I hear more and more from people in companies of all sorts, are building internal tools/replacements of SaSS businesses. We built an automated QA agent based on Playwright, that do…

More montessori-style please.

For a moment I thought it was some open-source LLM trained on legal. It's not, it's a web app wrapping major LLM providers and streamlining legal workflows, uploading documents, an…

I do like Antigravity a lot and I use it on a daily basis. Are you referring to that or something else? I do find their marketing weird though and seems like their internal teams a…

I'm trying to do a deep dive on RAG/LLM based apps since I didn't had the chance yet. I'm building a chat-assistant that will be able to discuss with you and find more about what's…

Author here: just wanted to clarify that the question was meant to be for creating a local development environment.

What are some impressive setups you've seen or you've implemented on locally replicating a microservices architecture with local DBs and other backend dependencies. I'm looking int…

Yeah I get that, I was looking for personal subjunctive opinions.

I'm thinking that GDP is best used for longer term periods and not for a goverments' short term term, 4-10 years. For example, a goverement could be recklessly spending money that …

What would be the right indexes (or anything else) to evaluate a country's performance over a specific time period? I would like to evaluate my country's (Greece) last government p…

I can answer with an example, the famous book Algorithms to live by. It’s amazing how so many of everyday things can be explained with mathematics. https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Bria…

That's very interesting, I've never exposed to such a development environment. Is there maybe a GH repository or something that I can see the above in action? Thank you

Dear HN, I'm a software engineer with several years of experience in web development and generally SaaS products. In all my experience, the agile product development process has be…

I see you have a good suggestion but I haven’t really got what the problem is. Is it the weekly release cadence, you mentioned branch hell but tbh I’m not familiar with it, how doe…

It’s all about “listening” to the users with quotes because it doesn’t necessarily means face to face communication. Although f2f is best for relation building, it can’t really sca…

Same experience for me! Never worked as a barista but it was actually a super fun and educational journey to learn all things espresso and coffee. I bought a Mignon Zero grinder an…

I couldn't suggest what you should do next with your life because of course that's different to everyone. But seeing that your experience is mostly on FAANGs and big companies, hav…

I remember vividly the times when I was so much impressed of every single line of code I've written that day. I would stay up late at nights just to make the perfect piece of code,…

Tried it on my personal website. I'm blown away. > Kostas Bariotis is a software engineer who works at Grover, as well as being a co-organizer of a few tech events. He also has a p…

Do companies like Twilio do anything about spam the same or similar way Google for example handles spam? I guess that they are not obliged to deal with it at least in most countrie…

Greek here and I can tell you for sure that it's a big issue here, especially robocalls the past few years.

But meritocracy has more to do with capabilities rather than needs. We could argue that you've actually deserved what you got because you've worked for it (by fighting your depress…

Sometimes I'm being impressed by a very thorough, well structured, always up to date documentation page. Stripes', Slacks' and Jiras' documentation pages are the first three that c…
