meszmate··on Show HN: Neoswarm – Neovim for controlling AI agents
Hi everyone, I've been using it as a daily driver for the past week and decided to release the first version to the public today.

It made me 10x more productive than other GUI apps, curious what you guys think about it!

Tested entirely with claude, so it can have issues with other models, feel free to contribute or open an issue!

meszmate··on New Microsoft 365 pricing live, some products up by 42% due to AI
It makes no sense to use 365 anymore, there are so many other alternatives
meszmate··on Podman v6.0.0
Since I came across orbstack that's the only one I use for docker on macOS
meszmate··on Order a burned CD of your own public GitHub repo
Just placed an order for mine
meszmate··on FBI Seizes NetNut Proxy Platform, Popa Botnet
They seized netnut.com, but netnut.io is still online. Not sure how long that'll last though.
meszmate··on Swift Package Index joins Apple
Back when I was working with Swift, I always thought Swift Package Index was made by Apple
meszmate··on Anthropic, please ship an official Claude Desktop for Linux
still no ultracode effort in the desktop app
meszmate··on I design with Claude more than Figma now
Same here. I mostly use Figma for logos and random assets now.
meszmate··on Dear Microsoft, enough is enough
You buy the license and still get ads and Edge shoved in your face. macOS is far from perfect, but at least it doesn’t do that.
meszmate··on VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare
Sponsorships are obviously not enough, and not every open source tool has some obvious hosting product to sell. A lot of this stuff is basically public infrastructure now, but we still fund it like a side project.
meszmate··on Uber's $1,500/month AI limit is a useful signal for AI tool pricing
It still probably produces better results than some junior engineers in a lot of cases.

But yeah, for a company at Uber’s scale, I can see why they would want real engineering discipline around it.

meszmate··on Learn SQL Once, Use It for 30 Years
I’ve been using Postgres for over 6 years (since I started), and I honestly think it’s one of the best investments you can make as a developer
meszmate··on Persistent Memory for Coding Agents
I made a similar project a while ago (https://github.com/memctl/memctl), but I had to archive it because there are already better built-in alternatives for most coding agents. Good luck with this one.
meszmate··on Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language
I always liked the language, but the lack of types always made me a bit nervous for larger codebases.
meszmate··on 1-Click GitHub Token Stealing via a VSCode Bug
I don’t really understand why more devs don’t try Neovim.

Maybe it’s just my preference, but I like having a small setup where I know what is installed and what is running. With VSCode, browser IDEs, extensions, sync, tokens, and random plugins, it gets hard to tell what actually has access to what.

meszmate··on Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers
Europe gets romanticized way too much. Healthcare often means months of waiting and very hit-or-miss doctors. Bureaucracy is worse, salaries are lower, and there are plenty of stupid laws and corruption too.

It is probably better if you value slower life, more vacation, and working less. But it is not some obvious upgrade over the U.S. Just a different set of problems.

(I'm hungarian)

meszmate··on Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC
IPO incoming. Going to be interesting watching how long the PBC mission holds up once there are shareholders to answer to every quarter
meszmate··on macOS needs its grid back
It got restrictive enough that I jumped to Linux with Hyprland and just configured everything the way I actually want
meszmate··on The newest Instagram “exploit” is the goofiest I've seen
Who looked at password resets and went “yeah, let the chatbot handle that one”
meszmate··on Meta launches Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp subscriptions
So now you can pay $3.99/mo for the privilege of custom profile fonts and animated reactions while still getting served ads between Reels. Truly the premium doomscrolling experience.
meszmate··on Cloudflare Turnstile requiring fingerprintable WebGL
I don't really understand why verifying I'm human would require fingerprinting my device in the first place. The whole framing feels backwards.
meszmate··on MCP is dead?
A lot of companies will never build a great CLI, and many will not prioritize a clean public API unless there is obvious demand.
meszmate··on SQLite is all you need for durable workflows
Most apps do not actually need the concurrency capacity that Postgres or MySQL are designed for.
meszmate··on Can AI Exit Vim?
Yeah, but it would still open three tabs, rewrite my config, and ask whether I meant :q or :qa!
meszmate··on Neovim 0.12.0
At this point my dev setup is basically just Neovim, tmux, and a terminal. I ended up removing the usual IDEs because I just was not opening them anymore.

What sold me was not even the editor itself at first, it was the workflow. I can leave sessions running, bounce between projects instantly, and my system still feels light. That matters a lot once you get used to having multiple things going at the same time.

Claude Code also helps a lot with the rough edges. When I run into some niche config issue or weird tooling problem, it is usually fixable in minutes instead of turning into a rabbit hole.
