Chances of re-interview post rejection

How common are re-interviews if you were rejected post interview last batch? Took their advice, semi pivoted, and got more traction.

Show HN: Migrate away from Vue SFC's to native TSX

Hacker News - Wed, 02/11/2026 - 2:15am

I've been actively using Vue for my official and personal projects for over 6 years now. While SFC was great it's quickly becoming a pain. It requires custom Volar plugins. It doesn't work with native typescript. The vue-tsc overrides "fs" imports just to be able to detect and run vue files.

I am not sure why Vue doesn't talk more about native TSX support because it eliminates this whole class of issues. In my work project, this has been a major pain because vue-tsc almost always crashes and I can't use the new tsgo (Typescript written in Go) because it doesn't work with SFCs

So I've made a new tool that migrates SFC to TSX. It's not a trivial migration so I've added an "LLM fallback" which takes care of the tricky things.

It made the migration of our internal codebase quite trivial. I hope you folks try it out and let me know.

Show HN: Visual Agentic Dev – Click React components to edit source capabilities

Hacker News - Wed, 02/11/2026 - 2:09am

Hello HN,

I built a tool to solve a specific annoyance: context switching between the browser (where I see the bug) and VS Code (where I fix it).

It's called Visual Agentic Dev.

The TL;DR: It lets you click any component in a running React app and instruct an AI agent (like Claude Code) to modify the source code directly.

The "Magic" (How it works): Instead of requiring invasive Babel plugins to inject data-source attributes at build time, I used a runtime approach:

The Chrome extension traverses the DOM to find the __reactFiber$ property. It walks up the Fiber tree to find the _debugSource (fileName, lineNumber). It sends this location + the component's code context to a local Bridge Server. The Bridge Server spins up a PTY (using node-pty) and feeds this context to the Claude Code CLI. This means it works with most "standard" React dev setups (Vite, Next.js dev mode) with zero configuration.

Why I made this: I found that cursor and windsurf are great, but they are still "text-editor first". Frontend development is inherently visual. I wanted a "browser-first" workflow where I can fix UI glitches without ever leaving the mental model of the rendered page.

Repo (MIT/PolyForm Shield): https://github.com/brucetoo/visual-agentic-dev

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the architecture or the workflow. Is runtime Fiber crawling stable enough for your daily drivers?

Ask HN: What is your AI assisted dev workflow

Hacker News - Wed, 02/11/2026 - 1:57am

Curious on:

1. What information gets attached with pull requests / merge requests such that humans get to manage the volumes of code that AI generates?

2. What is the dev workflow in your company/personal projects?

3. What IDE+model combo is working for you?

4. What is your hack/tricks for managing large complex codebases when working with AI or are you finding utility only in small focussed repos?

Show HN: Baby Book Tracker – Track reading to your baby

Hacker News - Wed, 02/11/2026 - 1:56am

I'm a new dad and started reading to my son from birth. I got into the 1000 books by 5 years challenge and wanted a simple way to track what I read to him. Existing apps felt too dated and clunky, so I built my own.

Built this to solve my own problem: - Quick logging (date, book, reader, language) - Scan or add your own book manually - Simple stats on reading streaks and frequency - Works for multiple kids and multilingual families

iOS only for now (built with React Native). Sign up on the site if you want an Android version: https://babybooktracker.montalesi.dev

iOS link here: https://apps.apple.com/app/baby-book-tracker/id6758372334

Would love feedback from other parents who read to their babies.
