Anyone else seeing this culture shift?
Has anyone else noticed the shift in culture across the tech industry lately? It feels like things are getting pretty unsustainable. Deadlines are becoming more and more unrealistic, and people are being pushed to work 12-hour days just to keep up with the fast pace of teams at FAANG companies. The focus seems to be all about quick fixes and short-term solutions, which ends up just creating more technical debt down the road.
And don’t get me started on the management. It’s become top-heavy, with lots of micromanaging, while the same managers are always saying they’re “too busy” with other meetings—meetings they don’t even attend or get involved in. Daily stand-ups, often disguised as other meetings, have become routine, but all they do is create a more competitive environment that pressures teams into prioritizing speed over quality and sustainability.
To top it off, headcounts are shrinking as people are poached for AI projects or shrunk because of tightening budgets. It’s all contributing to a pretty toxic work culture, where unrealistic expectations, poor management, and fewer resources are making it harder to maintain long-term quality. The whole vibe of the industry seems to be more focused on hitting short-term goals than on building a healthy, sustainable work environment for the future.

Show HN: Hooksy – The Toaster Oven of Webhooks (Simple, but gets the job done)
You know how everyone says "build what you know"? Well, I’ve been down the webhook rabbit hole before. I built Webhooks for Sheets, a Google Workspace add-on that generates free webhooks… but only for Google Sheets. This little side project got over >150k installs (no joke!), but here’s the thing: that’s a vanity number. If one person installs it as an admin in a big org, boom — the number goes up. But the real insight? It came from the emails I received.
I got tons of messages from users asking about missing features, bugs, and the challenges of the Apps Script ecosystem. For example, there’s the whole issue with not being able to set specific response codes. These were my real insights into the user base — and it made me realize that people are really just looking for a simple solution to log webhook data in the tools they already use.
People love simple solutions. They want to log webhook data to their tool of choice without paying $$$ to tools like Zapier or Make.com. So, I thought, why not build something that does just that?
And that's how Hooksy was born!
