I’ve been working at YC-backed startups since graduating from university. I’m now at a company building a deeply distributed systems product, and I’m surrounded by incredibly talented engineers who seem exceptionally strong at what they do. They often have knowledge and intuition about things I barely understand.

Lately, I’ve been feeling inadequate — like I’m contributing more to the less exciting parts of the product rather than the “cool” or core engineering challenges.

On top of that, I’m an immigrant and my wife and I are expecting. Balancing that with a fully remote job has been difficult, and at times I feel like I’ve lost some of my competence or sharpness. I’m taking steps to address this — I’ll be speaking with a psychologist soon — but I genuinely wonder: how does someone overcome these feelings while working within a high-functioning engineering team?

I use Claude and Codex heavily for coding, and I kept burning through my quota halfway through the week. When I looked at my logs, most of my prompts were things like "summarize this," "reformat this JSON," or "write a docstring." Stuff that any small model handles fine.

So I built NadirClaw. It's a Python proxy that sits between your app and your LLM providers. It classifies each prompt in about 10ms and routes simple ones to Gemini Flash, Ollama, or whatever cheap/local model you want. Only the complex prompts hit your premium API.

It's OpenAI-compatible, so you just point your existing tools at it. Works with OpenClaw, Cursor, Claude Code, or anything that talks to the OpenAI API.

In practice I went from burning through my Claude quota in 2 days to having it last the full week. Costs dropped around 60%.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doramirdor/NadirClaw/main/... | sh

Still early. The classifier is simple (token count + pattern matching + optional embeddings), and I'm sure there are edge cases I'm missing. Curious what breaks first, and whether the routing logic makes sense to others.

I created a free, open-source browser game inspired by Factorio.

You place "Input" machines that produce streams of bytes. You use conveyor belts to feed those bytes through other machines which produce transformations, and then to "Output" machines which produce audio or visual effects.

The game uses v86 to run a real Linux VM in the browser. I use the 9p filesystem to enable IPC via FIFO pipes, so shell commands can stream data continuously rather than just running once.

Features: - 30+ machine types (sources, filters, routers, packers, audio synthesis, displays) - "Command" machines that pipe data through real shell commands - Streaming mode for persistent processes - Shareable factories via URL - Chiptune audio engine (oscillators, Game Boy noise channel) + additional 808 drum machine

Try the presets in the menu bar (top left) to see what's possible. Requires WASM and may take a moment to load on slower connections.
