So I'm involved in an open source AI cli coding assistant called Cecli (cecli.dev) which is specifically designed to work well with DeepSeek.

DeepSeek is a great model, and Cecli is all about efficiency. It works great for my purposes - agentic programming on a budget.

LOL DeepSeek V4 just reduced their price to less than $1 per million tokens for Pro and people are worried about Claude

Awww I have one of those. It still works after more than 10 years!

Maybe that's what happened, everyone who needed one bought and we don't need an upgrade


Same here. I really wanted Orange Pi to work, tried, but after getting my raspberry pi 4 it's night and day.


The battle of Hastings features prominently in my house, it's one of the first history subjects we taught the kids about.

I started learning CAD with Free cad and never looked back. Yes it's clunky but it's free, and does the job!


Looks like everyone is trying to solve the same problem - here is another example I've been trying to wrap my head around lately:

Brainfile - An open protocol for agent-to-agent task coordination.

Well worth a look imo


Cool! I wrote a similar blog post last year when I decided to "Cut GitHub out of the loop"

https://www.circusscientist.com/2025/07/23/cutting-github-ou...

My motivation was mainly the fact that Bitbucket cut their free tier, and who knows how long GitHub will be free? So I tried and found out how easy git actually is to sync without third parties


> and who knows how long GitHub will be free?

Apparently for as long as it will enable Microsoft to profit by training its LLMs on people's code.

For people uncomfortable with working on free/libre stuff with git directly I always suggest Codeberg as an alternative, but hands on git is also an excellent option.


There's a gap in the market here - not me but somebody needs to build an e-commerce bot and call it Santa Claws


Sandy Claws


Well now somebody will


Guaranteed some AI-bros have their "claws" scanning HN for both serious and non-serious business ideas like this.


I got into embedded 10 years ago, there really is something about driving hardware directly that is just so rewarding.

For AI I've been using Cecli which is cli and can actually run the compile step then fix any errors it finds - in addition to using Context7 MCP for syntax.

Not quite 10x yet but productivity has improved for me many times over. It's just how you use the tools available
