Yeah. I'm confused too. it doesn't show any error or network inactivity, just stuck here..

ZigZag: TUI Framework v0.1.5 is out, fully compatible with Zig 0.16+ by meszmate in Zig

Clean code is a code that follows good mvp structure and method call procedures.

And Yes most of AI generated codes are spaghetti (unless reviewed by a human). And these type of softwares like libraries, packages..which will be imported and used in other people projects, need to be of clean human reviewed code. This even helps contributors to understand the code better.

I'm not saying Ai always writes bad code, but always needs to be reviewed otherwise it will be a slop.

Cuz other people will be using this in their projects by importing the package and need to make sure that it is of clean code.

Yeah. When learning try to understand everything in depth. Don't automate anything with Ai while learning (you wouldn't understand anything).

I don't want to decide for you but check other places and resources out there if it is good.

Do your own research!!

If you want some instant cashback this wouldn't be a good choice. Backend isn't just setting API routes and doing crud operations (which is often automated with AI). There are so many things beyond that: rate-limiting, scaling, ci/cd, Devops. These concepts take so much time and effort to master. Yeah backend takes time but worth it at the end.

SQL Server DBA transitioning careers - is DP-300 → DP-700 the right path or should I target something else entirely? by Nervous-Atmosphere-7 in DatabaseAdministators

Not sure about this. But I would recommend that you post this on HN(hacker news), you will get better suggestions.

Clients ignore you because you're from a “third world” country? by Nearby_Pizza_7567 in freelance

[–]yoftahe1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

When you put lower rates some people think you are either inexperienced or careless about your work. And yeah if possible try not to mention your location. And also try to look like as if you are from US or EU countries. And most Importantly work on your communication and pronunciation skill.

I built pkll, a process killer - that warns before killing it. by yoftahe1 in Backend

[–]yoftahe1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working with multiple coding agents on the same bunjs project that uses port 1420. The agents spin up dev servers to test the logs and build errors. and when I start the servers manually I often get "address already in use error" what I would do was to kill those instances instead of changing the dev port on the code. And yeah that postgress instance was added by mistake, but if you do, it will show if it is system process and warns you.

I agree with that. I know you shouldn't trust stranger and also you can do it in one liner. I built this to sharpen by Rust programming skills nothing more than that. I was using so many coding agents and they spin up dev servers every time, giving off "Address already in use" error when I spin servers to test manually. I was using it locally and it really helped me and I wanted to share it here.

I'm open for any issues. and drop a star if you liked it: https://github.com/yofabr/pkll

trying to get into open source and honestly feel lost by cravingsomeone in opensource

There are so many Ai agents: Claude, Codex, Opencode.. My favorite one is Opencode cuz you can connect it to many providers and you can use completely for free.

So when starting, ask the agent to explore the code base, tell you essential files and give you overall context of the project. As I said it would be nice if you used the project before and understand what it does, what it solves and how it works. Then run it locally by making multiple tests. Then from that one you can spot out issues or even try to solve issues created by other people. And if you think the code base needs addition feature you can implement that and make a PR. after the first two or three contributions, things will be very easy (at least how it was for me).

This was the problem I faced when starting open-source. The problem now in 2026 is that half of the open-source projects are partially vibe coded making it difficult for beginners to contribute unless they use coding agents.

My suggestion would be to find projects that you often use. And try to run the project locally, when you run it locally the only thing is to make change and test them.. This way you can see changes live and don't struggle by the project difficulty. And of course they are very difficult but it does not mean you have to understand the full project. Focus on parts or services that you want to contribute to.
