pizzuh··on Strands Harness
I'm more and more hesitant to use third party harnesses. It's so easy to take opencode or pi and build my own for exactly what I want that I'm seeing projects like this to be noisy and less valuable over time.

I wish this wasn't the case. I love software, but it's becoming increasingly easy to just build my own.

pizzuh··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
I'm sick of AI slop, and decided to do something about it.

Even with Fable I'm still seeing wrong but plausible answers, which are the worst kind imo.

AGENTS.md didn't quite give me the right boost either, so here's my flow:

1. Asking 2 new sessions to review what I built in my other session along with guides/standards* 2. Having a third session judge the first two. It dedupes, and does a good job of only surfacing the important stuff 3. Ask it to make edits, etc.

Some missing parts that I've been finding improve review are: - current/past session context - indexed codebase - PRs/git history - research/guides/3rd party context*

I had been running this on my own for a long time, and just started to turn it into a product. It's free right now, would love any feedback (roast me). Looking forward to catching some bugs for you guys.

Thanks for reading!

* OWASP, Google Code Review, etc

pizzuh··on How MiniDisc Worked
I owned two MD players and used it for songwriting, along with a small directional Sony mic with a mini jack. This was the peak of non-DAW editing. The quality was incredible, and if SSDs weren’t around the corner, I think this tech would have had a chance.

So satisfying to use too. I miss it.

pizzuh··on Ask HN: What back end SSR stack do you recommend in 2025 and why?
It sounds like you're looking for a Django/Rails type framework for JS-- you're not really going to find this. Javascript isn't really the ecosystem that's going to give you something opinionated, although it'd be a nice addition.

I'm not sure you're giving JS it's due. Prisma is an excellent ORM-- it makes Sqlalchemy feel clunky. I'm not sure about your comment on SSR performance either, although I do agree that Vercel tends to be a lot of pixie dust on top of EC2.

What have you used previously?

pizzuh··on AI's energy footprint
Great point. Assuming we can adopt them at the correct pace and on a global scale, then energy doesn't have to be a limiting factor
pizzuh··on AI's energy footprint
Energy use is going to continue to climb.

I'm worried about the environmental impacts of this, but from everything I've seen society values model output more. Curious to watch this over the rest of the decade.

pizzuh··on Ask HN: What back end SSR stack do you recommend in 2025 and why?
Express is extremely mature as a backend, although you may not like the middleware patterns compared to Flask, for example. I've used Flask for years, and find these similar, with some differences.

Next.js + Vercel has strong adoption. This probably comes the closest to checking all of your requirements, although I wouldn't suggest using this for all use cases.

IMO the Node backend framework ecosystem is more mature than Python (no idea about .NET) since Python really is positioned better for data science/ML, etc.

pizzuh··on Show HN: 90s.dev – Game maker that runs on the web
I didn't dig into this deeply, but I miss this aesthetic more than I'd like to admit. I'm sure it reflects on simpler times, but there's some comfort in seeing projects like this for me.
pizzuh··on New tools and features in the Responses API
It's great to see more and more adoption for MCP. I'm not sure it's the most bulletproof protocol, but it feels like it's in a strong lead, especially with OpenAI support.

I've been using Codex for the last 24 hours, and background mode boosts your output. You can have Codex work on n+ features async. I had it building a database model alongside frontend authentication, and did both pretty well.

pizzuh··on Ask HN: How do you promote your personal project in limited budget?
I really think the best place for marketing/promotion, specifically for dev tool projects is twitter/x.

So many developers are on twitter.

All of this being said, Hacker News is pretty great place to share :)

I was thinking the same thing. How could we compile this data? Seems like something that would be popular and should exist

pizzuh··on We Need To Talk About Vercel
For someone looking at switching to Vercel for frontend deployment, this is a bit scary.

Granted, CloudFront isn't terribly hard to use. It's nice to have all resources in one place, however, it's probably worth sticking to the more mature products for things like content delivery.
