Show HN: Benchmark your eng team's AI agent maturity in 5 minutes

Tue, 07/14/2026 - 2:48am

we had hundreds of discussions with engineering leaders over the past few months, and everyone's trying to understand where they are in the AI journey.

we collected all this data into a benchmark and built a free grader to let you know where you stand.

you answer on a 1–5 scale (e.g., autonomy runs from "suggestions only" to "agents own multi-hour workflows across code, infra, and external systems") - takes about 5 minutes.

waiting for your results!

Anthropic banned my thirteen 20x accounts, what now?

Tue, 07/14/2026 - 2:39am

Firstly, FAFO, I get it.

I was using 13 Claude Code 20x subscriptions. Fable on ultra code.

First, yes it was excessive. Yes I was using ultra code for everything unnecessarily, just because I cbf and the cost/month was low for my business.

With that out of the way, Anthropic rejected my ban appeal.

It was all personal use, just me, doing stuff for my business, I have no employees.

Regardless, appeal rejected, no reason given, and any account I create now gets instantly banned.

I’ve tried using a VPN, and different credit cards, but my accounts get banned really quickly.

The thing that’s unclear, is what exactly is banned? My company? Me personally? My billing address?

Am I not allowed to create any new accounts? And what is it that makes them able to detect any new accounts.

I suspect it’s my chrome profile or something like that, that’s the last thing I’ve been unwilling to change just due to the amount of effort in converting.

Anyway, just looking for advice, I’m just wanting one working account.

————

If you’re curious why I was using so many, it was just doing analysis of multiple Shopify stores, Google ads, meta ads, seo… Just a lot of iterations of statistical analysis for ecommerce stuff (stock forecasting, freight routing optimisation, freight aggregation, container load planning, accounting blah blah blah) many of these tasks were overkill, but running 10-15 Claude code terminals at one time, it was just easier to put everything on ultra so I didn’t have to hold Claude’s hand. Set a goal, define it really clearly, and let it run overnight.)

Show HN: DriftTrip – A Virtual Road Trip

Tue, 07/14/2026 - 2:36am

I've always loved the idea of taking a "virtual road trip" between 2 cities. You get to experience the tourism ads or other short-form videos at each "stop" along the way.

I hope others enjoy it as well :)

I want to build an OTT app. Where should I start?

Tue, 07/14/2026 - 2:36am

I am planning to build an OTT (video streaming) app.

I am trying to understand the best approach.

Should I build everything from scratch using cloud services and open-source components, or is it more practical to use white-label OTT builders?

I am aware of the marketing challenges but I am not aware of all technical challenges.

Show HN: Themis – Self-hosted AI code reviews with your own keys and models

Tue, 07/14/2026 - 2:34am

Hey HN,

I wasn't happy with the code review tools we use at work and on my side projects. Noisy, reviews in surface, expensive (overkill for sides). So since Gemini was getting sunsetted, I explored having my own.

As I am a cheap rat, this weekend I built Themis, that works with my Codex/Claude subscriptions (I understood "claude -p" is ok again in subscriptions).

I wanted it open-source so it can help other indie devs or small teams, self-hostable (or local), drawing from subs and mostly, configurable so it works well with your own repos.

No big ambitions nor 1 billion startup here, just fun (so please don't roast ahah). If it is useful to even a few people, that's already great.

Happy to have feedback (especially on distributing the app!)

Ps: 1st HN contrib, hope it's the right format
