Hello HN, I don't post on here much, but wanted to get some eyes on a new project I'm just launching. I think we definitely need one more AI code agent.. I'm a long-term C++ dev, and over 30+ years I've created some successful audio dev tools (JUCE, the Tracktion DAW, the Cmajor DSP language). All of these came from me getting annoyed with something I had to use, and deciding to have a go at my own take on whatever it was. So Juggler is my attempt at an AI code agent, after spending too many hours loving what the models could do, but hating the CLI experience, and having some opinions of…

I’m a former Systems Architect (Cisco/VMware) turned builder in Thailand. TheAuditor v2.0 is a complete architectural rewrite (800+ commits) of the prototype I posted three months ago. The "A-ha" moment for me didn't come from a success; it came from a massive failure. I was trying to use AI to refactor a complex schema change (a foundation change from "Products" to "ProductsVariants"), and due to the scope of it, it failed spectacularly. I realized two things: * Context Collapse: The AI couldn't keep enough files in its context window to understand the full scope of the refactor, so it…

Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

I have spent a long time working in an XP/TDD style, so when AI coding tools became useful enough for real work, I adopted them quickly. The first bottleneck I hit was not code generation, it was verification: AI could write code and tests quickly, but I was still the person reviewing implementations, clicking through flows, checking logs, inspecting database state, and deciding whether the result was actually correct. That pushed me to move validation further left. Before implementation, AI had to produce test plans. After implementation, it had to execute those plans too: drive the…
