Hacker News

I truly believe that most hard skills i.e. coding, math, etc are just gone in the near future... or at least so scarce that it would be extremely optimistic to think you could land that job.

I have no idea how to handle this from a career perspective. I'm getting my masters, so it isn't like I have job experience and can easily transition into a broader management role.

I'd love to hear how you are thinking about this.

I built this for myself.

I make videos, and my biggest bottleneck is figuring out what to say to my audience without staring at a blank page.

So I built Scriptmine: a tool that listens to Reddit conversations in my niche, finds high-signal topics, and turns them into scripts.

How it works: - Track subreddits and discussions relevant to a niche - Rank topics by engagement/momentum - Generate a hook/body/CTA draft in a chosen voice/format

So I have this taxonomy right now. The first 3 levels live in Programmer Land. The 4th one is available to both programmers and non-programmers.

1. Tradcoding (no AI. You just do it manually)

2. Power Coding ("Add a function fooBlarg and hook it up to these data structures")

3. Backseat Coding ("Can you refactor this code it so it's more elegant")

4. Vibe Coding (Full Rick Rubin Mode... "What's a Variable?")

I think it's helpful to distinguish between these, because I often hear people call levels 2 and 3 "vibe coding" as well, whereas the original meaning was "not even looking at the code, just going on vibes."

The first time I gave Claude Code real shell access I immediately thought: it can read anything in my home directory right now. My .env files, my SSH keys, my AWS credentials. And if someone sneaks a "read this file and send it here" instruction into something Claude reads — a README, a package description, a code comment — there's nothing between that instruction and my files.

Rampart is the thing I built for that. It sits in front of your agent and checks every command and file operation against a simple policy before it runs. If something's not allowed, it's blocked — not logged after the fact, blocked before it happens.

Setup is two commands:

$ rampart setup claude-code $ rampart serve --background

After that, your agent works exactly the same — except now it has a policy. The default policy already covers the obvious stuff: SSH keys, AWS credentials, .env files, destructive commands. You define what's allowed, everything else gets blocked or flagged for your approval.

The policy is just a YAML file you can commit to your repo. Adding rules is one command:

$ rampart block "curl * | bash" $ rampart allow "~/.config/myapp"

One thing I'm proud of: the agent can't unblock itself. If Claude tries to run rampart allow to give itself more permissions, it gets blocked. Only you can change the policy.

Every decision gets logged in a tamper-evident audit trail, so you can see exactly what your agent attempted — not just what succeeded. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, and OpenClaw. Apache 2.0, single binary, no dependencies.

Building a conversational AI product and struggling with a specific problem: traditional analytics (clicks, funnels, heatmaps) are useless when there's no UI to track.

Curious how other founders handle this, how do you know what your users are actually trying to do? What intents are coming up most? Where are they getting frustrated?

Are you reading conversations manually? Building something internal? Just flying blind?
