You’ve effectively created a slide over sidebar. It’s an interesting hack to get there but IMO “should” properly be the domain of the browser.

I think it holds true throughout if you scope it to knowledge about your reports’ domain. If you’re managing managers you should have a good handle on what a manager does and diffe…

That frog with a joint is a turtle with a joint FYI.

It seems like one reasonable response from game companies is to include a service agreement with all games that explicitly limits the guaranteed server uptime. Ie “buying this game…

This is so cool. The discussion section [0] does a good job of explaining where this fits in, scientifically, but all I can think of is spies sending messages encoded in a piece of…

In my experience a good async culture is sustained by regular, high-quality check-in meetings. They serve as connecting moments that support team cohesion and camaraderie.

If there's two things HN hates it's UX designers, PMs and off-by-one errors. As a UX designer I have to laugh: one of the most important parts of building good UX is humility and a…

> It’s like these products that are in a way some of the most valuable products in the planet, are given a junior web dev and a “UX designer” who really doesn’t know anything about…

My take in this (ironic) comment was just "no feature is free", which I don't think should be odd coming from a UX designer! > the idea is perhaps that users vibe-code their own di…

> The real moat they have is SaaS vendors have everyone believe that trivial feature requests take time to implement. So true. People are going to be sooo mad when they find out we…

> as they scaled, forgot about an individual user If you're building for individual users you're not going to succeed. We all prioritize for broad success from the beginning. I'm v…

Israel kills people then calls them "operatives" after the fact. They have no credibility around these kinds of reports.

Gonna need at least a single link to a source before I believe this. Googling provides Facebook links and YouTube videos from Fox News and AI generated “news” sites.

If you’re not cavemaxxing you’re falling behind.

I believe that everyone deserves food housing and and security regardless of what they do or don’t do professionally. I have no logical argument only a moral one, which I sense wou…

From the post it's clear that the shop has a set schedule of services and prices that the bot is pulling from. All the things you're saying are true for a shop that needs to custom…

Yep! That's almost always the correct solution. It can be a lot to figure out, tho: which perspectives are most valuable to present? Are the linkages clear? Does this kind of box b…

As the resident Diagram Maker at my job I really appreciate any and all discourse on the topic. Knowing the purpose of your diagram is a hugely under-appreciated part of the proces…

What the AI doing now is in fact what classical radio DJs do; the author wants a general purpose smart music playing robot, not a “DJ” per se.

The issue is that in domains novel to the user they do not know what is trivially false or a non sequitur and the LLM will not help them filter these out. If LLMs are to be valuabl…

In my job the task of fully or appropriately specifying something is shared between PMs and the engineers. The engineers' job is to look carefully at what they received and highlig…

I caught that too. The piece is otherwise good imo, but "the luddites were wrong" is wrong. In fact, later in the piece the author essentially agrees – the proposals for UBI and ot…

These directions come from above the PMs, especially at a place as design-focused as Apple.

Or journalistic principles.

The matte effect is a huge part of why these look bad. Marble does an amazing job of showing off the subtle variations in the carving and matte paint flattens everything out. A glo…
