Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
I’m ready to retire. In my younger days, I remember a few pivotal moments for me as a young nerd. Active Server Pages. COM components. VB6. I know these are laughable today but back then it was the greatest thing in the world to be able to call server-side commands. It kept me up nights trying to absorb it all. Fast forward decades and Claude Code is giving me that same energy and drive. I love it. It feels like it did back then. I’m chasing the midnight hour and not getting any sleep.

Show HN: Jido 2.0, Elixir Agent Framework
Hi HN!
I'm the author of an Elixir Agent Framework called Jido. We reached our 2.0 release this week, shipping a production-hardened framework to build, manage and run Agents on the BEAM.
Jido now supports a host of Agentic features, including:
- Tool Calling and Agent Skills - Comprehensive multi-agent support across distributed BEAM processes with Supervision - Multiple reasoning strategies including ReAct, Chain of Thought, Tree of Thought, and more - Advanced workflow capabilities - Durability through a robust Storage and Persistence layer - Agentic Memory - MCP and Sensors to interface with external services - Deep observability and debugging capabilities, including full stack OTel
I know Agent Frameworks can be considered a bit stale, but there hasn't been a major release of a framework on the BEAM. With a growing realization that the architecture of the BEAM is a good match for Agentic workloads, the time was right to make the announcement.
My background is enterprise engineering, distributed systems and Open Source. We've got a strong and growing community of builders committed to the Jido ecosystem. We're looking forward to what gets built on top of Jido!
Come build agents with us!

Show HN: Moongate – Ultima Online server emulator in .NET 10 with Lua scripting
I've been building a modern Ultima Online server emulator from scratch. It's not feature-complete (no combat, no skills yet), but the foundation is solid and I wanted to share it early.
What it does today: - Full packet layer for the classic UO client (login, movement, items, mobiles) - Lua scripting for item behaviors (double-click a potion, open a door — all defined in Lua, no C# recompile) - Spatial world partitioned into sectors with delta sync (only sends packets for new sectors when crossing boundaries) - Snapshot-based persistence with MessagePack - Source generators for automatic DI wiring, packet handler registration, and Lua module exposure - NativeAOT support — the server compiles to a single native binary - Embedded HTTP admin API + React management UI - Auto-generated doors from map statics (same algorithm as ModernUO/RunUO)
Tech stack: .NET 10, NativeAOT, NLua, MessagePack, DryIoc, Kestrel
What's missing: Combat, skills, weather integration, NPC AI. This is still early — the focus so far has been on getting the architecture right so adding those systems doesn't require rewiring everything.
Why not just use ModernUO/RunUO? Those are mature and battle-tested. I started this because I wanted to rethink the architecture from scratch: strict network/domain separation, event-driven game loop, no inheritance-heavy item hierarchies, and Lua for rapid iteration on game logic without recompiling.
