Hi all, Hack Club founder here. I just posted this on the Hack Club Slack and want to share here too: Hi everyone, I should have jumped in sooner. I’m sorry - I’ve been afraid to post because I’ve been worried that any response whatsoever w

Conversation about outsourcing aside, it isn’t fair to pick one example and generalize to say an entire country’s talent pool is poor. The US has the best engineering talent pool in the world and you can find dozens of examples at major com

We've had a similar experience at Hack Club, the nonprofit I run that helps high schoolers get into coding and electronics. We used to be on Heroku and the cost wasn't just the high monthly bill - it was asking "is this littl

It would be a generational mistake to rob kids of all of human history and knowledge.

Tuned LLMs will become more accurate than bookkeepers for most day-to-day small business transactions. I think you underestimate the amount of errors that normal bookkeepers tend to make.

Most small businesses cannot afford CPAs for everyday tasks. At best a CPA signs off on the annual summaries. Most day to day work is done by bookkeepers who are not CPAs. In my area (Vermont) the going rate for a good CPA is $200/hr.

We are only 2 years in! 1.2% of GDP is enormous! The fact that we can even make any of these comparisons is stunning.

Wow, this is an amazing project. Great work!

Yeah, I’m saying that I expect us to have a world where we can cram almost all business knowledge into the context window for coding LLMs and we can get an early glimpse of that today by pasting in the full contents of 50+ files into Gemini

Yes… I did?

I’d encourage you to try the 1M context window on Gemini 2.5 Pro. It’s pretty remarkable. I paste in the entire codebase for my small ETL project (100k tokens) and it’s pretty good. Not perfect, still a long ways to go, but a sign of the ti

I checked and the quality of schools there are fine! 75% of students in high school at grade level in math and reading. Pretty normal.

I highly recommend Coolify. I evaluated every option when looking for a Heroku alternative, and Coolify is clearly the best as long as you don’t absolutely require zero downtime deploys. We are hosting over 100 services on it for https:&#x

FYI that I did a bounty for database SSL connections and they implemented it, so they should be live now!

Dokploy unfortunately isn’t nearly as mature as Coolify.
