What brings me back to hacker news are these posts that ask questions yanked unexpectedly directly from my own soul, in words more articulate than I could manage. And then somehow manages to answer those questions. Thank you.

Same experience with Google. I was setting up SSO for a new web application and set off some AI flag on a sub domain for our company website. For 2 weeks every visitor saw a warning that out site was a phishing scam. Nightmare. With no

I hate web forms. You hate web forms. Especially when when they are long. Or one form follows another after another after another. We have conversational LLM's that can make this feel much better, and there is this great BPMN diagram

We are working on a workflow engine as well - picking up concepts from the past - not quite as far back as mainframes, but I respect looking back to the past for things that work well, and re-applying them to a new world. I'd be up fo

I hold a lot of hope that visual workflow tools like this will help more people use software to solve their own problems. With an LM's assistance a lot more people can create code but they need some kind of organizational structure -

This feels a little like "I don't use a cordless drill because my screw driver works so well and is faster in most cases" grug brain says use best tool, not just tool grug used last.

Visual workflow tools, particularly those that are able to support a human-in-the-loop, MUST exist for the world to adapt and effectively use LLMs. Literate Programming - coined by Donald Knuth and at the heart of Jupyter Notebooks - is pow

My 18 year old son is pursuing a degree in CS. I think about this question often. I also mentor graduates and it is indeed a very difficult job market right now. We are in a period of rapid change. And rapid change ultimately favors the

There are good realtors and bad realtors. I could imagine an AI chat bot that was better than some of the mouth breathers out there. But I wouldn't use those people anyway. But there are good people in the real estate business . if

100 percent agree. I keep a todo list, in a notebook, copy undone items over every two or three days to a fresh list. It reminds me what's not getting done. It is easy to look at. I feel a sense of accomplishment. It reduces my str
