Aaron Swartz's domain aaronsw.com has expired

Hacker News - Fri, 10/09/2026 - 3:41pm

Aaron Swartz's personal site now shows an expired-domain page. WHOIS says it expired Sept 29 (registered via Hover/Tucows). It's probably still in the grace period, so his family or estate can still renew it. If anyone is connected to them, please inform them. I read his blogs often, they mean a lot to me and I am upset about this.

Show HN: Pullboard – An agent development workflow that builds itself

Hacker News - Fri, 10/09/2026 - 2:46pm

I needed to trust my agents to write proper code and worked out an Agentic Item Lifecycle (AILC) that works for me, within an Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC). My flavor of all this may not be "correct" but it works, and it helped me build out a quant trading system. That system is now roughly 500K LOC and runs across more than a dozen Mac minis. It trades autonomously, runs dozens of strategies, and must work at market open.

Essential Loop:

claim -> build -> verify (different agent reviews, see website.)

Primitive Concepts:

https://pullboard.dev/tutorials/

What makes this workflow valuable is the "Agentic Institutional Knowledge" that gets built up over time outside the codebase in the Pullboard history; e.g., items, shouts and doctrine all get referenced, discussed and lessons remain available to future agents instead of disappearing into old chats. The best part is I hardly re-explain myself.

You do have to steer agents and make decisions, but this is quite nearly autonomous development. Anyways it is early and open source. Feedback welcome. Thank you!!
