Ask HN: Doctor with software development experience – careers combining both?

Hacker News - Sat, 03/07/2026 - 4:22am

I’m a trained medical doctor currently working in clinical genetics.

At the same time, I’ve been programming on and off for about five years and spent over two years working full-time in an IT company as a front-end developer.

Despite being back in medicine, I constantly feel drawn back to programming. I enjoy building things, solving technical problems, and working with code.

I’m trying to figure out what the best direction forward might be. One option is to leave medicine and go fully into software again. But it feels like a waste not to somehow combine my medical background with my technical skills.

I’m not primarily interested in going down the data analyst route — I’d rather leverage my frontend/full-stack development skills if possible.

Are there career paths where medicine and software development meaningfully intersect? Has anyone here taken a similar path?

Show HN: µJS, a 5KB alternative to Htmx and Turbo with zero dependencies

Hacker News - Sat, 03/07/2026 - 3:59am

I built µJS because I wanted AJAX navigation without the verbosity of HTMX or the overhead of Turbo.

It intercepts links and form submissions, fetches pages via AJAX, and swaps fragments of the DOM. Single tag, one call to `mu.init()`. No build step, no dependencies.

Key features: patch mode (update multiple fragments in one request), SSE support, DOM morphing via idiomorph, View Transitions, prefetch on hover, polling, and full HTTP verb support on any element.

At ~5KB gzipped, it's smaller than HTMX (16KB) and Turbo (25KB), and works with any backend: PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, whatever.

Playground: https://mujs.org/playground

Comparison with HTMX and Turbo: https://mujs.org/comparison

About the project creation, why and when: https://mujs.org/about

GitHub: https://github.com/Digicreon/muJS

Happy to discuss the project.

Show HN: Micro Chat: Group Chat with AI

Hacker News - Sat, 03/07/2026 - 3:35am

A follow up to this thread where the CEO of fivetran asked anthropic to build group chat.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47280200&seen=177285783...

I don't know. I don't think this is novel or genuinely interesting but obviously there is a need and I'm sure there are lots of these chats with AI now available for teams. I got a Claude Max subscription recently for the open source project Go Micro so what better use than showcasing how you can use the framework for stuff like this...

Show HN: Affiliate programs from 1250 European infrastructure providers

Hacker News - Sat, 03/07/2026 - 3:35am

I've been building Voie — a directory of European infrastructure providers for developers who want to run on European rails.

One thing that kept coming up: people wanted to earn by recommending European tools they already use. So I mapped which providers have affiliate/partner programs and linked directly to their application pages.

No paid placement. No middleman. Just the programs that exist.

Show HN: OculOS – Any desktop app as a JSON API via OS accessibility tree

Hacker News - Sat, 03/07/2026 - 3:13am

Single Rust binary (~3 MB) that reads the OS accessibility tree and gives every UI element a REST endpoint. Click buttons, type text, toggle checkboxes — all via JSON. Works as an MCP server too, so Claude/Cursor/Windsurf can control any desktop app out of the box.

Windows + Linux + macOS. MIT licensed.

Ask HN: Best way to implement logging and audit trails for AI apps?

Hacker News - Sat, 03/07/2026 - 3:12am

so i’ve been experimenting with a small AI-based project recently and started thinking about logging around prompts, responses, and model calls etc etc.

for traditional systems observability tools handle most of this, but with LLM-based apps it feels less clear what the standard approach is, especially if you need proper audit trails for debugging or compliance.

curious how teams are handling this in production

are people mostly building their own logging pipelines, or are there reliable tools/platforms that help with storing and auditing LLM interactions?
