I've always found it much quicker to just... do the work myself. AI slows me down more than anything.

I must say, life is a lot easier as a software engineer outside of Big Tech. It seems like a bit of a pressure cooker to me.

Everywhere I've worked that uses DynamoDB, someone will invariably write a bunch of abstraction functions that become very annoying to debug, to add functionality, and can break an entire app if changed. DynamoDB is admittedly very ver

To be fair I once spilled water all over my Macbook's keyboard. It wouldn't boot for weeks afterward. I got a new computer and then checked back a few months later and my Macbook was magically able to boot.

The cutesy writing style is a bit irritating, plus the article is one big ego stroke. Could you, HackerNews reader, imagine yourself writing something like this? No? It's because you're not a narcissist.

Eh. My preferred subway activity is to listen to music and stare at the ground. I don't know... do I really need to stare at my computer screen every waking moment?

Safari became the new IE for a while, the amount of problems I've had with Safari CSS animations and SVGs is endless. It's good they're trying to not make Safari suck as much.

On the contrary, I've built some very complicated apps with Alpine and it handled the use cases every time. You are right with string methods creating it hard to click to go to the function in your IDE, but I'vd never had a proble

Do not use HTMX for anything other than very simple CRUD apps. The vast majority of the time you'll be wishing you had client side two way data binding and state management. If you want "simple and not React", just use Alpine

I generally go very quickly when doing personal programming projects since I'm usually the only user of my software, but I always end up shooting myself in the foot and have to rewrite sloppy code, which ends up taking more time. Which

Do you personally use your own app? This is the biggest, easiest predictor of software success. If you're not using your own app every day, there's no reason for other people to as well, save for network effect type apps.

Seems mostly knee-jerk reactionary more than anything. I'm sure this is to justify hiring even more administrators.

People who are more likely to customize their app are more likely power users, therefore they're going to engage with the app more anyways. Why would someone changing app colors to ones they specifically chose make them use the app les

My productivity app is a sketchbook and a pencil, if anyone knows what those are.

The unique UX of the site, driving around in a 3D car, is what makes this site go viral on occasion. If it were "good" UX, e.g. a standard portfolio site, no one would care and this guy wouldn't be as well known as he is. The

Even if the battery lasts "years", it still seems wildly irresponsible to make this a single use device. I suspect this thing will get very few sales because it's single use.

Oops, looks like Figma forgot to remove the alpha on their equations, because they're unreadable in dark mode.

It's nice, but it feels like Yet Another Browser. I'm interested in seeing all the new browsers that will come out in the next few years that are based off Ladybird. Or alternatively what Ladybird will enable in terms of customiza

This is a hard problem to solve. Basically what people want is an addictive way to consume high quality text. I have made my own RSS readers with things like filtering, creating feeds from pages (e.g. the APNews.com home page), rendering th

Strangely I've found the only people who are super excited about AI are executive level boomers. My mom loves AI and uses it to do her job, which of course has poor results. All the younger people I know hate AI. Perhaps it's also

Oh how I'd like the AI bubble to pop already when ROIs don't justify the cost. I like AI for things like getting recommendations or classifying images. And yet execs feel the need to force every possible use case down our throats

My theory is public state schools will become much more prestigious, as non extremely rich kids will find spending $75k on tuition to just not be worth it when you can go to your local state flagship for a fraction of the price. Plus, most

I think you will need to filter out wire services like AP and Reuters, as I'm seeing stories that are mostly republished wire stories on random websites.

No wonder they moved to Codeberg. Those kinds of projects tend to do the ol' move to Codeberg for whatever reason. If I had to put an analogy to it, Codeberg is like Kick and Github is like Twitch.

Goes to show the fundamental UX design flaws of Mastodon and Twitter. If it were on Hacker News or Reddit it would be instantly downvoted. Even if the OP replied to the comment, it would still be buried. But because of how Mastodon and Twit
