Auditing and fixing bugs in AI-generated code

AI code generation tools produce code with undetected issues; developers need a service or tool where the same AI audits and corrects its own output.

Generate architecture diagrams from text descriptions

Software engineers and tech leads waste time manually drawing architecture diagrams in Lucidchart or Visio. No tool converts plain text descriptions (e.g., 'API layer → database → cache') into visual diagrams automatically. This saves hours per project. [Google Search suggestion]

Oxyde – Pydantic-native async ORM with a Rust core

Hi HN! I built Oxyde because I was tired of duplicating my models.If you use FastAPI, you know the drill. You define Pydantic models for your API, then define separate ORM models for your database, then write converters between them. SQLModel tries to fix this but it's still SQLAlchemy underneath. Tortoise gives you a nice Django-style API but its own model system. Django ORM is great but welded to the framework.I wanted something simple: your Pydantic model IS your database model. One class, full validation on input and output, native type hints, zero duplication. The query API is Django-style (.objects.filter(), .exclude(), Q/F expressions) because I think it's one of the best designs out there.Explicit over implicit. I tried to remove all the magic. Queries don't touch the database until you call a terminal method like .all(), .get(), or .first(). If you don't explicitly call .join() or .prefetch(), related data won't be loaded. No lazy loading, no surprise N+1 queries behind your back. You see exactly what hits the database by reading the code.Type safety was a big motivation. Python's weak spot is runtime surprises, so Oxyde tackles this on three levels: (1) when you run makemigrations, it also generates .pyi stub files with fully typed queries, so your IDE knows that filter(age__gte=...) takes an int, that create() accepts exactly the fields your model has, and that .all() returns list[User] not list[Any]; (2) Pydantic validates data going into the database; (3) Pydantic validates data coming back out via model_validate(). You get autocompletion, red squiggles on typos, and runtime guarantees, all from the same model definition.Why Rust? Not for speed as a goal. I don't do "language X is better" debates. Each one is good at what it was made for. Python is hard to beat for expressing business logic. But infrastructure stuff like SQL generation, connection pooling, and row serialization is where a systems languag

AI-generated code introduces bugs and security issues that traditional reviews miss

Development teams using AI code generation tools struggle with hidden bugs, logic flaws, and security vulnerabilities that slip through standard code review processes. As AI-generated code becomes common, reviewers lack specialized tools to catch issues unique to AI outputs, leading to buggy code reaching production and delayed releases. Teams either accept increased defect rates or spend significantly more time on manual reviews.
