    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…

    Claude Cowork just launched, bringing agentic AI to everyday work. Rowboat is an open-source alternative that builds knowledge that persists over time. A quick demo is here: https://youtu.be/T2Bmiy05FrI It connects to Gmail and meeting notes (Granola, Fireflies) and organizes them into an Obsidian-compatible vault. Plain Markdown files with backlinks, organized around things like people, projects, organizations, and topics. As new emails and meetings come in, the right notes update automatically. Rowboat is also the primary interface for this vault. You can read, navigate,…
