I found it easier to create a fine-grained github token with minimal scope/permissions for the tasks I intend to delegate. For context, I'm running multiple agents and each of them…

My whole team got laid off recently and I have been in constant communication with them, I also have multiple friends who got laid off this year who shared the pain it has been to …

Hi hn, This post is missing from November and December 2025 from the usual whoishiring account [0], is this gone? I'm aware that the latest posts barely got any comments looking fo…

I have been running a company like this for ~6 years, we are only engineers, and, I'm the only one handling sales. Getting started is the hardest part, like many are saying, its si…

Not everything needs K8s, over the years I have worked with many different deployment approaches, the way I do deploy hugely depends on the kind of work I'm doing but my rule is to…

When I was younger I used to believe that nothing serious could happen because I don't use Windows and "I was smart enough" to not execute malware (yeah, I didn't care on downloadi…

I looked through their docs and it seems very close to what I described. Thanks for sharing!

Hi hn, over the years I have interacted with the stock market as well as cryptocurrencies but I have never put any serious effort on tracking this portfolio. While I have saw that …

Most of the ecosystem is on Scala 3, I think Spark would be the biggest piece pending to upgrade.

sbt is way better than what it used to be, also, check-out scala-cli which is very nice.

It definitely took a while for most libraries to catch-up with Scala 3, now, I don't see anything is missing in the main area I work with (web development), playframework already w…

While the tooling isn't perfect, it has improved considerably over the last years, I remember when IntelliJ couldn't deal with Scala 3 but now, it rarely complains. Related to Pyth…

I'd encourage you to give playcodeai.com a try, I built this for my kid on a similar's age. I wrote quite a lot about my motivations a couple of days ago: https://news.ycombinator.…

Hi hn, Its been a while since my kid has been dreaming to make videogames, as you know, the entry bar is high, too many technical details are involved. A few months ago, we started…

Not a job but I got a contract due to a webapp template I have in my github profile, my customer shared that he wanted someone that wouldn't start from scratch and my template look…

My experience is the opposite, when people is unmotivated or not interested in the work, its unlikely for them to improve even if you give them enough chances. I have the impressio…

A few years ago, I was involved in a team with less than 10 engineers, we decided to switch to bazel in order to improve the build times, specially the CI runtime. On the good side…

This is very helpful, in Mexico, we have a couple of government-provided services where you register to not get advertise/financial calls, when you do, you can report them, and, in…
