In my peak programming years in Germany, about 5-6 years ago, every company that ever tried to hire me, wanted to do some sort of CRM for xyz. It’s fun when you build it once, but then you change the domain, and realize you’re essentially b

This looks like Tauri. I don’t know. I still prefer simply shipping Go binaries around that fire up a local web server and open the web page on start. I’m old enough to care about these fancy languages, frameworks, native APIs and such. A d

Generative art was my first love. By accident, I ended up being a student of the great Frieder Nake ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieder_Nake ) and that changed my future trajectory. Eventually, this led me to writing

Is this a hobby project or a real social media application with people using it? If there are at least 1000 ppl. using the platform, we can consider adding link aggregation for it in https://murmel.social

My best takeaway from this post: > The friction of building personal apps has always been so high that as users we accepted the ads, the trackers, the dark patterns, and the constant upsells. > The friction is just not there anymore.

Convince me that this wasn't written by an LLM.

Show HN: I built a one-file tool to visualize the real cost of Claude Code usage(cc.preslav.me)

Hey HN, Anthropic charges $20/month for Claude Pro, which is all fine, but we all know that this is heavily subsidized, and is not the real cost of tokens we burn through. The well-known ccusage ( https://ccusage.com/ )

I’ve been thinking about this a lot while building Murmel ( https://murmel.social ). One thing we wanted to avoid from day one was the “infinite engagement machine” model, so instead of pushing algorithmic slop, we just surface li

Interesting, I’ll check it out. But just like X RAW studio, I bet that it won’t work with my old X-E1.

What’s next - coming after all the projects that have been coded using Claude Code, claiming they are their property?

I’m old enough to remember and toy with the now long-dead XNA. It was lots of fun, and gave a lot of us students versed with C# a sort of first-hand exposure with the .NET. If only (the old) Microsoft wasn’t so stupid, short-sighted, and se

If only it were that rosy. I tested a few of the top open-source coding models on a beefy GPU machine, and they all behaved like anything about anything - simply rotating in circles and wasting electricity. Has anyone had a better experienc

Has anyone used this in earnest with something like OpenCode? Over the past few months I’ve tested a dozen models that were claimed to be nearly as good Claude Code or Codex, but the overall experience when using them with OpenCode was clos

Surprisingly, to me, it’s the other ways around - and, I’ve been writing code for two decades now. I love programming and even with AI, I will always have the last word, but I also realized along the way that programming is only a means to

They do. I’ve been teaching cross-career programming courses in the past, where most of my students had day jobs, some, involving hard physical work. They’d gladly swap all that for the opportunity to feed their families by writing code. Ju

Has anyone figured out getting Claude Code to work with a locally installed (e.g via ollama) or a self-hosted LLM already?

I am the author of the article. Indeed, I am a programmer, but believe it or not, I have also taught people. Thus, I think I am eligible to say that no, people don't need teachers anymore. Not in the traditional, preaching sense, anywa

It’s always a trade-off of how much you’ll get from an upgrade, vs. how much time, effort, and pain you’ll have to invest to do the switch. Postgres is at a stage, where a single version can easily outlive the duration of the software you’v
