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.
nbbaier··on Ask HN: Is your company still hiring junior engineers?
Which company? Curious because I'm looking for a junior role
nbbaier··on Show HN: Woomarks, transfer your Pocket links to this app or self-host it

nbbaier··on Show HN: A simple CLI tool to list network ports and their associated bin
Useful, thanks! It would be nice if there was a more minimal styling without the table lines, but for now this is great.
nbbaier··on Show HN: Port Kill – A lightweight macOS status bar development port monitor
Neat! There's also a raycast extension for this kind of thing for anyone who wants to go that route:

nbbaier··on Building AI products in the probabilistic era

nbbaier··on Dagger and opencode and agnostic agents and SSH app = most portable dev kit

nbbaier··on Show HN: OverType – A Markdown WYSIWYG editor that's just a textarea
Isn't this just syntax highlighting and not wysiwyg?
nbbaier··on Ask HN: Do you still bookmark websites?
> I do sometimes think that, at least nowadays, you can ask an LLM to visit your bookmarked links and do some semantic search over them. But I guess the best use case is just saving it for later/never rather than wasting time on it now.

I've been meaning to build something like this

nbbaier··on Ask HN: How do you avoid job hunting burnout?
Wow this sounds so so good. Wish I could find something like this.

nbbaier··on Claude Code weekly rate limits
Will there be a native way to track in Claude Code how close we are to hitting those weekly rate limits?
nbbaier··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (July 2025)
Do you have any particular prompt foo for Claude Code re: frontend? I'm so tired of the generic designs

This sounds really useful for me. Any way to share the code?
nbbaier··on Show HN: Token-efficient zod-like schema definition library for LLMs
Interesting, but why wouldn't I just use zod here?
nbbaier··on Show HN: Strava for Cooking
I'm getting stuck in a loop when I try to login/signup with google. Just takes me back to the login page.
nbbaier··on Show HN: I built library management app for those who outgrew spreadsheets
I did the same thing, though I used libib for the lookup
nbbaier··on My favorite use-case for AI is writing logs
Well said!
