It's how funnels should work. Show a sample and if people want more, they can go to https://www.feelapp.io/ Sadly, they have a waitlist, so I'll just come by on the next funnel.

It's the em-dashes — they were rare before 2021 and now they're in every paragraph.

It's great when you're in the driver seat. It's not great when they need to launch in 3 months and management throws a bunch of intermediate engineers at you who can't do anything without "type safety". Softwar

"But a month later, looking back, I’d have no real memory or context for that commit." This is the exact same feeling I got when I was coding things before AI. There's a meme we had at the office where someone runs git blame

They're automations. You have to program them like every other script.

There's other anecdata that 1 in 7 of students are attending classes. This is a little extreme, but it looks like even the students have lost faith in it. Students are using ChatGPT for assessments; professors are getting better at wri

Yup, I've wanted to make something like this. There's focus vs creativity periods. The brain focuses better when tired, but people's cycles are very different. So it's best to just prompt them how they feel periodically

Every "bad government" out there has been a response to capitalism. Communism and fascism sparked from the outcomes of capitalism. Back with uncontrolled capitalism, 8 year old boys were blowing glass. Capitalist-democracy is what

I hit the 5 hour limit almost every work day (pro, not max). It has become a kind of goal to hit it twice a day. It means I've had a productive day and can go on and eat food, touch grass, troll HN, read books. I'm on Claude Code

But the Nobel Prize does work most of the time. Stack Overflow points are just strongly correlated to someone producing negative value, sort of like the Nobel peace prize.

It's not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles. Reward systems are prone to politics and eventually become a nest of politicians. When this system breaks down, the value of the system as a form of certification drops. But th

I'm skeptical - it will be gamed, and suddenly everyone is doing this thing because it's part of the game. I used to rank top 5% in Stack Overflow, and it was a resume item. And now it's overrun by gatekeepers who only ensure

You don't have to jump. Not all progress goes forwards. As anyone who's familiar with web frameworks and crypto knows, most of the paths lead to dead ends. Play with things. Treat them as a toy, not as homework. Eventually you&#x2

Thanks but I'm always paranoid of these tools. They're sort of like "check your password security" apps, seems like a way to farm valuable data.

I'd vouch for the cofounder matching platform. I've met a few people near Kuala Lumpur after a week of leaving matches on... there's just so many as a techie that I had to turn it off. London is a much bigger city so it shoul

It always surprises me how millions of planets can move about predictably for millions of years. Unless it's hit with some gigantic rock... or it gets infected with sentient life.

Kids at 5 love writing. My kids used to do it just for the keyboard emoji that pops up, then they'd get obsessed with writing things like "dog" or "red car" in Google image search.

In college, a socioeconomics book brought up that rich people were having less kids and poor people were having many many many kids (like 10), so this wouldn't have been healthy when the majority of the families came from those with le

They're called boomers because there was a population boom. It was the era of contraceptives, where we thought we would run out of food. Lagging indicators always seem to throw people off, especially one that takes a whole generation.

Not all PIPs are firings. But combined with the contract amendment (which sounds illegal) and the disrespect, especially being excluded from the launch channel, it sounds like it is. Harassing people to quit is also illegal in many places.

If you push it to the limits, it's clearer which limits are a temporary problem and which are much harder to fix. Structures, architectures, context, these can be improved with more training, more data, more hardware. If you mean somet

If you're sorting by technical challenge, you'd get hard items scored high. I would love to see jobs that are just slightly above my level of skill, not senior nuclear scientist lol. It would actually be great for hiring too. Li

They're great at first level customer service. Lots of questions are repetitive and they go through this better than humans. It was the biggest boost to customer satisfaction rating. On the other end, I actually canceled a $100/mo

I think Claude Code had the perfect solution to this. You don't simply autocomplete, you tell it what to do and it looks through the code and proposes a plan. If you know your stuff, you should know whether the plan is any good. It als

They're placeholders for me. Not for everyone else. I can't write perfect code the first time. I may use hardcoded strings (instead of spending 20 mins uploading the string to localization). I may make a O(n^2) loop because I&#x27

Download claude code. Use it. Try to build that thing that would take 5 people six months to do. You'll find very quickly that programmers are needed, and more skilled ones too. For a long time, we've been coders, developers. Ment

"your brain eventually gives up and becomes blind to them." This is not a bad thing if they are not for doing. They're there to mark that the code is incomplete but not broken. The actual to do is a FIXME.

It's a skip. Most are fine even if they never get done. What's not fine is when code is not fully functioning and we assume it is. My favorite TODO was something like class EncryptedSharedPreferences with a "TODO: encrypt thi
