Whoops sorry, I'll need to size this down but: https://gist.github.com/abelanger5/c513ef259b1b03fe2e5a27b96...
Going to create a PR into https://github.com/knobiknows/all-the-bufo later today.

If you really need to merge and deploy, I've been having some luck getting things moving with the gh cli:
gh pr review <xx> --approve
gh pr merge <xx> --squash --delete-branch

My wife and I have been playing this game every day for the past few weeks or so. Some of the daily levels are incredibly satisfying.
We have very different ways of approaching the harder problems; some of the clues are easier for someone with a formal CS/engineering background, but others just require a better memory of the different constraints, and she's much better at building a tagging system around those constraints.

Hatchet | Product Engineer | NYC or SF or REMOTE (US and EU) | https://hatchet.run
Hey HN! I'm Alexander, one of the founders of Hatchet. Hatchet is an open-source platform for running background jobs at scale.
We're hiring product engineers who are excited to build the next class of engineering primitives, starting with queues, background tasks and durable execution. We started in early 2024 after launching our distributed task queue (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643136).
Hatchet is currently used by thousands of engineers for all kinds of workloads: log ingestion pipelines, code review agents, video encoding, GPU scheduling, etc. Our target customer is fast-growing startups who have a strong need for background jobs system. These days, that tends to be AI companies, though we're general-purpose and not exclusively targeted for AI workloads.
Stack: Postgres, Go, Typescript, React, Kubernetes
Applying: I'm trying something different this time. `ssh hatchet-jobs.com`
Note that we're fully open-source, which you can check out here: https://github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet (and if you have thoughts / opinions / questions about the codebase, please include those in your note!)
