I'm a former academic researcher (in linguistics) turned self-taught software engineer who'd like to transition into professional software development. I'm experienced across the stack using Javascript/TypeScript, Python, and SQL with platforms like Cloudflare and Val Town. I bring a research-driven approach from my Ph.D. in linguistics. I'm especially interested in working on AI tooling and integrations.

nbbaieron Show HN: Skill that lets Claude Code/Codex spin up VMs and GPUs

This is cool! I tried it out, running outside my agent with `cloudrouter start .` and got a password request to auth into the server. Opened an issue[1].

nbbaieron Ask HN: Tools to code using voice?

The only ones I know of require you to be in front of your computer still. When yo say "minimize screen time," I assume you're not wanting to be in front of the computer.

Might sound trite, but why not vibe code something to help you here?
