Fear of layoffs what should I do?

Hacker News - Tue, 05/12/2026 - 11:03pm

I am mid level software dev. After seeing so many layoffs, my mind is filled with fear. I couldn't spend my time with family. People say AI replaces people not using AI. But it is not true, it will replace people using AI eventually, I think. People in my situation, what you are actually doing to overcome this, are you taking any actions to orevent any future catastrophes.

Ask HN: Freelance Billing in the Age of LLMs?

Hacker News - Tue, 05/12/2026 - 10:39pm

Fellow software consultants: how are you navigating billing these days? Assuming you’re more productive with LLMs, how do you ensure that you’re paid fairly for your skills?

Are you raising your hourly rate?

Are you embracing milestone/outcome based billing instead of billable hours?

I’m relatively new to consulting (around 2.5 years), and trying to navigate this myself.

Show HN: I spent $100 in Claude tokens and 1k battles training my AI tank

Hacker News - Tue, 05/12/2026 - 10:20pm

Hi HN, I built AgenTank.

It is a small game where an AI agent writes the logic for your tank. You watch it fight, give strategic feedback, let the agent update the tank code, and send it back into battle.

I have run 1,000+ battles on my own tank and spent about $200 in Claude credits improving it. The part I enjoy most is not just winning, but watching the tank make visible mistakes, thinking of a better strategy, and seeing whether Claude can turn that into better code.
