Really interesting parallel between decidedly traditional technology and today.

Thanks and hope it helps! Feel free to share any feedback or questions.

Thanks! What you're building sounds quite cool as well. If you end up giving it a try, would love to hear any feedback.

Good question! It integrates with Claude Code via hooks and skills. These show up in git so can be deleted or removed easily.

In terms of what it changes, it runs some background agents. These can easily be turned on and off via the Dashboard settings as well

Thanks! I'm first-generation American (born and grew up here) but parents are originally from Egypt and Germany. They wanted to pick a name that would work globally - or so they've told me.

I hope so! Feedback welcome.

Hey HN! I’m Nadia, one of the builders. Happy to answer anything.

Some context on what “rules” are for people who haven’t seen them: Claude Code has a built-in system for structured context beyond claude.md files. Rules support path matching (apply context only to specific files/directories), scoped organization, and structured formatting.

We have been running CodeYam Memory on our own repo for the past few weeks. The main difference we see is fewer repeated mistakes and less manual context maintenance. It’s still early, but it has meaningfully improved how we work with Claude Code.

If discussion gets too long for HN threads, we also have a Discord for questions and feedback: https://discord.gg/eFPUs7CeFw

> For me personally, I’d trust Yegge’s Beads about as much as I’d trust most other OSS projects, not because the LLM is good, but because of those tens of thousands of eyeballs. I’d trust something an LLM produced just for me significantly less, because I’m the first person to run the thing.

I thought this was an interesting and valid point!

That's a fair point and agreed that human researchers certainly do more than just pattern match. I took it as sort of vision-y fluff and not literally, but do appreciate you calling that out more explicitly as being wrong.

> "Rather than scanning for known patterns, Claude Code Security reads and reasons about your code the way a human security researcher would: understanding how components interact, tracing how data moves through your application, and catching complex vulnerabilities that rule-based tools miss."

Fascinating! Our team has been blending static code analysis and AI for a while and think it's a clever approach for the security use case the Anthropic team's targeting here.

Thanks for the clarification, I really appreciate it! This makes more sense and was helpful. Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

> "At Spotify, engineers are using an internal system called “Honk” to speed up coding and product velocity, the company told analysts on the call. This system allows for things like remote, real-time code deployment using generative AI, and specifically Claude Code."

Fascinating...I wonder what the internal system "Honk" does vs. what Claude Code natively does. Why build an internal system at all? I found the article fairly vague on it beyond this quote; seems like CI/CD and such maybe?

> "It has been less than three years since Anthropic earned its first dollar in revenue. Today, our run-rate revenue is $14 billion, with this figure growing over 10x annually in each of those past three years."

Wild although not entirely surprising. Congrats, Anthropic.

Pretty wild quote from early in the article:

> "Minions are Stripe’s homegrown coding agents. They’re fully unattended and built to one-shot tasks. Over a thousand pull requests merged each week at Stripe are completely minion-produced, and while they’re human-reviewed, they contain no human-written code."

Fully unattended while writing code but with human-reviewed code makes sense, but also seems potentially soulless. I suppose it depends on what they're one-shotting - if it's bug fixes, great. But if it's more creative coding, that might be a bit of a downer for humans who are relegated to reviewing. Curious what others think.

Interesting! Sort of a tangential question to the product itself but why did you choose to build primarily in Rust? I saw "built with Rust + simd-json + ratatui for ultra-fast performance" but am not actually very familiar with how these technology choices specifically enable ultra-fast performance. Would love to learn more!

I think you're right - I'm guessing there were some outages with scaling and the surge of new human and AI users. Eventually it worked!

Congrats - seems like a wild launch! I (human) haven't been able to actually look at any of the topic pages; they're all "loading..." indefinitely. Is the site just slammed or are there outages? Would love to be able to take a look!

Thanks!

Thank you.

Getting a 404 page not found for this project - how can I try it?

This is fascinating, thanks for sharing! I also appreciated the "when would you need this" section at the end.

> "When Would You Need This? - Client hands you a Figma Make prototype but not the design file - You want to audit AI-generated code before deployment - You need to migrate away from Figma Make to a different stack - You want to extract design tokens for your design system - Pure curiosity about how Figma structures its data"

> "For us, abandoning low-code to reclaim ownership of our internal tooling was a simple build vs buy decision with meaningful cost savings and velocity gains. It also feels like a massive upgrade in developer experience and end-user quality of life. It’s been about 6 months since we made this switch, and so far we haven’t looked back."

Fascinating but not surprising given some of the AI-for-software development changes of late.
