Show HN: "Is This Tech Dead?" A snarky autopsy engine for programming tools
Hi HN,
I made isthistechdead.com — a site that performs digital autopsies on programming languages, frameworks, and tech tools.
We assign each one a Deaditude Score based on actual public data from: •GitHub: stars, forks, commits, last rites •Stack Overflow: unanswered questions and silence •Google Jobs: open listings or lack thereof •Reddit / Hacker News / YouTube: community pulse, or the lack of one •StackShare: whether it’s still on the tech resume of doom
We also do things like: •Track historical decay trends •Let users “Press F to Pay Respects” (yes, there’s a counter) and my supabase bill is exploding •Auto-generate Open Graph images for viral sharing •Publish a monthly tech obituary newsletter (now limited to 100 subscribers, cause I'm cheap)
This project started as a joke. Then I spent a week building a weighted scoring system, tuning signal ratios, and writing data ingestion scripts like a mad epidemiologist of software rot.
Tech stack: •Next.js (fully ISR with very few dynamic components) •Supabase for data storage & APIs •Python for crawling & metrics •Github for the cron (although I'm cron it manually now) •Tailwind + Framer Motion •And lots of caffeine and regret
It’s satire. But the data’s real. Would love your feedback on: •The scoring logic •What data sources I missed •And which beloved framework you want me to offend next
Cheers,

Ask HN: How to limit AI coding tools access to the file system?
Hello HN, is there a way to prevent AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code from having access to the whole file system, and limit them to the project directory?
I am asking as someone who works for many clients and on their own projects on the same computer and who is still hesitating to install these tools.
