Show HN: Scrappy Free AI Code Assistant

UmGuys — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 02:09:48 +0000

I started this project 3 weeks ago with the goal of finishing before I start a new job tomorrow. I didn't meet the goal, but it's a pretty decent start. Scrappy is a CLI code assistant the runs entirely on free tier providers.

I'm sure my dev velocity will slow down now, but I'll keep at it. Please clone, fork, hack away!

That's shocking to me. Although it does make sense from a UX perspective as indexing can take minutes depending on the setup.

I'm not familiar with Claude's architecture, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't index your codebase for semantic search with the explore feature it has. How else would they find context? They already have a semantic search tool -- which is rag.

One hack is to end the prompt with: following solid architecture principles.

EG: Step 1: Define problem in PROBLEM.md Step 2: Ask agent to gather scope from codebase and update PROBLEM.md Step 3: Ask agent to create a plan following design and architecture best practices (solid, etc) and update PROBLEM.md Step 4: Ask agent to implement PROBLEM.md

KIDNAP: To abduct or confine (a person) forcibly, by threat of force, or by deceit, without the authority of law.

Care to explain the distinction? They have authority of law?? haha It's terrorism. No crime, no warrant, no due process. Obviously it's not kidnapping by law, because no law applies to ICE.

The apartment building scene was a mass kidnapping of US citizens. They've shot US citizens for recording their actions with live bullets, pepper balls, and gas grenade launchers. They tear gassed kids on the playground, attacked a Halloween parade, the horrors are endless.

This strategy is known as "disaster capitalism" and was explored by Naomi Klein in her book "The Shock Doctrine". Which details how UofChicago economists experimented on South America in addition to natural disasters, etc. The rich love to burn everything down so they can buy what's left for pennies. It's sick.

Everyone who works in tech knows this is true and has been happening for longer than described in the article. Since 2020, it feels like I've trained half of Bangalore on how to do our jobs.

The company sold an app and refuses to honor what users paid for. If this is allowed, it will become a strategy because it's profitable. Trick people to purchase, then add ads to the 'ad-free' app. There's no logic other than, "we can steal and no one will stop us." They should be forced to honor purchases or publish a new app.

I purchased this app way back in 2014 when I did Android dev FT. I had no idea about the history until recently when I began seeing ads. Comapnies should be prohibited by Google Play Store or someone else from rug pulls like this, otherwise it will become a normal business strategy. What's to stop someone from building an app fast by selling lifetime ad free, then when they build a user base, selling to a large company who does this? Nothing. That's what.

They should be forced to publish a new APK with a different name to change monetization strategies or honor what people paid for. This is fraud and theft.

How so? I thought I watched the monologue and didn't hear anything like that. Not even an implication.

It should not surprise you. They hold no position. In fact the positions they do hold are mostly lies (as we can see small gov, debt reduction, law and order). The only policies that are real are the evil ones: deploying military against civilians, transforming ICE into brutal terrorists, bankrupting the country through tax cuts, etc ... The GOP strategy has been to break the government, claim it doesn't work so they can defund it, foment fear and hatred, and flat out reject Democracy. Why? Because their policies are abhorrent and hateful and only help by a few rich "Christian" natrionalists.

This never occurred and you're completely full of it. No democratic government official ever pressured anyone to be cancelled.

What do the people claiming to be offended find offensive about it? I thought the issue was the orange one didn't like him and wanted him cancelled.

I disagree with your second point. I believe Utah, dislike Kimmel, and believe he said nothing wrong. In fact he pretty much stated facts with a sprinkle of his brand of comedy.

You're drifting into lalaland. It's very clear it was cancelled because of government action. Why are you making up weird stories. Everything has been reported.

For whatever reason you're trying to justifying government censorship. This article isn't about Kimmel it's about another show MAGA hates apparently. And the cult leader guy blew a hole threw your convoluted thesis yesterday when he openly admitted he disagrees with the first amendment.

It sounds like you're trying really hard to either: provide cover for racists, or more charitably cast good intentions on them. It's really simple: racism is hate and we shouldn't have hateful government. Also, this movement isn't organic the GOP have to manipulate people through fear or hate and fight tooth and nail to change rules just to win. America is dead at this point. It's unlikely to ever recover.

You have an extreme point of view. You literally lead with it should be okay to scream fire in a theatre. That's absurd. There was a fire, more than a million folks died, many rules were altered including operation warp speed. There's no real reason to even reply to this insanity. Good job troll.

You're spouting nonsense to conflate the contexts. Here we had the FCC guy directly threaten people, they immediately cancelled the show and I assume hundreds of people's jobs. Why? Because the authoritarian was displeased with how he was characterized. This is precisely why we formed America and the 1st Amendment.

It's the first time the government in the US has done this. 100%.

I see. You're trying to pretend that intentionally subverting public health measures should be free speech and that the Biden administration did something like what the authoritarians are doing now. I disagree, though I'm not super familiar with the government intervention or lack of during covid. I have no desire to discuss it as it has no relevance to this context.

You're lying by creating a false equivalence and don't deserve replies.
