jantbon Thoth – open-source Local-first AI Assistant

Maybe align the architecture diagram in the readme? Having the boxes not align dure to the llm not being able to count correctly looks kind of bad.

I think however the idea with the knowledge graph is nice.

jantbon No existing dev tool fits perfectly, so I built my own

Digg it, I made my own sandbox in rust with seatbelt and a context manager in swift to compose my initial input into claude-code. Basically a RAG kind of thing where Jira tasks, pdfs other documentation, meeting notes etc can be used to generate the initial plan for Claude.

jantbon I'm 60 years old. Claude Code killed a passion

I’m doing the same as you and even though I was producing coding a lot of the actual products I estimated the coding part just to be about 20% of the work. The rest is figuring out what and how to build stuff and what stakeholders really need, and solving production issues in live event driven systems. Agentic coding is just faster at the 20% part, and I can always sit down and code the really hard stuff if I want to or feel I need to if the LLM gets stuck. If it produces something not understandable I either learn from it until I understand it og makes it do a pattern I know instead. So all in all, not so worried.

jantbon Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?

Using claude-code for fixing bugs in a rather huge codebase. Reviews the fixes and if i think it wrote something I would make a pr off i use it. Understanding is key I think and giving it the right context. I have about 20 years of experience of programming and I’m letting it code in a domain and language I know very well. It saves me a lot when the bug requires finding a needle in a haystack.

jantbon Show HN: HAL – Harmful Action Limiter: Lean command guard for AI coding agents.

How does this compare to nono or SafeHouse?

jantbon Show HN: Strata – 31-43% cheaper Claude Code reads via entropy, no parser

Nice idea, does it work when doing longer sessions, when the files have been modified?

jantbon Calendar App Made in Zig

Happy new year, I tested the app and I like it. It is super fast and easy to navigate in.

Some minor things I found was:

- Not able to close the app or move it on Osx, due to the hidden decorations

- Resize the windows makes it possible to get cells of zero size, while the text does not change size

- shortcuts are hardcoded ine view_events and in shortcuts

- the ignore next event logic with the hardcoded a A in the add_event

But all in all a nice little app, really loved it.
