git add -p is the only built-in way to stage individual hunks, and it's interactive — you step through hunks one at a time answering "y/n/q/a/d/e/?". That works fine for humans at a keyboard, but it's completely unusable for LLM agents, shell scripts, and CI pipelines.

git-hunk is the non-interactive alternative. It gives every hunk a stable SHA-1 content hash, then lets you stage by hash:

$ git hunk list --oneline

a3f7c21 src/main.zig 42-49 if (flags.verbose) {… b82e0f4 src/parse.zig 15-28 fn parseArgs(alloc: … $ git hunk add a3f7c21

staged a3f7c21 → a3f7c21 src/main.zig The key design choice: hashes are computed from the immutable side's line numbers, so staging one hunk never changes another hunk's hash. This makes multi-step scripted workflows reliable — you can enumerate hunks, make decisions, then stage them without the targets shifting underneath you.

Other things it does: line-range selection (a3f7:3-5,8), --porcelain output for machine consumption, count for CI guards, check --exclusive for hash validation, stash individual hunks, and restore to selectively discard changes.

Single static binary, written in Zig, zero runtime dependencies beyond git itself. Install via brew install shhac/tap/git-hunk.

I built this because I was trying to run AI agents in parallel, and stuck to file-level editing they'd fight eachother over what changes they wanted to put into commits. Now I can have multiple agents work in parallel and commit cleanly without needing worktrees.

It has the same principles as openclaw, but has a custom stack of dozens of CLIs to integrate with LinkedIn, Instantly, Google Search Console, etc. without complex setups and a very low token burn. Just connect your Slack in 1 minute and start automating your entire company!

Hey HN,

We just launched a new landing page for Spidra (spidra.io) and I thought to share because we now have a sleek modern UI.

You may ask. What is Spidra? Well, it's an AI-powered web scraping platform, currently in public beta.

If you are conversant with using scraping packages or using other traditional scrapers, they break constantly. When a site redesigns, your selectors stop working.

Instead of CSS selectors, with Spidra you just describe what you want in plain English. For example, "Extract all product names and prices." The AI figures out where that data lives on the page and pulls it, even if the layout changes next week. We call it AI Mode.

What's included: - AI Scraper and AI Crawler (single pages or full domains) - Action sequences in plain English: click, scroll, type, wait. No selectors needed. - Built-in CAPTCHA solving, residential proxy rotation across 45+ locations, session and auth handling - REST API with async job polling so you can chain scrapes, loop results, build proper pipelines - Push results to JSON, CSV, Slack, Discord, Airtable, Google Sheets, or your own webhook

This is for developers building data pipelines or AI agents that need fresh web data. We also have a no-code playground for less technical users.

You can test Spidra on the free tier with 300 credits (no credit card needed).

I look forward to hearing what you think about our new landing page and the Spidra product. I am also happy to answer anything about how we handle anti-bot systems, the architecture, or how we compare to other tools in the space.

I feel like I’ve lost my ability to learn because of AI. It is now so easy to generate code that it feels meaningless to focus and spend time crafting it myself. I am deeply sad that we may be losing the craftsmanship side of programming; it feels less important to understand the fundamentals when a model can produce something that works in seconds. AI seems to abstract away the fundamentals.

One could argue that it was always like this. Low-level languages like C abstracted away assembly and CPU architecture. High-level languages abstracted away low-level languages. Frameworks abstracted away some of the fundamentals. Every generation built new abstractions on top of old ones. But there is a big difference with AI. Until now, every abstraction was engineered and deterministic. You could reason about it and trace it. LLMs, on the other hand, are non-deterministic. Therefore, we cannot treat their outputs as just another layer of abstraction.

I am not saying we cannot use them. I am saying we cannot fully trust them. Yet everyone (or maybe just the bubble I am in) pushes the use of AI. For example, I genuinely want to invest time in learning Rust, but at the same time, I am terrified that all the effort and time I spend learning it will become obsolete in the future. And the reason it might become obsolete may not be because the models are perfect and always produce high-quality code; it might simply be because, as an industry, we will accept “good enough” and stop pushing for high quality. As of now, models can already generate code with good-enough quality.

Is it only me, or does it feel like there are half-baked features everywhere now? Every product ships faster, but with rough edges. Recently, I saw Claude Code using 10 GiB of RAM. It is simply a TUI app.

Don’t get me wrong, I also use AI a lot. I like that we can try out different things so easily.

As a developer, I am confused and overwhelmed, and I want to hear what other developers think.
