Show HN: Zsh-copilot – How we all expected GitHub Copilot in the CLI to be

Hacker News - Thu, 04/04/2024 - 8:07am

When I heard about GitHub Copilot being available in the CLI, I thought we'd get something we could run directly in the shell. Since we didn't get that, I created it myself in form of a zsh plugin.

Ask HN: How to terminate an employee with mental health issues?

Hacker News - Thu, 04/04/2024 - 7:56am

As in the title, I lead a small company. We currently employ 35 employees. I genuinely care about each and every member of my staff. The people who work for us seem to be happy. We were all doing very well until a few months ago.

In February 2023, we hired John. John seemed like a perfect match for our team. He had the right experience and came highly recommended. The trial period went well, but as soon as it finished, John started calling in sick at least once a week. It became really bad, and he finally revealed that he's chronically ill and also struggles with severe mental health issues. He begged us not to fire him. We talked with his team and decided to give him a chance. We were very accommodating and as supportive as possible. Together with another member of the company, we spent many hours trying to figure out how to best help John in his unhappy circumstances.

Unfortunately, over a year later, this is not sustainable anymore. I will spare you the details, but John's behavior is really bad right now, and it's affecting other staff members. Terminating John's contract seems to be the only solution. We have a great legal team who told us how to handle it from a legal side. However, we are still concerned. It is so bad that we would not be surprised if John decides to harm someone or himself if he finds out that he lost his job. Also, we cannot fire him right away. His contract's cancellation notice is two months so he will be still here for two months after he finds out which is something we all dread. Any advice?

Show HN: I made a daily puzzle game about mixing colors

Hacker News - Thu, 04/04/2024 - 7:56am

While on paternal leave, I wanted to create a game my newborn daughter could eventually play and learn something from. I was heavily inspired by the daily puzzle games I consistently play such as Wordle and Strands.

Refractor is a game about connecting colored tiles together to reach all the goals. Use "refractor" tiles to combine two colors together but be careful not to trap yourself in! The game is won when all goals are fulfilled.

The tech stack is: Laravel + Inertia, React + TypeScript, and DaisyUI + TailwindCSS.

Open to any questions or feedback. Hope you might find it interesting!
