The death of HN has been lamented since at least 2007 (in addition to the cliche that it's turning into Reddit, mentioned in the guidelines). So far, it hasn't died nor turned into Reddit.

Except that Go is a simpler, smaller language than Java. That's one of the key points in the post.

Cool project! Slight nitpick (in the spirit of HN): Looks like the search is case sensitive when I think HN usernames are not. Only realised when my phone capitalised the first letter and it returned no results, but worked after searching i

Both - these are the two sides of the market, aka supply and demand.

It says "Our users are everywhere" and shows some logos for the companies these users are from. If the users are from those companies, this is not lying. If they added logos for companies their users are not from, it would be lyin

In a similar vein, there's also "I'll revert back" as a more formal "I'll get back to you".

I've found writing docs and updating docs a great AI use-case. In my experience documentation generation has a lower error rate than code generation, and the costs of errors are lower too. I'm not really a big fan of AI agents wri

Super interesting, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts! HN is still one of the few places on the internet to get such esoteric, expert and intellectually stimulating content. It's like an Island where the spirit of 'the

It's not quite like other infectious diseases (e.g. COVID), in that transmission is dependent on mosquitos as a vector. If they've sufficiently damaged the vector one tourist alone cannot bring it back - the disease vector would a

I think that was written as a generic, illustrative example. That Example was also for healthtech, which OP is not. Yes ex-Meta could imply non-technical, but OP is a CTO with a Stanford computer science degree. Their job title and skills a

Am I missing something, or are HN readers assuming (incorrectly) the author is non-technical and looking for someone to build out their ideas? From what I can see, the author is a CTO who is ex-meta and Stanford computer science. They look

Are you talking about some other scenario, rather than OP? (i.e. the archetypal 'co-founder dater'?) OP is a technical co-founder - ex-Facebook and Stanford computer science, it seems.

This seems not to be a YC W22 company - placing this in the title is misleading.

As a long time HN reader, eventually participating in YCW21, the main thing i would like to highlight is there's so many misconceptions about YC on HN. It would take too long to refute them all, but just remember the HN readerships&#x2

Unfortunately the advertising was so awful I just navigated away. This site was close to spam on a mobile device.

If anybody has migrated from AWS to Hetzner what was your experience? What kind of cost savings did you see? I know it's not a like-for-like comparison, I am particularly curious about the price differentials though, AWS is often a pre

Having been through both Techstars and YC, this article is painfully accurate. Being part of both networks has been an interesting experience in culture. YC culture fosters an extremely strong network of founders, even outside the bay area.

I agree, the story doesn't make sense as this person's perspective alone. It's probably only half the story.

This is pretty interesting. I play a lot of games, but never got into fighting games. Seeing the strategy "laid out" might be a useful way to understand the mechanics rather than figuring them out with trial and error. Trial an er

Oh man, I didn't read the remote deactivation part - that really is crazy! Preventing resale isn't so unusual, but having your property violated definitely is.

This doesn't seem unreasonable for a limited supply product, to prevent price scalping. If you saw these terms for a console launch or graphics card launch, you wouldn't complain. It's probably not enforceable, but the idea i

When you setup your editor and container system to work on a remote dev environment, I've generally found this superior to coding locally - with a few edge-case exceptions. You can't code when offline. But I generally find it diff
