  Ductape – Build back end integrations once, reuse them anywhere2025 · ductape.app · ▲29

  Hey HN, We built Ductape to make backend integrations reusable and environment-agnostic. You define the logic once (e.g. payments, auth, notifications) and externalize provider-specific stuff like API keys, endpoints, and retries into a config. That logic can then be reused across services, projects, and environments without rewriting code. It’s like decoupling your service logic from your infrastructure. You can even switch providers by changing config, not code. We’re using it to save time, reduce bugs, and simplify service expansion. Curious what you think. We’ve been building quietly and…

  Ductwork – A Go platform for running AI agents on autopilotMar 2026 · github.com · ▲5

  I've been running Claude agents for various automation tasks — monitoring crypto news, syncing Todoist, running health checks — and I kept hitting the same problem: there's no clean way to deploy an agent that just runs on a schedule without a human babysitting it. Every agent framework I looked at was built around chat interfaces or one-shot workflows. I wanted something closer to cron for AI agents — define a task, give it a schedule, let it run forever. So I built Ductwork. You define tasks as simple JSON files — a prompt, a schedule, optional memory and skills — and ductwork handles…

  I wrote a book for engineers that want to become engineering managers▲695

  Hey folks. Last year I was fortunate enough to sign a deal to write a book with my favorite technical publisher, The Pragmatic Bookshelf. When I started out as an Engineering Manager many years ago, I found that there wasn't a huge amount of material that specifically and practically helped me understand how to do my job. When you learn to program there's all of these amazing tutorials, examples and guides, but what was there for new managers? In response to this, a couple of years ago I started a blog over at https://www.theengineeringmanager.com which got a decent amount of…
