Paradigm

What it does

Paradigm is an interactive strategy and narrative simulation about running a software company as AI reshapes the market. Make decisions about product direction, hiring, customers, culture, and long-term strategy, with tradeoffs and consequences that unfold over time.

Paradigm is a game about managing a software company through the AI revolution. Can you successfully adapt to this new world?

Paradigm is a game about running a software company through the AI transition. Rather than presenting AI as a simple opportunity or threat, it explores the messier reality: trade-offs between speed and quality, innovation and stability, momentum and defensibility. As you move through the experience, you make a series of strategic decisions that shape the trajectory of your company. Some choices help in the short term but create longer-term fragility. Others preserve coherence, but at the cost of speed. The aim is not to provide easy answers, but to make the complexity of technological change feel tangible. Paradigm is really about strategic choices, positioning and operating models. This…from nolatency.co

  A simulator for engineers transitioning from IC to managementJan 2026 · apmcommunication.com · ▲74

  Hi HN, I’m a former C++ dev turned Product Manager. I’ve noticed many engineers struggle with the "politics" side of things when they become Leads. To help with this, I’m building a text-based simulator. It is NOT an AI chatbot. It is a hand-crafted, branching narrative (logic tree) based on real experiences. I just launched the first scenario: "The Backchannel VP." The Setup: Your VP Engineering is bypassing you and giving tasks directly to your juniors, causing chaos. Your Goal: Stop the backchanneling without getting fired. It’s a short, specific puzzle. I’d love to know if you think the…

  I built a text-based business simulator to replace video coursesJan 2026 · core-mba.pro · ▲90

  I am a solo developer, and I built Core MBA because I was frustrated with the "video course" default in business education. I wanted to build a "compiler for business logic"—a tool where I could read a concept in 5 minutes and immediately test it in a hostile environment to see if my strategy actually compiles or throws a runtime error. The project is a business simulator built on React 19 and TypeScript. The core technical innovation isn't just using AI; it's the architecture of a closed loop between a deterministic economic engine and a generative AI validation layer. The biggest technical…

  Parano.aiJun 2026 · parano.ai · ▲80

  Tracks competitors for changes (pricing, features, messaging, hiring etc) and delivers AI-summarized insights to your inbox. Built because manual competitive research breaks at scale. Markets move continuously but humans don't monitor consistently. Live at https://parano.ai Monitors full websites and other sources like social media / Github. Detects content-level changes, filters noise. The problem: Teams either do quarterly manual research (too slow) or set up Google Alerts (too noisy, misses subtle changes). We're in between—continuous monitoring with smart filtering. Would…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  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.
