I've been heavily vibe coding for a couple of personal projects. A free kids typing game and bringing back a multiplayer game I played a lot as a kid back to life both with pretty …

My kids are surprisingly keen to learn to type, and I couldn't find any thing out there which was A) Free without adverts B) Worked well on mobile/tablets C) Was clutter free and e…

I would really love to pick your brains on this. Did you do anything special with Frigate to do the stream processing ( hardware offloading etc? ) or was it simply plug and play.

Are you saying that chatgpt wouldn't be able to achieve the digestible bites you're talking of? In which case, at what point do they become digestible? Is that not dependent on the…

A master crafts person in any field can not become an expert without years of practice and repetition. Should we therefore always just outsource tasks because the work could do be …

The reduction in hours has allowed me to do activities which overall make me happier and less inclined to drink. I now do a lot of running and bodyweight fitness. Drinking decrease…

Purely anecdotal I know, but since giving up my job in the city and going freelance I have indeed spent far less time drinking and far more time exercising. A quick one after work …

I try to at least have the slow query log on and monitored in staging. It's pretty easy to forget an index and not notice in a dev environment.

This reminded me of this http://hnalerts.com/ . I think it still works. Mind you it's been a long time since I've submitted anything that made it to the front page. ;)

Complaining is the wrong word. I'm aware more than ever now that what I earn is entirely in my hands and my ability to sell myself. Having the confidence in you're own ability in o…

I turned over ~$80k in my first year freelancing. This year will be substantially higher. Battling against imposter syndrome and finding out how much your worth to a company/busine…
