It works on my machine" is still the most common deployment bug I kept running into the same stupid deployment issue. Everything works locally. Tests pass. I deploy. Production crashes. After digging through logs for an hour the problem ends up being something simple like: • a missing environment variable • something added to .env.example but not to .env • a config mismatch between environments The most common one for me was forgetting to add a variable locally after adding it to .env.example. So I built a small tool to catch this instantly. It compares .env and .env.example and tells you if…

bugstack▲76Hey HN, bugstack started life as an internal tool for my other startup Fuelscout because my customers would encounter production bugs when I was away that would ruin their experience. When I went camping and came home to find out my internal tool had fixed an error and shipped it to production I knew it was bigger than Fuelscout, so my little tool became bugstack. bugstack monitors your production errors 24/7. When a user hits a bug, bugstack captures the error, pulls context from your repo, generates a minimal surgical code fix, runs it through CI, and delivers it as a pull request. If…

Hi HN, this is Shimon and Eyar of Datree (https://www.datree.io/). When I was an Engineering Manager of Infrastructure at ironSource (NASDAQ:IS) for 400 developers, a developer made a mistake, causing a misconfiguration to reach production, which caused major problems for the company's infrastructure. Mistakes happen all the time - you learn from them and hope to never make them again. But how can we prevent a production issue from recurring, or, how about a bigger challenge — how can you prevent the next one from the get-go? In our case, we tried sending emails to our devs,…

I built FixBugs, an agent that ingests the rich context surrounding production bugs to reproduce them in a sandbox and generate verified fixes. It's available in the form of a self-hosted VSCode extension and as a Github app: VSCode Extension: https://fixbugs.ai/go/vscode-extension - full code and data privacy. - zero data retention models opted out of training. GitHub App: https://fixbugs.ai/go/github-app - we do access your code temporarily. - pick a repo to install FixBugs on. What motivated me to build FixBugs were my years being on-call at Google…

Preflight▲77Hey HN, I’m a product designer on a payments team. Every time we were close to shipping a feature, we’d run a bug bash in a giant Google doc or spreadsheet: copy the spec in, write the test cases, ask people to mark Pass/Fail, paste screenshots, then manually turn everything into Jira tickets. It worked, but it always felt a bit painful. Instead of another heavy test management tool, I wanted something that feels closer to the tools we actually like using. More Linear/Notion, less old-school QA. With Preflight, you paste your product requirements and Figma link and get an initial…

We now write most of our code with agents. For a while, PRs piled up, causing review fatigue, and we had this sinking feeling that standards were slipping. Consistency is tough at this volume. I’m sharing the solution we found, which has become our main product. Continue (https://docs.continue.dev) runs AI checks on every PR. Each check is a source-controlled markdown file in `.continue/checks/` that shows up as a GitHub status check. They run as full agents, not just reading the diff, but able to read/write files, run bash commands, and use a browser. If it finds…

What it is: GitArsenal automatically sets up and runs any GitHub repository on your machine (or a cloud instance) without you having to deal with dependency hell, environment setup, or debugging cryptic error messages. The problem: We've all been there, you find an interesting AI model or project on GitHub, try to run it, and spend hours wrestling with Python versions, CUDA toolkit mismatches, missing dependencies, and vague README instructions. Most people give up before seeing the code actually work. How it works: - You give it a GitHub repo URL - It analyzes the entire codebase using…

no-mistakes is how I kill AI slop. It puts a local git proxy in front of my real remote. I push to no-mistakes instead of origin, and it spins up a disposable worktree, runs my coding agent as a validation pipeline, forwards upstream only after every check passes, opens a clean PR automatically, and babysits CI pipeline for me.
