I think Elder Scrolls Oblivion was like 80 person core team and 4 years of development and New Vegas was like 70 person dev team and 2 years of development. But starfield, which wa…

My favorite is 20th Century Food Court in Last Call BBS. Some of the other games remind me too much of work (I’ve bought all of them including the coincidence card games but I have…

Not really if it takes you 15 minutes to write a 50 line function but it takes the AI 90 seconds then you already are at a 10x speedup just for this task. This (non-yolo mode AI co…

As someone who has used multiple vibe coded internal tools: you will care when you use these tools and encounter strange bugs and missing features. The human touch is visible in th…

Scale to zero is very useful.

When people say “you’re holding it wrong” it tells me they can’t even conceive of a better way of doing it. The models produce the same slop for everybody, you don’t have a special…

If anyone else couldn’t find the working paper link (the readme and conf link didn’t work for me) it’s this one here: https://github.com/antoinezambelli/forge/blob/main/docs/forg..…

It won't be an LLM that does it, the entire feature of an LLM is it produces generalizable reasonably "correct" text in response to a context. The system that makes it have an opin…

I experimented with vibe coding (not looking at the code myself) and it produced around 10k LOC even after refactors etc. I rewrote the same program using my own brain and just usi…

The problem we had with Arcs (and Root) is that we didn’t find the strategy as deep as Dune Imperium. If you think about Dune Imperium, when you make a turn, and even between turns…

I tried a few, the only one that really meshed with me in terms of competitiveness, strategy, constant pivoting and wide decision space is Dune Imperium Uprising. My group started …

Theres also spellfix1 which is an extension you can enable to get fuzzy search. And ON CONFLICT which can help dedupe among other things in a simple and performant way.

Personally, if I feel like you vibe coded your SaaS I’m probably not gonna pay for it. You can obviously tell when a project is vibe coded just based on the way it looks, the weird…

Dairy in the UK also tastes far better than in the US. British people often comment how hard it is to deal with the dairy in the US which tastes like water in comparison.

Rails 8.1 and ruby 3 are also very surprisingly fast, and coming back to an “omakase” framework is honestly a breath of fresh air especially now that with AI tools you can implemen…

I heard that the environment there is 996 with high turnover. So you might be paid double in comparison to a FAANG job but you work double as well. (This was about dev positions no…

One really useful usecase for Garage for me has been data engineering scripts. I can just use the S3 integration that every tool has to dump to garage and then I can more easily sc…

The parallel agent model is better for when you know the high level task you want to accomplish but the coding might take a long time. You can split it up in your head “we need to …

Not to be overly negative but I’m kinda disappointed with this and I have been a JetBrains shill for many years. I already use this workflow myself, just multiple terminals with Cl…

Was reading this old thread on first enterprise sales stories from 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11515307 Thought it might be interesting to hear what changed.

I agree, for me it’s my current weekend project to try to figure out a dirt cheap and high performance self hosted cloud for hosting stuff. So I’m still sticking with Route53 cause…

FYI if you want an s3 + CF analogue setup, b2 is integrated with bunny and allows private buckets: https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-integrate-bunny... I haven’t yet wor…

I think AI coding is another part of why this is seeing a resurgence. It’s a lot quicker to build quick and dirty scripts or debug the random issues that come up self hosting.
