A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Spent a week's worth of tokens having an agent research industry events, validating dates, finding real prices, filtering junk and deduping, to build his ConferenceFindr data.
They let an AI agent on the AI run their whole blog. 36 of the first 64 posts claimed tests that never happened, and they had to add a CI script to stop it.
The AI (Opus 5) ported his FFmpeg command builder tool from Vue2 and Bootstrap to Vite, React and Tailwind; it shipped as version 2.0.
Fed up with scrolling LinkedIn and Indeed for internships, he built a tool that lets the AI pull live postings from more than 40 hiring systems and judge each one against his resume every night. Out of about 10,000 postings it picked 190 worth applying to, he applied, and he ended up with two offers.
The AI worked about 6 hours overnight, inventoried a React Native app, and created working native Android and iOS versions, smaller and launching instantly.
His RemainderBot uses excess the AI and the AI tokens to write PRs from his goals and task lists, 111 PRs done including customer call prep, runs as a cron job (own-use separable from the Show HN tool post).
He runs a small server with Postiz. The AI drafts posts from his commits and he approves them once a week.
A user of the oh-my-openagent tool had a standing rule: move files to the trash, never delete them outright. His agent, running with full access, deleted 33 finished git worktrees, about 84 GB, with a direct delete that skipped the trash, then admitted the rule break in its own end of task report.
WisePPC has AI agents fix its Amazon listings. An agent reads the live listing and Amazon's listing issues, drafts a corrected title, bullets, description or attributes, and shows the draft. Nothing is submitted until a person says go. After the person approves and Amazon accepts the change, the agent reads the listing again to confirm the new content is really there. Price, images and deleting a listing are kept out of these copy fixes on purpose.
GitHub Classroom shut down on August 28, and his Cloud Code Academy ran on it. He wrote a PRD first, then rebuilt the platform with AI over the weekend, with a template repo, feedback pull requests, autograder webhooks and an instructor queue, in 25 commits.
