Hi!

I'm Eric, full-stack software engineer with 12+ YOE. Before becoming a software engineer I spent almost 10 years in sales and marketing. Holding titles such as Director of Sales and Director of Consumer services. I initially got into tech to solve my own problems, and as the saying goes, one thing led to another and I've been loving my time as a software engineer.

I specialize in full stack to the core. From DevOps/IaC to CICD to frontend styling, I'm comfortable and experienced in all aspects.

Interested in linking with companies willing to exploit all of my experience to deliver tangible impact.

Cheers!

I built ExpenseJar after getting frustrated with existing budgeting apps that were either too bloated or too limited. I wanted something fast, simple, and focused purely on helping users track spending and stick to budgets — without unnecessary complexity or ads.

Key features:

Fast manual expense entry with smart suggestions

One-click bank statement import (CSV/PDF parsing)

Budget tracking with alerts

Daily reminders to stay consistent

Encrypted cloud sync across devices

Minimal UI with dark mode support

No account linking required

It’s available on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/expensejar-track-budget/id6739...

Would love feedback, bug reports, or suggestions from fellow HNers. Happy to answer any technical/product questions!

Incineration produces ash that ends up in landfills. The volume is of course a lot smaller, but I think there will always be a need for landfills. In fact, my city just opened up a new landfill specifically for incineration by-products a couple years ago. And as people are producing more and more trash every year, demand for such facilities will likely continue to increase.

> Everyone in these sorta threads asks for "proofs" and I don't really know what to offer

I’ve tried building these kinds of multi agent systems a couple times, and I’ve found that there’s a razor thin edge between a nice “humming along” system I feel good about and a “car won’t start” system where the first LLM refuses to properly output JSON and then the rest of them start reading each others <think> thoughts.

The difference seems to often come down to:

- Which LLM wrappers are you using? Are they using/exposing features like MCP, tools and chain-of-thought correctly for the particular models you’re using?

- What are your prompts? What are the 5 bullet points with capital letters that need to be in there to keep things in line? Is there a trick to getting certain LLMs to actually use the available MCP tools?

- Which particular LLM versions are you using? I’ve heard people say that Claude Sonnet 4 is actually better than Claude Opus 4 sometimes, so it’s not always an intuitive “pick the best model” kind of thing.

- Is your system capable of “humming along” for hours or is this a thing where you’re doing a ton of copy-paste between interfaces? If it’s the latter then hey, whatever works for you works for you. But a lot of people see the former as a difficult-to-attain Holy Grail, so if you’ve figured out the exact mixture of prompts/tools that makes that happen people are gonna want to know the details.

The overall wisdom in the post about inputs mattering more than outputs etc is totally spot on, and anyone who hasn’t figured that out yet should master that before getting into these weeds. But for those of us who are on that level, we’d love to know more about exactly what you’re getting out of this and how you’re doing it.

(And thanks for the details you’ve provided so far! I’ll have to check out Zen MCP)

> Is this something you've actually done?

I haven’t done this myself, but I have discovered that it is not allowed to ship or mail items with lithium ion batteries that are likely or suspected to be or actually are damaged, which came in handy when I discovered that a previously working device suddenly stopped charging within the return period. Amazon said I had to work with the seller directly through Amazon, which I did, and when they offered to replace the item and I desired a refund, they refused and stopped responding. I elevated the issue to Amazon and they asked me to return the item, which I was unable to in good conscience do, as I could not attest to the shipper that it was safe to mail, as it had a non-removable battery that would now no longer charge. So Amazon said please don’t ship it, but to dispose of it according to my local disposal regulations.

In the interest of public safety, I told a lot of people about this important issue at my own freebooted unaffiliated DEF CON 30 talk outside while a bomb threat or something caused Caesar’s to be on lockdown. At this talk, I gave away the affected device, a Ledger Nano X which would work when powered via USB C but would not charge or work unplugged. All features and functions still worked otherwise.

> You might want to work on your pitch, it comes across as a little crazy haha

It’s funny you mention that, as I really had to almost haggle to give it away, it was really a kind of comedy routine that occurred to me in the moment, and it was hilarious. Think about the tone of delivery of spam emails. The delivery mechanism itself is worded in such a way that it weeds out folks not receptive to the message. The message is the medium. It’s the multi sensory experience of being appealed to which is the payload that runs on vulnerable processors of susceptible minds, if you ingest it in the way presented and intended.

Thank you for coming to my socially engineered TED Talk re-enactment. I had a lot of fun that year and will be going to DEF CON again this year in a month or so too!

I intend to get a second SIM to use for anything that needs security.

Is there a practical way to remotely access an Android phone? Unattended, still works after reboots, not something like RealVNC (which needs UI interaction to begin session).

I need security when traveling and so many important accounts (like my bank) want to use my phone as two factor.

And my online bank portal locked me out for a month from overseas while traveling (some bug with their fraud prevention). I never ever want to deal with that again!!!
Show HN: Legal Eyes – Turn casual payment requests into formal legal notices
by jamsey | 2025-07-02 02:40:37+00:00
Hey HN,

Just an indie dev here, who struggles to write formal emails when the occasion calls, such as payment reminders. I often find myself copy pasting from ClaudAI or ChatGPT. I figured being as I am a developer I could just make something to speed up the process, and a few of my mates asked to use it as well. I thought maybe this could help more people in trying to formalise their emails. Its region aware, so you will get correct context depending on what country or state you live in, and I am pretty proud of the results.

you get the first 5 for free, so you can try it out, and make sure that it will work for you. I really hope it can help some of you out there, as its helped me in the last couple of months. Just right click and covert ;)

> they're buying the buyer's rate down out of their margins. The fundamentals are showing weakness. These price levels for real estate are unsustainable

I don't think this factors in demand pressures that are new to this market. Houses are increasingly built for mass corporate owners. Besides the aforementioned traditional neighborhood builds, we have additional single family neighborhoods being built exclusively to rent out.

Where a owner-buyer might respond to a 5% variance in the market, those corporate owners don't care. Their houses generate revenue and they can self-insure.

To them, an entire neighborhood is just another commercial venture. But that venture consumes home building resources just like traditional neighborhood builds do - except it does it without increasing the supply at all.

edit: President King has decided he wants the Fed rate under 1%. Given the staggering amount of power being gifted to him, it could be 1,785,774th inappropriate demand that gets met.

The alternative is enshittification of the entire product lineup to include ads, exorbitant subscription prices, reduced functionality along a painful price gradient, morphing into a dopamine social product, or a goal to rent real-life assets for to an increasingly impoverished population.

Such things play a part, of course, however at a nation level the first order consideration would have been ANZUS like defence agreements and a sense that ongoing regional support from the US rested on Australian support for the US, right or wrong.

RWX | Software Engineer | REMOTE (US) | Full-time | https://rwx.com

$175K – $250K + equity

We're a CI/CD platform with an entirely differentiated execution model. Rather than parallelizing jobs on VMs, we provide a serverless interface using a graph of tasks. We then have automatic, content-based caching, which eliminates the large amount of redundant executions that CI platforms have today. You can test changes from a local CLI so that you don't have to commit and push to run. We've made substantial improvements to every aspect of the developer experience.

We're looking for backend-focused engineers who excel at building developer tools. Our engineers are effectively product managers as well and work highly autonomously.

The short answers:

1. It answers how macroscopic equations of e.g., fluid dynamics are compatible with Newton's law, when they single out an arrow of time while Newton's laws do not.

2. It was solved in the 1800s if you made an unjustified technical assumption called molecular chaos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_chaos). This work is about whether you can rigorously prove that molecular chaos actually does happen.

3. There are no applications outside of potentially other pure math research. For a physics/engineering perspective the whole theory was fine by assuming molecular chaos.

I like Jerry Seinfeld’s take on plagiarism in comedy. His point is that whoever writes the funniest joke about a given premise gets the credit. This applies forward as well. As you may come up with a new angle and punchline for a well established premise.

I wrote a fun (to me) take on the good ‘ole horse walks into a bar joke. Here it goes:

Horse walks into a bar.

Bartender says: “Why the long face?”

Horse replies: “I can’t find a stable job.”

AI x Healthcare Startup | Boston, MA Onsite | Full-time | Early Engineer

We're looking for a backend-leaning fullstack dev. You will be one of the first engineers outside of the founding team. Here is a bit more about us: We're a seed stage AI startup backed by several top tier VCs. We're on a mission to ensure patients get the coverage they deserve from their health insurance.

We’re building deep, vertically integrated technology systems to solve fundamental problems in US healthcare - the biggest market in the world ($5T). We use AWS, K8s, React, and Rust but there is no requirement to have prior experience with them specifically. We'll teach you!

We are a founding team made up of ex-YC, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Harvard Business School with previous successful exits. We have a 6+ month customer waitlist and growing insanely fast.

We're hiring our first engineer outside the founders. You'll work directly with customers to understand their needs, design the right solution, and build from zero to one. You'll own entire parts of the roadmap and tech stack while wearing multiple hats. Most important characteristics are resilience, work ethic, and curiosity. We care about slope, not where you are today.

This is an opportunity to work in an insanely fast paced, high ownership environment while solving real problems in healthcare.

We're happy to share more details on the role in person/on zoom. Please fill out this form if interested!

> there is a view that foreign internet behemoths have failed to moderate for themselves and will therefore have moderation imposed on them however imperfect.

This view is manufactured. The premise is that better moderation is available and despite that, literally no one is choosing to do it. The fact is that moderation is hard and in particular excluding all actually bad things without also having a catastrophically high false positive rate is infeasible.

But the people who are the primary victims of the false positives and the people who want the bad stuff fully censored aren't all the same people, and then the second group likes to pretend that there is a magic solution that doesn't throw the first group under the bus, so they can throw the first group under the bus.

I don't think you could compete with the exact same product... the advantage of scale would still give Apple more than sufficient edge.

However if you happened to like E.G. Apple's screen, or camera, or another component that was better than what else could be selected it could be part of a design which competed on other merits. E.G. maybe the touch digitizer is just that much better, so it might make sense on some models of Android or some Libre phone more closely based on Linux or BSD. Or some company that makes an iPhone like device but to GOV spec standards for a given country. (In my mind, I'm thinking US Gov, but IP laws tend to be International too, so maybe Germany wants it's own secure phone.)

I've never heard about that nobody before, but I've watched about 10 mins. of the first video you posted and it is a terrible critique to Sabine; it actually makes Sabine's points look reasonable.

He just doesn't get the arguments she's making, and "defeats" them with laughable strawmans. But anyway, it's YouTube science so one shouldn't expect much.

Btw, Sabine's video on the topic of this thread is a good one, the remark is unwarranted.

Shoreline, where Google HQ is, was a garbage dump. All those low hills are garbage. At one time they had a methane collection system driving a small power plant, but there's no longer enough methane for that. Once there was a methane fire at a concert.

Palo Alto and Menlo Park had similar garbage dumps, and their hilly parks along the shore of the bay are also trash.

That it works is testimony to the intelligence put towards the code. That no one else can grep it tells me it was solved in a manner which was suboptimal.

I cannot believe Figma hired engineers who could not follow along already-tread footsteps. That’s a nonsensical assertion. Novel code may be inscrutable but the problem-solving and techniques should have been clear and repeatable by those who follow, even if they require adaptation.

> To bring the analogy in line with the App Store, imagine if: (1) Steam was operated by Microsoft, (2) Microsoft only allowed installation of games on Windows through Steam, and (3) Microsoft disallowed installation of alternate OSes on Microsoft PCs.

Not only that, because there are other ways to install an app than Steam, the 30% paid to Steam is paying for promotion within their system. Which is valuable because not all apps are available there, so paying for it makes you more likely to be noticed over someone who distributes for the same platform using an external means.

If an app store is the only way to install apps on a platform then everybody is paying the fee and therefore nobody is getting promoted over anybody else in exchange for it.

> Professor Dave's videos on how Sabine Hossenfelder is actively contributing to an atmosphere of anti-intellectualism

I feel like the core of intellectualism is accepting criticism, including criticism you disagree with. I find some of Sabine's videos to be a bit click-baity, but they are usually logically coherent, even the ones that aren't convincing. She's not just a crazy person yelling at the sky.

Science is not religion. Its ok for people to feel certain research programs are off track. That doesn't neccesarily mean they are right, but its ok to have opinions

> If a company invests billions in R&D to create hardware and its integrated software, shouldn’t it have the right to control who or what interacts with it? Why should I be forced to open up the carefully designed ecosystem I’ve built?

Because once I buy your phone/tablet/whatever, it stops being yours and starts being mine, so I should be in charge of what software it can run from then on.

If the Fed would change the rate to 1% that will result in inflation to quickly rise. People who live of savings, like pensioners, will be hit double. It will also result in a devaluation of the dollar, which in combination of the national depth could lead to serious problems. It looks like it will be a quick fix, but in the long run cause more harm than do good.
Show HN: Lightweight Bar to Psi Converter

Hi HN,

I kept googling “2.5 bar to psi” during sensor tests, so I wrote a tiny webpage: https://bartopsi.xyz

It’s a single HTML/JS file—no frameworks. Pick an input unit and an output unit; the result appears instantly, and the formula is shown underneath for transparency. Supports bar, psi, kPa, atm, and more.

The code is open-source here: https://github.com/tutorial0/bar2psi

If you also juggle pressure units, feel free to bookmark, fork, or leave feedback.

Egypt went from 8 million to 80 million in the last century. In large part because of the rest of the world (massive grain imports from Ukraine ... for example). But it can obviously work, thanks to globalization and how cheap it's to transport things by container ships.

Desalination that runs off of Solar panels makes it pretty viable for places like Dubai to exist. The cheap solar energy from the Desert, makes it attractive for future data centers to be placed there. Also, Ancient Egypt had slaves. A lot of the modern middle eastern states rely on cheap labour from India and Afghanistan. And Oil money ...

It’s worse than that. Companies actively refuse to do anything about content that is reported to them directly, at least until the media kicks up a stink.

Nobody disputes that reliably detecting bad content is hard, but doing nothing about bad content you know about is inexcusable.

The best way to produce shade in the Nevada desert is with solar panels.

The sky is rarely cloudy and solar just blasts all day every day here.

I covered my backyard in Vegas with ground panels and now I charge my EV off of a 100% off grid solar system. The sun provides enough energy in my small yard for 2-3x my driving needs.

> However, if you give it any problem that requires imagination with n+1 ways of being done it flounders and produces mostly garbage.

I'd never thought about LLM failure modes like this, but it makes sense.

Cross too many possibility streams, instead of prompting / contexting down to one, and it vacillates between them and outputs garbage.
