I'm generally in favor of "Show HN" posts that are products, but this post just seems like blatant advertising.

To me it seems more like a lot of _thinking_ just to save a tiny bit of thinking. It was a fun read though, and obviously this exercise is not about efficiency so much as exploring…

Can you expand on why you avoid Rails? I'm legitimately curious! Edit: I see your other replies, nvm!

I love Temporal-- we use it at my company. It's very very good for our use case, but took a while to understand how to use it. We're still figuring things out (Workflow versioning …

This is the kind of gen AI that I can really get behind. Great repo and easy to understand with the attached video. Is such a thing possible for Python? Or does the AST parser and …

They also reinforce their reputation of using dark UI patterns hostile to their paying customers. This type of thing doesn't come for free, IMO. There's a cost to this, even if the…

Still waiting for the string of articles about the superyachts that all the bank executives bought after the 2009 bailouts. /sarcasm

Do any of the web accessibility issues come up for other platforms as well? How does the iOS screenreader handle Flutter-generated views on iOS? "It doesn't seem like the Semantic …

A feature for who?

Well, if that's what the research shows than the effort wasn't "wasted". Don't confuse your opinions with facts.

What does Software Engineering actually mean then?

Before you did agile, were there ever death marches, slipped deadlines, pissed off clients, or long crunches? Your comment has the sparkle of nostalgia for glory days gone by.
