    This post misses a couple of points 1.”Writing software was never the hard part” - isn’t saying coding was easy. The comparison was against building a viable product. Doing busines…

    I’d go with a balanced view: you need them both for any non-trivial product. I was recently reviewing a PR that renamed a model, I wanted to understand what happened under the hood…

    Glad you gave yak-shaving a proper definition. I was always annoyed at my boss for insisting on a particular arrangement of import statements in typescript files. For him, it was a…

    Task tracking is now obsolete. Only the slowest most inefficient firms do this. So yes, I am learning as well how tasks are now effectively harder to create than actually implement…

    I have fond memories of this project. Contributing to it really helped me ramp up my dev skills and was effectively my introduction to monorepo’s in JavaScript. It was the kind of …

    Ask HN: Non AI Contributor on Project Teams

    Once upon a time, we deployed a project to production and it seemed to have lots of bugs - some involving pagination not working on ui of all things. So many features felt flaky. A…

    All the author’s reasons for wanting the raw text that wasn’t altered by AI are all the reasons why I like to pass my messages through llms because for most people clarity in thoug…

    Outsourcing to thinking is exactly what I tell our developers. They are hired to do the kind of thinking I’d rather not do.

    I was reading the above PR and a couple of others that were rejected primarily because the person making the PR didn't even understand the problem to begin with. LLMs tend to make …

    Your setup is interesting. I’ve had my mind on this space for a while now but haven’t done any deep work on a setup that optimizes the things I’m interested in. I think at a fundam…

    Ask HN: Can someone explain why OpenAI credits expire?

    I was surprised to find out only recently that some credits I bought about a year a go were unusable because they had expired. I find this a bit concerning because it seems as thou…

    The comment section not being collapsible is my main pain point. Just wished I could skim the top three most voted top level comments and then look at others. Instead I get sucked …
