> They started getting inverted signals because the hardcore vibecoders knew all the tricks to brute force the problem with high token spend. They'd do things like spend the interview trying to spin up parallel subagents to brute force a solution.

Can’t you just…tell them not do this? Or give them limited model access instead of full Claude Code / Codex?

That is crazy. Curious - are you planning on raising to the board, administrators, etc? It's probably impacting other students (who don't have a parent checking their work), and teachers of other subjects in the school may be doing the same thing

FanPad | Founding Engineer | REMOTE (we are a fully remote company) | Full-Time

We're building a web platform to help musicians find out who their top fans are, and then engage with them, reward them, and monetize them. We just raised our first round of funding - and are focused on adding new product features, and scaling to handle larger artists.

We're looking for a founding engineer to work alongside me (technical - spends most of my time writing code) and the founder (non-technical). The ideal candidate would be a self-sufficient full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience, an interest in music, and some experience working with AWS or a different cloud platform - but don't let not exactly matching this description keep you from reaching out!

Our tech stack: Angular, .NET, Postgres, AWS

We offer competitive salary + equity. If you're interested, please reach out to me at: alex at fanpad dot xyz

So you want to work on AI

Nice! Wish I could use it - but I'm checking for available wilderness permits not campground permits (in Yosemite to hopefully hike the John Muir Trail this summer)

Do you mind sharing a link? Wrote a python script to do the same thing for myself

New comment by adavid17 in "Show HN: I'm building an open-source Amazon"

So this is really a open-source Shopify replacement, right? An OMS that lets you sell on multiple channels (website, Amazon, Instagram, Etsy…) and manage/fulfill those orders in one location?

I was confused at first by your title (open source Amazon) which seemed like it was going to be a e-commerce marketplace like Amazon.com - but it seems like that’s the 2nd step.

Why does a new e-commerce marketplace also require a new open-source OMS? OMS’s have a lot of seller lock-in, but it seems like way less lift to have OpenSourceAmazon.com be a channel sellers using Shopify’s OMS can sell on with a few simple steps on Shopify.
