Show HN: Git-stint – Built for AI coding agents to multitask without collisions
by rchaz | 2026-03-02 19:10:17+00:00
I've been running multiple AI coding agents in parallel on the same repo. The agents code fine. The problem is managing multiple parallel sessions with git. Multiple agents, one branch, one overwrites the other.

Git worktrees give isolation but the per-session setup/teardown doesn't scale.
GitButler looked promising but testing each agent's changes in isolation was tedious.
Neither was built for this workflow.

git-stint automates the full lifecycle. Each agent session gets its own branch and worktree automatically. WIP auto-commits on exit or crash. Full diff, squash, and PR workflow for review. Conflicts caught before merge. Main stays clean.

Zero runtime deps. npm install -g git-stint. Built for Claude Code's hook system but works with any AI tool that writes to a git repo.

Been using it daily across my own projects. Would love feedback on the approach.

> trying not to make iPads accidentally powerful enough for someone to skip buying a MacBook.

TBH, if you buy an iPad and their nice keyboard case, it costs almost as much as an MBA. This is one of the reasons I simply cannot justify getting a new iPad these days. The other is that my 8 year old iPad Pro still works just fine, in case I ever need to do iPad-ish things like draw with the pencil.

I built an agent with Go for the exact reasons laid out in the article, but did consider Rust. I would prefer it to be Rust actually. But the #1 reason I chose Go is token efficiency. My intuitive sense was that the LLM would have to spent a lot of time reasoning about lifetimes, interpreting and fixing compiler warnings, etc.

Hey HN, this is Louis, co-founder at SightlineOS.

Yusha, Derrick, and I are building an AI-native supply chain operating system for restaurant chains. It’s a massive, overlooked space with deeply underutilized data, and we’re using modern data and ML systems to automate planning, inventory management, and spend optimization.
We’re venture-backed, NYC-based, and are hiring our first senior engineers as we start to scale. These are high-ownership roles with real production impact from day one.

You’d work closely with founders, own core systems end to end, and help shape the technical foundation of the company. You’ll own and scale the data foundations that power our ML and customer insights along with client implementation.

Location: NYC (hybrid, 3 days/week in office)
Salary: $135,000 - $185,000 + equity

The stupid thing is that iPad does have this feature natively, but you need to use an MDM (or apple configurator profile) to access it.

I'm still of the opinion that there's a market, albeit a small one, for a "consumer" MDM product for use cases like this, better parental controls, etc. but almost all are for business and come with some kind of minimum device purchase like 30+ devices.

>> So nope, beyond minimal classification and such, on-device isnt happening.

This is a paradox right? Handset makers want less handset storage so they can get users to buy more of their proprietary cloud storage while at the same time wanting them to use their AI more frequently on their handsets.

It will be interesting which direction they decide to go. Finding a phone in the last few years with more than 256gb storage is not only expensive AF, its become more of a rarity than commonplace. Backtracking on this model in order to simply get AI models on board would be a huge paradigm shift.

Apex Dental Partners | Full-Stack Developer | Dallas, TX (Remote US or Hybrid) | apexdp.com

We're a Dental Support Organization running 59 practices across TX/OK/CO/MO/IA/NE/TN/AZ. The unsexy industry description hides what's actually an interesting technical role: a small dev team with real ownership, pushing hard on automation and AI to make dental operations actually work well.

Stack is primarily Rails 7.1 (Hotwire+Stimulus.js), with some React/Electron, C# .NET (OpenDental), and Go — all on AWS.

You'd be joining a tight team where developers own problems end-to-end: from understanding why a billing workflow breaks down, to designing the fix, to shipping it. The domain is surprisingly broad — patient communication, PMS integration, payroll, clinical workflows — and there's no shortage of genuinely novel problems once you learn the business.

Good fit if you like: stable company, small team, broad latitude, and work that visibly matters to the people using it. Not a fit if you need a large eng org — but there's plenty of greenfield work as we're still actively building new features, not just maintaining legacy code.

> Talking with strangers is surprisingly informative

I think this should be a key point here, for people motivated by curiosity. I don't seek out conversations with strangers, but when they happen I lean heavily into this aspect.

My pro-tip for talking to strangers is to talk about them; ask where they're from, what they do, how their job works, and so on... They are usually more than happy to carry the conversation, they feel like they're being appreciated for being interesting, and you learn so much.

As a throwaway example, I found out from someone at a bar that composing music specifically for movie trailers is a business in itself, and the creators do not even know what movie or what trailer their music will be used for. They get direction, they deliver the music, and usually only find out when the trailer is released. Isn't that interesting?

And if they ask about you, even easier, you get to feel interesting instead!

I was always very uncomfortable socializing growing up and still am, but just like with anything, it gets easier with practice. (Alcohol helps too, if that's an option!)

> What risk exists from sites that are doing to do the right thing?

To be clear, I'm talking about sites for adults that are doing their best right now, but have no idea who is 18 and who is 8. If they have communication between users, it's not set up to be filtered and moderated in a way that protects an 8 year old. If they could cut out a big majority of 8 year olds with the flip of a switch, that would be a good thing.

That's a lot of risk that exists right now and could be reduced.

> This smells strongly of I just made it harder for those that do the right thing and did nothing to solve any problem.

There is no meaningful difficulty in storing two bytes of extra data on the OS account and turning it into a two bit flag that programs can access and pass on to websites. And for most websites that let users communicate it makes their job a lot easier, even if the flag isn't always right.

Brewdog is pretty much a TGI Fridays that’s pretending to be edgy.

People very much don’t like their beers, the atmosphere feels fake, and there’s significantly better options in any major UK city.

It’s a shame they are closing and I feel for the employees, but nobody local really believes they are a respectable place, touristy really.

While UK nightlife/drinking/pubs like every other city in the world is slower since COVID, I still have many friends from around the world who come visit and can’t believe how busy our cities and nightlife are compared to their city back home (NYC, SF, LA, Berlin, Sydney to name a few).

An iPad is a great art production device. It's great for drawing / painting using Apple Pencil and software like ProCreate. It's good for doing music.

It may be a fine media consumption device (browsing, reading, watching); it's a bit heavy but has a large battery.

I don't see any other serious applications for a home user, such that would play the iPad-specific strengths.

> Powertrain is not a concern. It's the load a bike can carry vs a car overall.

Sure, an automobile will pretty much always win out in raw capacity, but I'd argue it's a policy problem that makes us reliant on automobiles for day to day life. If people only needed a car for their weekly grocery trip but could bike to work or school or the doctor's office that would still significantly reduce our reliance on automobiles, with benefits in health and energy.

> I don't want to risk having an injury on a bike either. A car is much safer.

Also a reasonable concern, but again more of a policy problem: we prioritize cars over pretty much every other form of transportation to the detriment of everyone else in public spaces. If we had more protected walkways / bikeways then everyone would be safer.

In general I don't think we regulate the safe use of automobiles nearly as much as we ought to in the states. Leaving it as an individual concern makes it a race to the bottom, with everyone buying bigger and bigger cars in the name of safety, all other externalities be dammed.

Is there a place where people like you go to share ideas around these new ways of working, other than HN? I'm very curious how these new ways of working will develop. In my system, I use voice memo's to capture thoughts and they become more or less what you have as feature designs. I notice I have a lot of ideas throughout the day (Claude chews through them some time later, and when they are worked out I review its plans in Notion; I use Notion because I can upload memos into it from my phone so it's more or less what you call the index). But ideas.. I can only capture them as they come, otherwise they are lost & I don't want to spend time typing them out.

It’s the vendors not supporting platform features. Usually, actively avoiding it because they think it’d dilute their brand or some shit.

I solved this by just pirating everything and putting it in Jellyfin with Infuse on my AppleTV. Managing profiles and parental controls (and god forbid you also want actual curation) is just totally broken if you pay money for the content, but if you pirate it, it works. Go figure. Dropped from like seven or eight streaming services at peak to I think two. It’s not worth it for the savings, though that’s a nice bonus (it all ends up in hard drives or electricity anyway, though) but it’s the only way to get sane UX. Friggin’ irritating.

The stars are probably legitimate.

It's weird that most people in these comments are speculating fraud.

Why aren't companies with real money to gain from stars gaming the system to the same degree? Why do the other metrics - issues and pull requests - match up with its popularity? Why would the bots starring the repo mean that those same bots are not popular? Those bots are controlled by their users.

The project is extremely active because this is what everyone being able to customize their computing looks like. A mess.

But it's a good mess.

Github was the old code sharing model clearly not designed for this. I'm sure a new model for code sharing will come to fix the growing pains.

A ton of people who would have never been able to customize their computing experience are finally able to. And it is magical for them.

This means that those same people will finally value having access to source and use of open protocols.

It was always valuable to us because we had the power to make it matter. It never mattered to them because they did not. Now they do.

The last era of computing was defined by dumbing down computing for the masses. Less information, less customizable, and more metric driven. Control in the hands of the companies.

This new era will look more free/libre, more personal, and less enshitified. Control in the hands of the users.

This is a very positive development.

you had me at Compile time bugs, strong typing, and static typing.

With Go it will increasingly become that one has to write the design doc carefully with constraints, for semi tech/coder folks it does make a lot of sense.

With Python, making believe is easy(seen it multiple times myself), but do you think that coding agent/LLM has to be quite malicious to put make believe logic in compile time lang compared with interpreted languages?

SpruceID (YC W21) | REMOTE (US-Based Preferred) | Full-Time | spruceid.com

Spruce lets users control their data across the web. Instead of users logging into platforms, we believe platforms should request to access data vaults controlled by users.

The demand for trusted digital ID is accelerating as AI deepfakes begin to destroy most of the ways we use to verify identity today. How private or secure is it to hold your driver's license or passport up to a webcam to get a bank account? Was it ever private or secure? Stable diffusion can break so much of this already. Society will need trusted digital IDs and credentials. Our mission is to allow them to be controlled by individuals, with safeguards to prevent descents into surveillance states and checkpoint societies.

We are the main implementers of category-defining initiatives such as the digital ID program for the California DMV, and the verifiable digital credentials program in Utah. We are private sector participants in NIST's National Cyber Security of Excellence initiative for privacy-preserving digital ID.

We are hiring skilled engineers who care about making a real impact in improving public services, digital autonomy, and user privacy for the world. We work closely with public sector agencies, and have high regard for public servants. We have a strong engineering and customer-oriented culture, and are not simply a SaaS product or AI wrapper. Our roles are not for the faint of heart: you will be expected to work hard and learn a lot in this role.

Our engineers are ambitious to get outcomes for our customers and their constituents. On any given day, they may write great Rust/C#/TypeScript, deal with mainframe dumps, read policy documents, respond to technical RFIs/RFPs, manage on-prem environments, implement new NFC + Bluetooth protocols in Swift/Kotlin, create CI/CD processes that enforce W3C accessibility guidelines and i18n requirements, rewrite lost specs from disassembled binaries, figure out stablecoin payments, and design new protections for public key infrastructure. It is a team effort, and people with T-shirt shaped skills are able to collaborate and learn a ton from each other every day.

We are interested in candidates who want to be proud of the meaningful impact they make for society, even if it takes time to get right. This is not the right job for someone who wants to "join a cool new AI startup" that implodes or exits in under a year.

AI: I use it - i can keep multiple things going in parallel which seems to work well with my ADHD.

Foreign BS: I worry a bit about my draft age kids, worry about donald rumsfeld's ghost making us go back to nation building again.

Enshitification: well, I've thrown my ios26 powered phone a few times, its a constant source of ire. I long for something better to come along.

overall, I just play with my dogs, lift heavy things, and just keep my head down. Last night the wife broke the tractor and I had to improvise a fix - which entailed using the MIG welder. I went to sleep happy.

I think there's also laws of physics based on the current architecture. Its like saying looking at a 10GB video file and saying - it has to compress to 500MB right? I mean, it has to - right?

Unless we invent a completely NEW way of doing videos, there's no way you can get that kind of efficiency. If tomorrow we're using quantum pixels (or something), sure 500MB is good enough but not from existing.

In other words, you cannot compress a 100GB gguf file into .. 5GB.
Show HN: ChatOffRecord – Anonymous chatrooms that self-destruct in 10 minutes
by mistyshadow | 2026-03-02 19:14:53+00:00
Hi HN,

I built a small privacy-focused web app called ChatOffRecord.
It creates temporary anonymous chatrooms that automatically self-destruct in 10 minutes.

No accounts, no logs, no database of messages — everything is kept in memory and disappears when the room expires. The idea is to provide a simple way to have an off-the-record conversation with someone without needing a login or installing anything.

Core features:
- Create an anonymous chatroom in one click
- No sign-up or personal data
- No persistent storage of messages
- Rooms auto-delete in 10 minutes
- Invite by sharing the URL

I also added an optional one-time $2.99 upgrade that creates a permanent private room with a custom link. Messages in those rooms are still ephemeral (no storage), but the URL never expires.

Would love feedback — especially around security assumptions, UX flows, and any edge cases you think I should consider. This is my first attempt at building an ephemeral WebSocket-based chat system with strict no-storage rules.

Live site: https://chatoffrecord.com
(You can test everything directly, including free rooms.)

Yes, that.

They are convinced that women are terrible people who deny them sex for no reason. Not surprisingly, women don't want to have sex with men who hate them.

Breaking out of that loop is nigh-on impossible. It's hard to mask that belief, so even if they try, women get a bad feeling about them. They don't feel safe, and women are extremely vulnerable during sex; women don't have sex when there's any chance you might hurt them.

Once they've hooked up with other incels, they spend their time goading each other into higher levels of hatred for women, making it even harder for them to find a woman who will demonstrate what actual human women are like.

It is both simple and incredibly difficult to just accept that women are people. If you can do that -- or even fake it -- you can find out how to actually enjoy women as people, and not just the guardians of sex.

I agree. In the long term we need to reduce fossil fuel usage but in the short term, restricting pipeline construction means that more petroleum products are transported by rail cars which is a lot dirtier and more dangerous. We have to take a pragmatic harm minimization approach rather than being idealistic.

The main goal of physical repair of the defect in utero is actually to reduce the incidence of hydrocephalus and hindbrain herniation, which are very common in people with Spina Bifida. The existing fetal surgery reduces the incidence of hydrocephalus from about 80% to about 40%. The improvement in leg and bowel/bladder function is actually a secondary benefit.

My understanding is that the hindbrain herniation (aka Chiari Malformation Type II) is the main cause of cognitive trouble in people with SB. But it's worth noting that it's very far from universal in causing that. Most people with SB are basically normal cognitively assuming they get good early intervention (VP shunt, PT, OT, etc.). Some early cognitive development can be slower as a knock on effect of not being able to move around as much as a baby and toddler, and thus less able to explore the environment, etc.

Source: I'm the parent of a toddler with spina bifida. She's completely on track cognitively and with fine motor skills so far. She's way behind with gross motor skills due to her inability to move her legs very much.

Technical details (for anyone curious):

- Built using Node + WebSockets
- All chat messages exist only in server memory per room
- When a room expires (10 minutes after first join), the server destroys its in-memory data structure and disconnects clients
- No logs of message bodies (explicitly disabled)
- No database writes for messages; only permanent-room metadata is stored
- Simple per-connection rate limiting to prevent abuse
- Free rooms = 10 minutes, paid rooms = permanent URL with ephemeral messages
- Paid flow uses Stripe; confirmation → claim-room pattern

I’m particularly interested in feedback on:
- Whether 10 minutes is too short/long
- Any privacy or anonymity pitfalls I may be missing
- How to improve reliability / reduce edge case failures
- Whether the paid model makes sense / feels ethical
by stackghost | 2026-03-02 19:16:22+00:00
I independently came to this conclusion myself a few months ago. I don't particularly enjoy working with Go. I find it to be cumbersome and tedious to write by hand. I find the syntax to be just different enough from C++ or C# to be irritating. Don't get me started on the package versioning system.

But it does have the benefit of having a very strong "blessed way of doing things", so agents go off the rails less, and if claude is writing the code and endless "if err != nil" then the syntax bothers me less.

Well, when a good faith [0] submission from a respectable unaffiliated developer is disparaged on a place like reddit by some heavy-handed action, a natural reaction can be something like "Who died and made you bhagwan?"

Now that you mention it, the similarity is more obvious than I thought.

[0] OK, moderate faith, "there's an LLM involved so it's got to be crapware".

Not my downvote btw, never have never will, that's almost as chickenshit as can be. Almost.
