Valid point but the mission is to help people appreciate each other's culture with small questions. Eg: Question #2 was very insightful to learn about Portugal and Brazil

That distinction between Industrial Production and Knowledge Work feels like the root cause. It seems like modern Agile has mutated into a tool for Manufacturing Predictability rather than Software Discovery. We are so obsessed with making

This is the exact mental model I was looking for. It reminds me of Kingman's Formula in queueing theory: As server utilization approaches 100%, the wait time approaches infinity. We intuitively understand this for servers (you never ru

Ask HN: Have we confused efficiency with "100% utilization"?

This discussion on software estimation brings up an interaction I had with an engineer who optimized Black & Decker assembly lines in 1981 using an Apple II. They didn't estimate in 'Story Points'. They used atomic physic

For anyone interested in this, Jamis Buck's book 'Mazes for Programmers' is a masterpiece of the genre. My personal favorite distinction is between the Recursive Backtracker (which creates long, winding corridors with few dea

I've noticed a similar pattern. AI assistants are incredible at kinetic coding i.e. generating boilerplate, refactoring, writing tests. But they are detrimental to potential coding especially at the architectural thinking that happens

The headline is slightly misleading. Microsoft can only provide the key if you are using a Microsoft Account which automatically escrows the BitLocker recovery key to OneDrive. If you use a Local Account (which requires bypassing the OOBE i

I love how Luke has his video setup dialed in... while some of us struggle to even get our basic backpack dialed in for such adventures. Curious what selfie stick and tripod does he use to get such high quality angles and footage without sp

Vibe-based coding is sloppy and has given the tech a bad name. Used smartly by devs, LLMs can still spark innovation and solid builds provided you know what you are doing with them and their limitations.

TL;DR - Learn from each other. Pay it forward. It's not a zero sum game! :)

It's both.... mutual sharing of learning to improve the space without immediate expectation of a return to any one party. You are assuming that the founder seeking to connect is less experienced and more desperate than the founder who

Application of AI could be a game-changer for microgrids, especially to a) boost efficiency, b) manage demand, and c) strengthen resilience. Perhaps there are strong parallels with the application of AI for microservices architectures. T

Agree. Ideas about what to build are dime a dozen but ideas about how to execute them successfully are not that broadly shared except when the founder becomes a big success and gets their own biography written by someone. Perhaps I should h

Double the base salary true but lower overall payoff since Big Tech equity upside is already priced in.

Without a doubt the best information dense UI is IBKR Mobile App from Interactive Brokers. Kudos to the IBKR Mobile team for out-competing all other brokerages out there.

The incumbent being the concept of a car (EV or ICE) that you own and that you have to drive to get to places. Don't compare the Tesla MVP with an existing concept of a car. Demand for new "car" is a noise. Austin FSD launch

There is always a demand problem when your MVP product is being compared against the existing incumbents. Tesla cars are the MVPs being compared to existing automotives just like the Model T was the MVP being compared to horse carriages. Th

With advent LLM driven development,the traditional web frameworks may soon be rendered obsolete. All the framework abstractions we made for humans coding productivity will need to be re-visited! I support plain vanilla web for this reason.
