Ask HN: How are you preventing brainrot?

Hey there, full time software engineer of around 6 years here (post-grad). I’m using Claude Code half of the day now at work, I just can’t keep up with my team if I were to stop coding with AI. I’m more “productive” but my brain feels less sharp and am curious how others are staying sharp, I guess I just need to allocate time to learning new things again but wondering how others are dealing with this. Thanks!

Ask HN: What is next after your launch doesn't go as planned?

Nobody talks about the week after a launch that lands flat.You refresh the analytics. A few hundred visitors, a handful of signups, and then nothing. And the questions start. Was it the timing? The wording on the landing page? The video? Or is it the product, the one you spent months building and thought you had validated?That last one is the one that actually hurts, because it makes you rethink every decision you were confident about a week ago.I think the answer is to go back to the data and f

Show HN: NestForge, true-shape nesting in the browser, every layout re-verified

I come at this from the software side, not the workshop side. I kept seeing laser and plasma people complain about nesting tools that crash on real-world DXF exports or quietly produce layout they didn't fully trust, so I built NestForge: a true-shape nesting studio that runs entirely client-side (Rust compiled to WASM), with one design decision I'd like feedback onThe core idea: the optimizer is never trusted. After nesting, a second, independently implemented validator re-checks the

Show HN: 8-player survival Pong, the arena loses a wall every time someone loses

hey hn, here a game I always wanted to make. Every player defends one wall of a polygon, eight players, eight sides. When you lose your wall shatters and the arena closes the gap, so the shape keeps shrinking.Dying doesn't put you in a spectator seat. You come back as a saboteur, dropping bumpers, gravity wells and spinner bars on whoever's still alive. It's usually the part people like more than playing.It went around Reddit last week — about 30k plays so far, up to 80 simultane
