Eric, The Lean Startup had a huge influence on how I think about startups and product work, so first: thank you. Given the current wave of AI-assisted coding (Claude Code/Codex) and the broader enshittification of SaaS/platforms,

Over the years I’ve tried plenty of fast, "snappy" code editors, but always found myself returning to Sublime. Zed is the first one that got me to actually migrate. It does a great job of staying out of your way. Search and replac

Funny, this mirrors almost exactly a decision I made after about a year of struggling with ELPA packages breaking on me repeatedly. I ended up cutting Emacs off from ELPA entirely, settled on a ~700-line init.el, and now use Emacs as a glor

The input method needs to be improved. I can imagine a camera-based input that would help detect the wagging of a tail, or continued interest in the visuals as an indicator of doubling-down on a given feature. The dog could actually vibe

Hard to believe it's been 13 years! HN has been a wonderful source of both news and community - it connected me to my industry in ways that could only have been achieved otherwise by moving to SF or NYC. In a way, it feels like a great

Great write-up, thanks for sharing the numbers. I get pulled into a fair number of "why did my AWS bill explode?" situations, and this exact pattern (NAT + S3 + "I thought same-region EC2→S3 was free") comes up more ofte

Hey, just a friendly reminder that this is HackerNews, not The Lancet. I have seen past comments here debating many relative basic concepts on medicine. Please don't take medical advice from engineers. Drink water, exercise, eat well.

You just opened my eyes to IMSLP and I would like to thank you for that. For years I have been chasing music scores that were just the right level for my kids.

F10 always worked for me, but some terminals use F10 for some other functionality. If that fails, you can click on "10 Quit" with the mouse (not ideal, but an immediate solution).

Linux won in the long run, I don't see why robust LLM models won't do the same. In the end it'll be the scale of the infrastructure itself that will make the difference.

It is indeed a delicate balance, and different companies take it in different directions. I've seen ICs who focus almost entirely on a single pillar with minimal collaboration needed, but I've also seen Principal Engineers who wer

After handling so many of these cases I decided to build a solution that helps with cost monitoring and optimization. It's a single click integration with AWS and Azure. We're currently working on a solution for these specific cas
