Here’s something: my chatGPT quietly assumed I had ADHD for around 9 months, up until October 2025. I don’t suffer from ADHD. I only found out through an answer that began “As you have ADHD..” I had it stop right there, and asked it to tell

Hi all, Paul (Elevator) here. I'm posting this Show HN in response to (and support of) "Finally, I closed my LinkedIn" [1] posted here on HN yesterday. To echo PC Maffey's sentiment, LinkedIn has always been an annoyance

Great to see this. Well said Justin. Love Laravel and it’s ecosystem. Also: almost 20 years ago I played session guitar for you. Great days! Hope you’re well. PG

Thanks! We’re only scratching the surface so far, and are regularly frustrated by things outside of our control (logistics, politics, the food industry at large being very behind in grasping new tech), but the team at Yume are doing a stell

I understand the necessity of embargoes, but I’m a little torn on this one, given the ubiquity of Slack, IP crackdown mistakes aside. Hypothetical: If you build a product meant for use in other countries than (also as well as) the one it’s

Agreed. People get a little antsy when I bring it up for some reason, but the sheer _amount_ of people tends to be a root cause of many issues. It’s not instagram, it’s many, many people

What about moving into a field within the meta of what you used to do? Organisations of differing sizes benefit in a huge way (and pay for the privilege) to hear stories, “war” or not, relating to their current problem set, and the various

It was a take on mutual respect really, the question itself irks me, and I’d never level it to a prospective employee. I would, however, try to obtain the same info using less jarring questions; possibly asking why the employee chose _us_ t

A question like that kind of does offend me, hence the curt response to it. If the interviewer needed to rely on such an obtuse question, then I’d surmise that they may not be familiar with the interviewee, which could be construed as disre

“If you don’t know that already, let’s end this chat now” is my go-to. Companies and recruiters should know the qualities and capabilities of the person on the other side of the table, gleaned from background material. If they don’t, everyo

I've literally only used it for .animate() in the past 6 months. VueJS came and took over. Might be time to think about pulling jQUery out..

How do we/the developer know it was “a hack”, and also “a bad idea”? The word hack isn’t used in the article. The lead should have .. well, led .. by having a business logic reason for the inclusion of the variable. If they did and the

Which customers? What perspective? What platforms? You'll need to be clearer in what you're asking. Are you asking for opinions, or advice?
