About

I'm particularly interested in developer tools, automation, open-source projects, and the growing possibilities of AI-assisted development. Product Hunt is a great place to discover what other makers are building, find inspiration for new projects, and learn about tools that make developers more productive. I'm always interested in clever solutions, thoughtful engineering, and ideas that deserve to become real products.

The two hours I spent making something nobody asked for

I spent a whole Saturday building a small thing for myself. A little tool that solved an annoyance in my own workflow.

Nothing grand. No plan to release it. No thought about whether anyone else wanted it.

The code I read and the code I trust

I have noticed a split in myself that I am not proud of. I read the code I wrote by hand. I do not read the code the model writes for me. I just look at the result and decide if it seems right.

That is fine until it is not. And when it is not, I am in a stranger's house with no idea where the light switches are.

Hi everyone. I'm Paisley, a software developer, and I'm new here.

I spend most of my time in developer tools and automation the small, unglamorous stuff that removes a repeated task from your day and quietly gives you back an hour. I also care a lot about open source, and about what AI-assisted development is actually changing versus what people claim it's changing.

I joined because I wanted somewhere to see what other people are shipping, and to steal inspiration from builders who are solving problems I haven't even noticed yet.
