The author closes by enumerating some of the things they like about Bun which are not included in pnpm. The list is basically: native TS support, a vite-style bundler and a vitest/jest style test runner. Other than a bundler, Node alre

I don't like any of this, but I'm not totally clear how this is substantially different from other fingerprinting technologies which I assume are used by every large tech company. Could anyone elaborate? The post isn't very

You think having fun has no influence on your life? You think sitting bored in a chair would give you an equivalent life experience?

It feels bizarre to claim that playing guitar for 30 minutes a day has no influence on your life. Surely it brings you joy or satisfaction or keeps your skills up if you're a professional. Why do you do it if there's no influence?

Thanks, I realized after I wrote it that the size of their staff was really the variable I was missing. Agreed that's not a remarkably high rate with such a large engineering org.

Thousands of PRs a week generated by AI and requiring human review sounds like a ton, I wonder what their PR merge rate was before this?

That makes it even less believable. They talked about how this tool has replaced some other tools such as flight price trackers. How in the world could that happen in 1 week to such a degree that you wrote a whole blog about it?

Wait I'm ignorant, how long has OpenClaw/Clawdbot existed? This person listed like 6 months of activities that they offloaded to the bot, I thought this thing was pretty new.

I should have looked, this makes total sense that there would be a published policy on this. Thanks for clarifying.

I share these feelings; I don't use JVM anywhere and so booting up IntelliJ just for art felt weird. I eventually decided to write an SVG library in TypeScript heavily inspired by the OPENRNDR API [1]. Of course, if small community is

Is it a faux pas to submit your own blog to HN? Almost surely.

Even the conclusion feels unnecessarily contrived: > The lesson for 2026 is clear: Do not trade the headlines. Trade the Anchor. And right now, the geopolitical anchor is in Türkiye.

I used Nannou for several months, it's actually how I got into creative coding and was my first real foray into Rust. I didn't find the compilation time to be a huge issue for me, but I did find the strictness of Rust to be a prob

To me, "no idea" simply means we don't have strong evidence to support any given conclusion, which I think is a well-defended position from the OP.

The more I work in engineering, the more I agree with pieces like this which suggest that a large part of the job is managing politics in your workspace.

Not trying to be rude but your very short reply is hard to understand. "Unreadable", "starting to slide off", I honestly don't know what you're saying here.

It's a good idea! Extra bonus: the inevitable exodus of companies moving to a different platform might reduce github's scale to a point where they can handle their own traffic (zing!)

I'd be curious to hear more about how it determines when a failure is a source code bug. In my experience it's very hard to encapsulate the "why" of a particular behavior in a way the agents will understand. How does thi
