If I am archiving PBs of data for 10+ years, I don't want to rely on a WASM interpreter being available and performant in the future just to read a file. I want a dead-simple, heav…

I've accumulated a bunch of old website archives over the years. The funny thing is the ugly HTML dumps have been more useful than the "perfect" archive. It's one of the reasons I'…

I've shifted to a "slow code" approach with AI, treating it more like a design partner than a code generator. I mostly do TDD with TypeScript. I write the test, write the code myse…

For me, its those Who's hiring or Who wants to get hired posts. I used a throwaway email once and got emails about SEO and AI projects. I don’t engage. I mark as spam, block the se…

I built a tiny Notepad clone in ~5 minutes using an LLM: open/save, plain text, no surprises. Lately I've been doing the same for other small utilities. Roughly half the little too…

I am a fan of https://blogs.hn/ . It is mostly HN-like content, but I visit it daily. I wish there was a "new" view though.
