Show HN: Kanban-md – File-based CLI Kanban built for local agents collaboration
I built kanban-md because I wanted a simple local task tracker that works well for the agent loop: drop tasks in, run multiple agents in parallel, avoid collisions, and observe progress easily.Tasks are just Markdown files (with YAML frontmatter) in a `kanban/` next to your code — no server, no DB, no API tokens. Simple, transparent, future-proof.What makes it useful for multi-agent workflows:- *Atomic `pick --claim`* so two agents don’t grab the same task.- *Token-efficient `--compact` out
Ask HN: What to do instead of giving up on tech
I was fired from the fintech I used to work for last November, being a senior site reliability engineer. I was already pretty unmotivated about working in tech since ChatGPT appeared, and the emotional burden of being fired just made things worse. Even though I love computers and computer science (and infrastructure, my area of expertise), I grew to hate the tech market so much. Nothing I did seemed to bring me any joy or brainfood and nothing I did seemed good enough.Finding a job is very bad.
Show HN: I built an open-source Gmail productivity app that auto-labels emails
I was drowning in email. Not the usual "too many emails" problem , I had a system, I had labels, but I was manually dragging hundreds of emails into folders every single day.Gmail filters work great if your emails follow predictable patterns.

Writing regex patterns for everything felt like a part-time
Having a well paid side-hustle while working in tech leadership
I have been running a side-hustle SaaS for the last 7 years that has finally reached mid 6 figures. I am in a niche so further growth is unlikely. My time commitment is probably 10h a week (weekends) and I have one employee.I do have a full-time career as a tech exec with mid 6 figures as well and maybe on the path to low 7 in the next 5 years.I generally love to work and don't plan to stop, I am pretty good at avoiding burn out.I do have a question for those who build a successful side hus
Ask HN: How to handle a 'Junior' title when Im doing Mid-level work? Time to go?
Hey all,Don't have many tech people to talk to so thought I would ask here.So to summarize, I was in BI from 2022 until 2025 when i transitioned to a junior software dev job. I wasn't in a great position when I got the offer, so I had to accept a lowball offer (~75k). A year and a month pass, I ask for $100k and a title change from junior and am told no title change and 10% raise. 100k is the average in my area for software developers.I don't think this is fair since I do full sta
