Cynical Sally CLI

Cause "You're absolutely right" is probably absolutely wrong

Cynical Sally CLI launched on April 1, 2026 with 13 votes, #1,135 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

What it does

Your AI pair programmer agrees with everything you write. Sally doesn't. 6 tools in your terminal and IDE: roast your code (scored 0-10 with real fixes), explain legacy spaghetti, refactor with before/after diffs, review PRs before you merge, brainstorm architecture, and audit your frontend. One command: npx @cynicalsally/cli roast Works as a CLI and MCP server in Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Built for developers who'd rather hear the truth than "looks great!" You've been warned

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

    Hi HN, We are the devs behind VibeShift. We have been building this MCP server to put AI coding assistants in an automatic feedback loop. They code, test, debug, fix everything until we have a fully working, secure code. It tests like a real user, copies network/console and logical errors to give them back to cursor. (1 min demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_RgQGa8B0) We felt this was the natural next step for AI coding assistants. And with new asynchronous assistants like codex, having a plug & play tester makes sure you don't have to spend time debugging and…

  • We built an AI to review your pull requests2025 · infinitcode.ai · ▲53

    Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…

  • Think, CL tool that makes AI your command line copilot (written in Go)2023 · github.com · ▲14

    Hi HN, I'm thrilled to share with you think, a command-line tool that I developed while diving back into the programming scene. For the past few years, my focus had shifted from hands-on programming to managerial roles, my last one being at Affirm (I started Affirm's Polish office). However, I recently left my job to revisit my passion for coding and see if I could still write code that works. Not to mention that with what is currently going on in AI if you are a developer this probably the best possible time for a sabbatical in human history :) My first attempt was with LangChain, but I…

    A passion project I started recently. Please submit your own (or any) website you suspect might score high as "AI-slop" and we'll publish a roast soon. Note that my goal is two-fold: I'll use (most) submitted websites in some research I'm going to be publishing later. Thanks!

  • 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.
