The key here though is that choosing a bleeding edge tech is more likely to be a problem because it's fairly untested. I can tell you what ALL the problems with rails are. For the most part they won't even start to bite you until

Obviously, Medical and privacy issues in this story that make this case more complex, but anyone on HN not looking into ways that AI can streamline their lives and jobs at this point is doing themselves a disservice. Yes, there are limitati

I'm happy to act as a reference for Alex as well. I found him on HN in Nov of 2022 and have worked frequently with him over the last year on a number of projects. While junior, Alex is very very smart and often worked without oversight

Seems like they got the 2FA keys as well[0], so I'm not sure how useful this is in this context. 2FA seems it might be more useful where it's a different site and you've reused the password or had it phished, than in this cas

Haha jokes on you. I sucked your AGPL code into my LLM and now you have to prove I'm actually using your code when it generates the same thing. Good luck with that.

You're right, I apologise.

The argument that deploying a static site will become as widespread as using computers is flawed. It wasn't that long ago that working a field was a core skill, but that's no longer the case. We can find countless examples of skil

It IS an unreasonable expectation. There are so many reasons it's unrealistic, from the fact that it's a niche skill, to the friction that it creates before one can just write or interact with others. Comparing it to driving is no

Yes, let's make everyone learn how to deploy static webpages just so they can write a blog or newsletter (◔_◔) (and I say this as someone that has used Jekyll for over a decade)

Dang going around saying, "no no apply anyway" says to me that even if it is in that state, that's not what they want. As a unknown university dropout (2001) I wouldn't feel intimidated to apply, and may well go after th

There is likely some level of selection bias to it as well. If I think it's unlikely to get in without that ivy/engineering school background I might not bother to apply. I don't personally believe that -- I'm confident

I dropped out of the University of Wollongong in ~2001 (points if you know where that is without looking it up), I've had a great 23 year career so far. I agree that the cofounder dating was intimidating, and even some of the people fi

Assuming it's true/accurate it seems like the kind of research you should share (for free or otherwise) with YC, because it seems like the kind of bias that they would be interested in correcting for. Not just from an equality per

FWIW anxiety also results in exhaustion and brain fog, so I'm not surprised that it's had a positive impact in this way, it's just unfortunate that it's not without it's downsides.

They can and did use it in commercial software before relicensing. I don't have a problem with that. It's a betrayal to get a huge community together under one expectation and then decide you don't like that expectation any m

SSRIs have some nasty side effects though, including sexual dysfunction.

I watched my partner have a very bad run in with Epstein-Barr Virus (a decade ago). Wiped her out for months and months. It took years before she was back to 100%. It might not be clear what all the causes of long-covid, brain fog are but i

In the very early days of Terraform, when it was 2 months or so old I helped a little. How many people did (so much more than me) with all these projects to be later betrayed by relicensing. > git log --pretty=format:"%h %an %

I'm definitely in the camp that has moved my tiny company infra to opentofu. Thanks for all your hard work.

Yeah, there are definitely exceptions to this. I had a company credit card for quite a while at a previous company. It did result in a bunch of other devs coming to me to get small things purchased (this was an appropriate use). The number

It depends on the scale you're talking about but the local LLMs are fairly capable of translating between different programming languages, particularly if you're not so concerned about external library support. Pasting a function

I'm a Mac user as well, and I bought the Game and DLC. It's such a great idea. Congrats on the game launch (I'll wait patiently for a Mac version rather than trying to get the DLC working), but it was more about supporting th

I had the unfortunate timing of starting my career in 2001-2003. There were no jobs available and I had dropped out of University due to lack of money (it was more complex than that, but off topic). I started the rough way doing basic compu

I did that a number of years ago ~2009 in Australia. If I recall the markup was ~8-10%. It was pretty much a big recruitment company (Hays) that also helped clients find short term contracts. Worked until I found something better.

23 years in and all my (contract) work comes from my network. Parent comment is the advice you need. It's never too late to start, but it is hard to do on demand. Also the way you behave within a company will follow you. If you're
