that is really used and needed. Here´s the catch: our customers are mostly German, hence the data is primarily German and therefore the output of our LLM inferences is German. So, be ready to use German at a C1 level at least! Additionally, our working setup is currently not capable of handling any other time offsets than +- 3 hours from our local time (CET/CEST).

Here is our job description: https://deyan7.de/full-stack-ai-engineer-softwareentwickler-... Drop us a line and make the world more productive with us!

Location: Iowa, USA Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No (\* yes for amazing opportunity) Technologies: C#, TypeScript/JS, Python, Ruby, Azure, relational and document DBs, DevOps,... Resume/CV: 20+ years engineering, 8+ of those in management roles. Contact for resume. Email: matt.schouten@gmail.com

I’m a full-stack developer with a preference for backend. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked in everything from avionics to WordPress to heavy GIS data processing. I love solving complex problems (make them as simple as possible, but no simpler), designing for scalability and sustainability, and mentoring engineers.

I’m a builder and coach at heart, and will happily build software, do product development, architect systems, or step into a leadership / management role. That said, you don’t want me to be your interface designer, but I can implement someone else’s design just fine.

It seems I do my best work as a strong #2, supporting a leader that values ideas and feedback, whether in a management or IC role. (Working Geniuses: invention and enablement. Working Frustrations: galvanizing and tenacity)

Depends by how much they're smarter, and in which ways.

As a trivial example, a century ago "can do arithmetic" was a signifier of being smart, yet if the entire human population today were all as fast as the current world record holder and on the same team, we would be defeated by one Raspberry Pi.

Easy to measure, but also very limited sense of "smart".

A Pi can also run Stockfish, so in that also-limited sense of "smart", it still beats humans. And chess inspires the wider use of Elo ratings in AI arenas, which means we can usefully assign scores to different AI that all beat the best humans.

For now, it's possible to point to things humans are (collectively) able to do better than AI — I originally wrote "very, very easy" rather than "possible", but then remembered noticing that whenever anyone actually tries to do so here on Hacker News, they're out of date already and there's is an AI which can do that thing superhumanly well (either that or they overstate what humans can do, e.g. claiming we can beat the halting problem); actual research papers with experiments generally do better when it comes to listing AI failure modes, including when the research comes from an AI lab showing off their new AI.

> This should be the standard business model on the web, instead of the advertising middlemen that have corrupted all our media, and the adtech that exploits our data in perpetuity.

People with content will still want to maximize their money. You'll get all the same bullshit dark patterns on sites supported by microtransactions as you will ad supported. Stories will be split up into multiple individual pages, each requiring a microtransaction. Even getting past a landing page will require multiple click throughs each with another transaction. There will also be nothing preventing sites from bait and switch schemes where the link exposed to crawlers doesn't contain the expected content.

Without extensive support for micro-refunds and micro-customer service and micro-consumer protections, microtransactions on the web will most likely lead to more abusive bullshit. Automated integrations with browsers will be exploited.

I think Superhuman's CEO in an interview said their product is specifically catered to people who are seeking inbox zero.

For those people this would be a great outcome. The question is should this be the goal of most people? Probably not. But most people are not their ideal customer. They explained their ideal customer in depth in an episode of the Acquired Podcast.

I agree with you, but the trade off is real for most people. It's unfortunately a binary choice: 'privacy ⊕ social community', instead of 'privacy & social' community.

It's interesting how opensource Zulip[1] hasn't been able to garner as much of a following or usage amongst the gamer crowd compared to Discord.

Yes, I also think the whole word should program in English.

That's half tongue in cheek. I am fluent in three languages, but I program "in English" and I greatly appreciate that my colleagues who are fluent in languages other than the ones I'm fluent in (except English) also do. Basically English is the world's lingua franca today. Nonetheless if a company in France wants to use French for their symbol names, or a company in Mexico wants to use Spanish for their symbol names, or a company in China wants to use Chinese for their symbol names, who am I to stop them?! Surely it's not my place.

> Worth noting though that it's really just "document-ware" -- there's no code there

That's not true. That project is a monorepo, with reference client and middleware implementations in TypeScript, Python, Java, and Go. See their respective subdirectories. There's also a 3rd-party Rust implementation[1].

You can also try out their demo at [2]. So it's a fully working project.

One skill I believe will take the longest to be replaced by AI is interdisciplinary problem solving that involves empathy, ambiguity, and context-shifting across real-world domains.

What makes this hard for AI isn't just the "thinking" part—LLMs are already impressive there. It's the judgment required to navigate situations where data is sparse, stakes are high, and the path forward involves reconciling trade-offs between humans, systems, and unpredictable environments. Think of a doctor diagnosing a rare condition while calming an anxious patient, or a civil engineer weighing community concerns during an infrastructure redesign.

Another safe haven for now is the ability to guide and control AI. People who deeply understand the limitations of AI systems—and can design governance, oversight, and fallback processes—are going to be essential as AI becomes more embedded in critical decision-making.

I’m currently working on a side project called “AI Chat Co-Pilot” that flags architectural dependencies and offers deployment guidance based on company-specific code analysis. One of the key things I’ve realized is how much human context and judgment still matters in deciding what not to automate. So maybe the safest skill isn't technical or creative alone, but knowing when to lean on AI—and when not to.

Curious to hear what others think are the underrated "sticky" skills that AI will have a hard time swallowing.

I think I only started to really hate it when I had to deal with some Python code where people decided to nest them and made a really hard to read mess where they should have used just a normal if-else chain. A Rust style if-expression would be better IMO, but it was Python code.

On a more basic level, I just don't see any good reason to put the condition in the middle.

Lisp: `(if <cond> <then> <else>)` Haskell: `if <cond> then <then> else <else>` Rust: `if <cond> { <then> } else { <else> }`

All the above read fine and normal. In the python version the order of execution is different then the left-to-right reading order.

It's not like it's a fatal flaw for a language to do it like Python. But it is just silly IMO. My POV is that I actually really like if-expressions, but hate the condition-in-the-middle syntax, so I tend to avoid it unless it's really short. When code changes slightly and becomes longer I'd rather not have to always double take if this now should change to an if-statment or to an expression etc.

You would need close to 90k customers to get $35M revenue as they claim.

90 thousand customers sounds like a whole lot of users to me.

I use it myself and it is by far the best email experience ever created. Is it worth the money? That depends on your needs and work, I guess. CEOs laugh at the cost. Developers might think the price is nuts.

Show HN: Bezi – AI agent for Unity game development
by RobertLong | 2025-07-01 16:17:54+00:00
Bezi is the AI agent for Unity game development I've wanted for my own projects. It fully understands you project, answers questions, and is a full-featured C# code agent with Cursor-style checkpoints and edits. Unlike other code agents though, it's deeply integrated with the Unity Editor and can do things like:

- Mention or pin game objects, scripts, prefabs, etc. with fast autocomplete.

- Understand complex scene hierarchy, component relationships, and other Unity-specific context that other tools simply don't have or spend more tokens to understand.

- Full project-wide RAG. Bezi indexes your entire project and understands your assets.

- Web search, Unity docs search, and more.

I have a background in the XR space and work on a number of Unity projects as a hobby. I'm biased but, I'm having a ton of fun using Bezi in my free time to prototype and build out ideas. I've built character controllers and gameplay mechanics a number of times and being able to skip the boilerplate and get to the fun part is a game changer.

We're building this for individuals and studios who want to use AI to speed up their development without the hassle of manually crafting their context in other tools but also for people like myself who are working on side-projects or indie games in their free time.

If you've ever wanted to build a game but didn't know where to start, Bezi is a great way to learn game dev. Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

A distributed KV-store plus a relational layer makes it a competitor to NewSQL databases like TiDB, which is also based on Facebook's RocksDB.

It doesn't look like it's very actively developed: https://github.com/topling/toplingdb/pulse/monthly

To the OP who's developing it: I suggest polishing your README. Provide a simple installation tutorial, maybe a trial offering like tidbcloud.com, and comparative benchmark results, since you advertise your performance.
by boxed | 2025-07-01 16:18:32+00:00
Sure. But it's like... the LLM is a tool to super charge your human association thinking. It's not a search per se, and every time you get the correct answer that's just happy accident (although I realize it happens a lot).

I'd like to see an actual LLM+search system that dreams up hypothesis and then tries to falsify them and confirm them with actual search. That seems like it could be a great search system.

But that's not what we have today afaik. What we have are systems that pump out "you can't lick a badger twice" type misinformation on a massive scale, all unique.

There has been a lot of chaos, and extremely poor treatment of employees throughout the federal government. For instance, firing people because they were in the first couple of years of their tenure and had fewer protections, but then lying to them and telling them it was because of their performance (without actually doing any performance reviews). Mass emails telling people to quit and find more productive jobs in the private sector. Firing, then re-hiring people when it turns out that their work was actually essential (this is a deliberate strategy from Elon and Vivek - they talked about it openly). Telling government workers that you want to put them "in trauma" (Vought). Arbitrarily cancelling important projects and re-directing people to do things like scrub websites of disfavored words.

If you have a small team of experts and you put a couple on administrative leave because you're trying to fire them, and a couple more retire or quit because they don't want to deal with the stress, and the remaining members of the team have to pick up the work, but they're also getting confusing and contradictory directions from their supervisors and are feeling threatened, you're basically going to have productivity crater.

Remote: I'm open to remote and on-site with no preference

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Java, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, C++, C, a little bit of React and Angular 2

Résumé/CV: https://1drv.ms/b/c/46d1fdb68a721574/ERkpEotrOltLly0j74zyXdI...

Email: bepotts47@gmail.com

Hello! I'm a software developer with lots of experience in full stack and backend development. I was most recently a developer at SirusXM Radio until I was laid off recently. The languages I've used the most are Java, C++, Ruby ( Ruby on Rails ), Python, and JavaScript. I've also worked over a year in a classified setting and I still hold a security clearance. I'm looking for a junior/entry level software engineer position.

I attended Virginia Tech for three years and studied Computer Science and Math. I got the core CS curriculum completed; the part I didn't complete were the electives. I had to stop attending because I ran out of money.

Due to my current financial situation, unfortunately I'll require a salary position - no equity only.

With all that said, I'm open to having a conversation with anyone. Thanks! :)

It's still not 'push button' easy, but it's nearly there. It only took reading through a few blog posts and a couple GitHub issues to solve the minor issues I ran into.

I just wish one of the companies like Acurite would maintain an official integration into tools like WeeWX or Home Assistant, or build a model using a standard like Zigbee or Z-Wave, but that has a lot of switching costs too.

I would actually agree with that, too. Grammarly certainly isn't perfect (it still occasionally struggles with the nuance of some idioms or proper nouns), but it does better than LLMs (I use MacWhisper with its "CleanUp" AI prompt for dictation). But Grammarly's inline use is actually pretty handy (even in this text box, I pause typing for a moment, and there's a Tab prompt that will auto-edit my text live).
