Codemaxxed – 350M+ LOC and a GitHub cease and desist
Built this code art project as a commentary on the recent wave of using LOC as a primary measure of engineering productivity It's now up to 350M lines of useless (but hopefully funny) code, constantly growing using GitHub actions and https://github.com/jshchnz/codemaxxing Unfortunately, GitHub has now sent me a notice to remove the repo within the next 14 days, so enjoy it while you can
Codemaxxed – 350M+ LOC and a GitHub cease and desist launched on April 17, 2026 with 5 votes, #1,846 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

Just out here trying to see how many lines of slop we can get to as quickly as possible. Built with codemaxxing — a CLI tool purpose-built to generate the maximum possible lines of code and commits in minimum time. codemaxxing --lines 1000000 --turbo --sanity 30 One command. One million lines. Zero value delivered. The --sanity 30 means roughly 70% of the code uses variable names like Skibidi , Ligma , and xX_Destroyer_Xx , while the remaining 30% maintains a thin veneer of corporate respectability. This repo grows automatically every 30 minutes via GitHub Actions. It will never stop. Can I contribute? Only if your PR adds lines. We don't do deletionsfrom github.com

- WSWe scaled Git to support 1 TB repos2022 · xethub.com · ▲279
I’ve been in the MLOps space for ~10 years, and data is still the hardest unsolved open problem. Code is versioned using Git, data is stored somewhere else, and context often lives in a 3rd location like Slack or GDocs. This is why we built XetHub, a platform that enables teams to treat data like code, using Git. Unlike Git LFS, we don’t just store the files. We use content-defined chunking and Merkle Trees to dedupe against everything in history. This allows small changes in large files to be stored compactly. Read more here:…
I tried to reverse engineer Claude Code usage limitsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲5I hit my Claude Code usage limit yesterday in the middle of regular work. Not doing anything unusual - just a couple of coding sessions. It felt like it came out of nowhere. Then today Anthropic announced they're tightening 5-hour limits during peak hours. It feels like a rug pull is coming and we're all just supposed to accept "you've used too much" with no explanation of what "too much" means. Usage limits have always been opaque. A vague percentage bar. No dollar figure. No formula. No way to plan your work around it. So I built a proxy that captures the rate-limit headers Anthropic sends…

I believe I am the first human to have done this in a documented, verifiable way: maintaining a stable production-grade 500,000-line TypeScript codebase as a solo developer, using an AI coding assistant I built myself. If you know someone who has done the same, one person, 500k lines, documented proof, please write their name in the comments.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
