Hi hn,

This post is missing from November and December 2025 from the usual whoishiring account [0], is this gone?

I'm aware that the latest posts barely got any comments looking for freelancers and the market sucks, still, I think that those posts are helpful.

AI coding assistants are productive but sloppy. They produce code that looks right but:

- Imports packages that don't exist - Uses placeholder functions that do nothing - Leaks patterns from JavaScript, Java, Ruby into Python - Leaves behind dead code and duplicates - Uses mutable default arguments

I built sloppylint to catch these "AI slop" patterns before they hit production.

     pip install sloppylint
     sloppylint .

It detects 100+ patterns across categories: - Hallucinated imports (20% of AI imports reference non-existent packages) - Placeholder code (`pass`, `...`, `TODO`) - Wrong-language patterns (.push(), .equals(), .forEach()) - Mutable defaults, bare excepts, dead code

This isn't a replacement for traditional linters - it catches the specific mistakes AI makes that humans wouldn't.

I built it for myself. After a lot of iterations, this is getting some traction.

It helps me organize my personal life.

Still trying to figure out what else it needs to do, and what can be improved.

Please provide feedback!

Hi HN,

I solo-developed a Python tool that automatically finds and extracts key gameplay moments from long Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 gameplay videos. Saving hours of manual scrubbing through VODs to find highlights, kills, and other events.

The tool does these things:

Ingests long-form gameplay videos.

Applies computer vision to detect (kills, deaths, medals)

Generates raw highlight clips or compilations without needing manual trimming. Output: individual clips or a concatenated compilation

Performs bulk BO6 VODs analysis on a full Twitch channel.

GitHub (work in progress or demo repo): [https://github.com/karimm-ai/NiceShot_AI]

Would definitely love any feedback regarding the tool or monetization methods.

Thanks.

We were using Sprinto for compliance automation for a year or so. But in our recent renewal we ran into a technical issue related to payment therefore I notified their customer success manager about the issue, which they acknowledged. However, someone from their finance team who super privilege access disabled our account as due date had passed. We begged them to enable our account, which the team took almost 24h to respond to and upto 48h to resolve.

As we operate in regulated space, this was nightmare, therefore we decided to let them know that we were going to terminate the service due to breach of trust and started looking for another oem.

However, their team now tells us termination for convenience is not allowed according to their terms of service and that we have to pay the full year contract regardless of whether we use it or not. We believe we terminated due to breach of trust. They have also threaten us to take legal action if we do not pay in next 7 days.

We believe they are not operating in good faith, bullying us into paying for a situation they have created.

We also believe that their regular employee have extended access into data of their customers which honestly makes us uncomfortable to operate with them.

The number we have to pay is around $4000 which I believe is not too much.

Question here is that should we standup against their bullying, malpractice and fight. And is it worth fighting for and pay their contract.

Please advice. We are smaller startup compared to Sprinto which has raised millions of dollars.

I'm curious about how everyone is using AI lately.

- Is every team member using their own editor/CLI?

- Is there any sort of alignment across the team? Like using a shared memory bank for the whole project?

- What about rule files? Does the project have a main rules file, or does everyone just use their own private/local rules file?

I really want to understand the nuances here, what works for you personally versus what works for the team.

Is there an industry standard emerging yet? or do you think people are still trying to figure it out?

I’m asking because it feels like in some workplaces/companies, it's treated like a forbidden topic (which is crazy).
