This is incredibly cool - almost feels uncanny valley territory. Really well done!

This is one of the most impressive demos I've seen in a while. Really nice job!

The content of the editor and the site preview were not loading previously. It seems to be resolved now.

This is incredible work for one person. Keen to try it out but like the website might be getting hugged.

Great advice! The other thing I'd add is to get at least 4-5 YC alum to review your application in a Google doc and do practice interviews with them if you make it to the next roun…

I LOVE this. I pitched something similar (albeit far less intelligent) to my last employer only to get scoffed at, so it makes me really happy to see someone actually make and prod…

The demo videos with different block types are super interesting. Assuming there are plans to add image blocks or other rich/dynamic media? Could see that being very powerful as ne…

This was one of the coolest demos I've seen in a while. You should share that number around more prominently (and get more bandwidth, starting to get errors!), it does a fantastic …

This is brilliant and beautifully designed. Kudos!

The recent progress is truly something else. My friends who are in tech and/or are founders have been talking about this a lot -- it feels palpable, as if there's something in the …

Github Copilot writes 50% of the code I write now, perhaps more. I'd say that's actual work.

This was my biggest “a-ha” realization around crypto, that the distribution model is utterly and irreparably broken for the most popular currencies. Whenever I bring this up with B…

https://mdolon.com/ Hasn't been updated in ages, need to get back into writing. This is a good reminder to do so!

Congrats on the launch, this looks great! I've been looking for something like this for sharing metrics internally. Will give it a try.

> How long did you take to 'rebuild your savings'? It depends on the pay, current expenses, etc. For me, it would take 1-2 years on average (US tech job paying base close to $200k)…

The question I always ask myself in these situations is: what am I optimizing for? Based on what you've shared, it sounds like you'd like to optimize for starting a family in the n…

Ah yes, Digg! Definitely spent a lot of time on there hunting for tech news.

What were the other sites HN users would hang out at back then? Slashdot? Google groups and listservs? Was HN really the first true "community" for this audience?

This must be an art project, right? Legitimately still perplexed.

This is incredible, nice work!

I quit my full time job as a Software Engineer in 2019 without a solid plan. I had some money saved up and knew I wanted to work on a startup, and had a laundry list of ideas I wan…

Hi Ryan. I've helped a few friends break into tech now and while I'm far from an expert, I do have opinions on how to approach it. If you're interested, drop me a line at my email …

I wrote this pre-pandemic, back in January of 2020. I was able to snag a bike at a used bike sale a few weeks after writing it. Congrats on your new bikes!
