Eric, The Lean Startup had a huge influence on how I think about startups and product work, so first: thank you. Given the current wave of AI-assisted coding (Claude Code/Codex) an…

Over the years I’ve tried plenty of fast, "snappy" code editors, but always found myself returning to Sublime. Zed is the first one that got me to actually migrate. It does a great…

Funny, this mirrors almost exactly a decision I made after about a year of struggling with ELPA packages breaking on me repeatedly. I ended up cutting Emacs off from ELPA entirely,…

Hey HN, I built EventDock after losing ~$2.5k to missed Stripe webhooks during a deploy. The problem: Webhook platforms either have tiny free tiers or jump to $490+/mo (Svix, Hookd…

The input method needs to be improved. I can imagine a camera-based input that would help detect the wagging of a tail, or continued interest in the visuals as an indicator of doub…

Hi HN - Asaf here (founder of CloudExpat). We just shipped a release aimed at bringing FinOps into PRs/CI (instead of another dashboard). New in this release: - Public REST API for…

Hey thanks for the feedback! We're looking into Twilio actually. Will update as soon as it's supported.

I kept needing a quick way to see what Stripe / Shopify / GitHub webhooks actually send, without exposing localhost or hopping between dashboards. This is a small, focused webhook …

Hard to believe it's been 13 years! HN has been a wonderful source of both news and community - it connected me to my industry in ways that could only have been achieved otherwise …

Great write-up, thanks for sharing the numbers. I get pulled into a fair number of "why did my AWS bill explode?" situations, and this exact pattern (NAT + S3 + "I thought same-reg…

Hey, just a friendly reminder that this is HackerNews, not The Lancet. I have seen past comments here debating many relative basic concepts on medicine. Please don't take medical a…

You just opened my eyes to IMSLP and I would like to thank you for that. For years I have been chasing music scores that were just the right level for my kids.

F10 always worked for me, but some terminals use F10 for some other functionality. If that fails, you can click on "10 Quit" with the mouse (not ideal, but an immediate solution).

First commit: https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commit/c4cc52826a... Hard to believe it's been 27 years. I remember when it was still in beta, and how exciting it was to h…

Linux won in the long run, I don't see why robust LLM models won't do the same. In the end it'll be the scale of the infrastructure itself that will make the difference.

Initially thought Infrastructure As Code achieved this discovery.

I just add the websites I try to avoid to my hosts file (e.g. /etc/hosts): 127.0.0.1 facebook.com www.facebook.com

It is indeed a delicate balance, and different companies take it in different directions. I've seen ICs who focus almost entirely on a single pillar with minimal collaboration need…

After handling so many of these cases I decided to build a solution that helps with cost monitoring and optimization. It's a single click integration with AWS and Azure. We're curr…

Design is fantastic, every single detail is near-perfect. Unfortunately, the price tag is too high for this solution.
