I vibe-coded a single-file HTML tool that lets you upload a floor plan image, calibrate it with one known dimension, then draw measurement lines anywhere. Shows feet/inches and met…

How many false positives did the AI throw up?

This is incredible research. So much harm can be prevented if this makes it into law. I hope it does. Kudos to the anthropic team for making this public.

I had a similar problem this year after having moved to a new country, working a remote job and separated from my partner. Having had a terrible social life since I was a kid, I kn…

Yeah but work isn't all there is to life, at least for me. There are way more fulfilling things. If you like your work more than anything else in life, good for you. Different stro…

A demo video would've been nice

I agree with the premise but take issue with the measure for "success": do you feel excited to get up and work on Monday? We're humans and no matter what you're pursuing, you'll hi…

> Code is so cheap it’s practically free. Code that works continues to carry a cost, but that cost has plummeted now that coding agents can check their work as they go. I personall…

Be careful with sharing this URL in your Instagram DMs. I built something similar a few weeks ago for watching Instagram reels, shared a link to it with someone on Instagram, and m…

Dog enrichment calendar - I have a lot of different types of treats, toys and activities that I'd like to do with my dog but I fell into routines and just gave him two or three toy…

I relate to this. I started building side projects last year, and being used to all the bells and whistles of CI/CD, serverless/containers and amazing monitoring and dashboarding t…

I doubt that the product folks over at Google overseeing an experimental project like this have such outsized influence over something core like the ads engine

I'm an individual, experienced FAANG software engineer looking to build something in this space. Lmk if you want to chat about building something together

This could become the missing piece for RAG with LLMs for company data. Every query that requires a lookup can use this model and then an agentic LLM can crawl through the hierarch…

So the solution to all of the world's problems is to move everyone to the Arctic/Antarctic regions! Got it

I built this tool to replace all other web based ad-laden tools I use to work with timestamps in my day job. All of these things exist on the web already, but I put them all in one…

I have been frequently frustrated when debugging issues as a backend engineer, by having to manually fiddle with timestamps - doing mental math to account for timezone differences,…

What's the end game? Make people write more high quality, high complexity code with less time? I don't think that's how it works. You can try to juice the rock as much as you want,…

It's a dumb game, sure. But I'd say it arises from opposing incentives, not necessarily from a real desire on the company's part to screw you over. How important is feeling "not sc…

Because the authors are likely non native English speakers. I'm one myself and it is hard to write for a primarily native English speaking audience without linguistic artifacts tha…

It's interesting to see that extraversion actually seems to hurt founders

The more I learn about the world the more I learn that I don't have any control over much of what will happen to it, and by extension to me. So my choice is to live my life and enj…

In which case there will be massive social upheaval, which won't be good for the newly minted god-CEOs. They are incentivized to share the spoils of infinite productivity. What goo…

If AI agents do get better than human SWEs, they'll also get better than their human counterparts at other jobs - including being an entrepreneur. When people call out the doom of …

I've interviewed for Coinbase and it was a shit show. The recruiter initially said my interviews went well but then never got back to me, even after me reaching out multiple times.…
