LinkedIn has quite a few tech people. People are less inclined to bully others on a resume site and so it's a bit less toxic.

Okay, maybe YT is the exception, but some of them claim it's because the algorithm punishes otherwise.

Do you let them use the internet? YouTube? ChatGPT is roughly the same thing but more sanitized.

I admire and blame David Carson for this. It requires no skill to make something legible. The point of art isn't to be legible, it's to pull eyeballs (and sales) or send a message. If something is pleasing to everyone, it stands o

I call it the antibody effect. My favorite example is clickbait headlines like, "Five things you MUST do if you're doing this thing. You'd never guess #3!" It used to be everywhere and now it's nowhere. AI is starti

I think they simply don't know what to do next. In the past century, you could write a book with good content, put it on a shelf, and people would pay money for it. Then at some point, book stores stopped existing. Some turned into gif

Maybe a haunted house might be better. Schachter-Singer theory was formed from on the idea that people will feel emotions based on their physiology and context. A person who is scared will have their hearts pound faster. They meet a person.

Out of full time jobs (not including the freelance work): 4 jobs via Facebook (notably a top 50 YC backed unicorn). One direct referral. One from a job board. One from a university alumni group where I was the committee. One from LinkedIn.

Many people using pgvector have about 200 rows of data. Yesterday, I had a conversation with someone whether it's better to squeeze it all into the system prompt. Someone else argued that even with large context, it's difficult to

Some tools were certainly better, like Flash. Mobile made a lot of things complicated. Half the game dev tools still don't run properly for mobile. HTML5 was supposed to make things easier, and for a while it did, but it got rapidly mo

"Turbopuffer starts at $64 month with generous limits." Yup, I think this here explains the popularity of pgvector. If $64/month seems like a lot to you, just use pgvector. If it seems cheap, then your usage is complex enough

What I do is write plans that will be used by Claude Code when I'm at the desktop. I made a tool which lets me export my to do list into a markdown file, which I can feed to Claude later, along with context. Once I'm done with tha

I'm middle aged and home appliances are the luxury purchase. Irons, ovens, vacuums, everything changed. But laundry didn't. I live near the equator, so dryers are a luxury and clotheslines are the norm. We still don't buy dry

This changed significantly with the co-working space boom, bust during COVID, remote work burnout, and somehow we've receded to a 2015 state.

I've been taking algae supplements lately. It tastes like fish food because it is fish food. Apparently, it was a source of cheap protein during wars, but didn't provide enough nutrients and tastes like pond scum. It ended up in

The subscription model is VC friendly. ARR makes it easy to calculate whether this little pony can grow to become a unicorn. You can probably make a few millions off single payment. People have for decades before subscription. Games are sti

"why haven’t LLM wrappers penetrated this sector" The vast majority of games are sold over Steam. It's so overwhelmingly dominant that it eclipses almost every other platform put together, with some exceptions for consoles an

Much of the low skill labor were things like writing transcripts and turning receipts into plaintext. It was at a point where OCR wasn't reliable. There were a few specialist tasks. The gig economy was very much a net positive here. So

Not always. The typical approach is to know some low risk, low reward skills like Java, React, .NET, AWS, and some high risk high reward stuff like Rust, AI, some weird database. I know Java. I haven't learned React properly either, bu

Reproduction I suppose. I would like the same things as OP too. LLM outputs are qualitative; they can't really be automatically scored and prompt enhancements tend to multiply the bug. It can solve a problem, but introduce a new one. I

I'm surprised there's no mention of Flutter. If the goal is mobile performance, Flutter would be top of mind - you can build to both native apps and web.

Nice to see something like this. Product Hunt has just become swarmed with junk and people from incubators promoting each other's products. Show HN is good, but the good stuff doesn't stick around long enough to discover.

It's hard to give people a copy of your code and see if they can navigate it. I find a reasonable middle ground is to create a template of the hardest bits of code. Get them to build something with it, hack it, and so on. See where the

ChatGPT seems to use this most often. Claude uses similar data and training and has similar patterns. Gemini doesn't yet seem to have a consistent pattern, but it's quite different, and honestly, I find it even more disturbing; Ge
