I love this anecdote. It highlights what our industry continues to forget: The end user doesn't care. Don't get me wrong, tech is why I am here. But if it works, Alice and Bob don't care one bit about how the product exists.

While neat, I don't get consistent scores if I retry it a few times. If it leads with a series of greens first, my score is more green oriented, and vice versa.

This is what I have been doing. I don't think I've made any amazing breakthroughs, but at the same time I can't help but feel like I've come across some white paper-worthy realizations. Being able to correlate across a l

That's a solid point. I knew my flake setup could be better but never bothered. Then one day earlier this year I threw Claude at it. Not only did it improve everything, it fixed a small bug that had been bothering me. My confidence in

Perhaps? I just used it to analyze one of my 96k Zig codebases using Claude Code and here is (part of) what came back. (I snipped out the deeper analysis above as it exposes my private project - but it was all correct). Head-to-Head

I appreciate the feedback. I have been talking to a lot of people about the very same point you make and had a lot of good brainstorming sessions. I introduced functionality to do it once per week, or specific days, and not just every day t

Sorry to be that guy. I love nix, I want to read more about how people use nix. The font presented under NixOS + Firefox is near unreadable on this website.

In case anyone is curious, here was my epiphany project from 2 weeks ago: https://github.com/boj/the-project I then realized I could feed it everything it ever needed to know. Just create a docs/* folder and tell

I've been an EM for the last 10 of my 25 year Software Engineering career. Coding is, frankly, boring to me anymore, even though I enjoyed doing it most of my career. I had this project I wanted to exist in world but couldn't be b

My team still has 8 year old Haskell systems in production. We pivoted away from the language a few years ago, which I discuss here a bit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37746386 I personally love ML languages and wou

I have a similar sentiment. While attending university and learning Maya on SGIs, I recall finding Blender in 1997 and chatting with Ton a little in their IRC channel. Was never able to make a career out of it, but I sincerely miss how kind

I recall that one of the primary reasons they built Go was because of the half-day compile times Google's C++ code was reaching.

I don't work here but have some insight. It's difficult for a lot of companies to vet the proper labor and tax laws required per state, and even city, to hire an individual. Some states even require that their rules be blanket app

I assume most HN job posts are from small startups. Even if they are established companies with a sizable head count, it seems weird seeing the same exact job post month after month for a year or two straight. > you can't let teams

I'm pretty sure Stripe was a heavy user of this for a while. They used it due to their write-heavy system, if I recall. I fondly remember writing a Go driver for it. Was a good experience: https://github.com/riaken&#x2F

I asked that same question here a while back. One of the answers was (paraphrased), "because we're constantly recruiting for that title, but maybe not the same team." I'm not sure if that was a good or bad sign. Growth?

> Striking during election week is kind of a crappy move to pull. That sounds like an anti-union stance to me. There's no better time to strike than when your opponent can't afford to look bad.

This is pretty cool. I manually put my budget for a month into a sankey generator just to see last year. Nice to see someone run that idea a little further.

Was curious if a comment about fish would be here. With fish's own autocomplete I get most of what I need. Add fzf to search the history (ctrl-r), and it's highly comparable to the post topic.

This is a fairly common idiom, "X has its warts." Or do you mean something else?
