    Weave▲237

    Hey HN, We’re building Weave: an ML-powered tool to measure engineering output, that actually understands engineering output! Why? Here’s the thing: almost every eng leader already measures output - either openly or behind closed doors. But they rely on metrics like lines of code (correlation with effort: ~0.3), number of PRs, or story points (slightly better at ~0.35). These metrics are, frankly, terrible proxies for productivity. We’ve developed a custom model that analyzes code and its impact directly, with a far better 0.94 correlation. The result? A standardized engineering output…

    I built FlouState because "4 hours of coding" tells you nothing. Was it 4 hours debugging or 4 hours building features? Very different. It's a VS Code extension that automatically categorizes your coding into: Creating (new features), Debugging (fixing issues), Refactoring (improving code), or Exploring (learning codebase). Example: Yesterday I "coded" 6 hours but it was actually 3.5h debugging a race condition, 1.5h refactoring, 0.5h tests, 0.5h exploring. Traditional time trackers just show "6 hours in TypeScript." Technical: Tracks file changes, debug sessions, and edit patterns locally.…
