Are there any companies who are anti-AI?

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 4:07pm

Claude is arguably the best AI tool out there, however I am seeing many developers submitting garbage PRs and losing the ability to code without AI. I use AI out of pressure from the company, but I am already a high performance developer who is now overwhelmed on top of the existing burnout and AI is taking away the joy of coding.

AI also increases human impact on climate change and citizens are paying the cost through water competition with data centers and increasing electricity costs. Not to mention that Hegseth may have used AI to determine targets to strike in Iran resulting in school girls losing their lives.

Are there any companies who believe that clean code, design patterns, cookie cutter code snippets, etc performs better and is cheaper than AI?

Show HN: VaultNote – Local-first encrypted note-taking in the browser

Fri, 03/06/2026 - 2:22pm

Hi HN,

I built VaultNote, a local-first note-taking app that runs entirely in the browser.

Key ideas:

- 100% local-first: no backend or server - No login, accounts, or tracking - Notes stored locally in IndexedDB / LocalStorage - AES encryption with a single master password - Tree-structured notes for organizing knowledge

The goal was to create a simple note app where your data never leaves your device. You can open the site, enter a master password, and start writing immediately.

Since everything is stored locally, VaultNote also supports import/export so you can back up your data.

Curious to hear feedback from the HN community, especially on:

- the security approach (local AES encryption) - IndexedDB storage design - local-first UX tradeoffs

Demo: https://vaultnote.saposs.com

Thanks!
