Last year I was trying out cars for a new purchase and was excited to try out the Subaru Outback. After one drive I decided I would never buy a Subaru because of their software. Lo…

Whether we like it or not, coding is now about how you can leverage Claude/OpenAI/Gemini to do the work for you. If you don't have these skills I would focus some effort there. Are…

We're building https://brooked.io/ . In the same way that Cursor provides a lot of features on top of the base agents, we want to do the same for spreadsheets. There are many workf…

I think it’s ok that it’s similar to other SaaS websites. It wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for LLMs and it gets the job done and looks decent.

We built the frontend for https://brooked.io and https://app.brooked.io using only prompting so I agree!

Anecdotal, but I'm extremely disappointed with my Hyundai Tucson purchase. It's the first car I've owned. The drive train is gone on it and the mechanic says it's a common issue. O…

I’ve reviewed stacked PRs a couple of times and found it pretty terrible. The only one that ends up making any sense is the first. Better off with either just one single big PR, or…

I guess I was just disagreeing with your opening sentence, the rest was spot on.

Disagree. Gukesh was constantly putting pressure on Ding to find defensive moves and Ding finally made a mistake. The fact that it happened when it did just makes it even more dram…

Can a bear be blamed for murder? Somewhere in between the two is where AI models currently are, and they’re going to continue getting closer to the bear scenario.

Second this. Libraries like Material UI are battle tested and cover the vast majority of components you’re going to need. You can extend or theme them to match your needs and often…

It’s interesting to read comment threads of people that are dead set against Typescript. It’s a tool that has very few downsides and that improves nearly every single line of code …

Seems like the gases are getting compressed either way and it's just different ways of wording the same effect. As for it being reversible or not, is it not just a matter of whethe…

There are a some things in your comment that give me the impression that your opinions are too strong for your experience. 99% of codebases are bad. It’s the baseline condition. It…

Realizing that external dependencies are regular codebases just like the one you're working on. That you can open them up in VSCode, look around and figure out any bugs or issues y…

I'm curious why you don't recommend PowerBI. What are the pain points?

Ah, thanks! I've added it.

Hoping this doesn’t go against any HN guidelines. My apologies in advance if it does. With the holidays coming up I'll have some free time on my hands and would like to give back s…

Personally I call this « playing piano », as I’m not sure I’ve ever gotten passed this stage when practicing..

I think it's a good point and something I find myself worrying about as well. The hype around GraphQL and Apollo, for example, made me feel that I was losing serious time developin…

Agreed! I got back into piano at the beginning of quarantine and it's been really interesting for learning how I learn. As you said, to make any level of progress on new pieces I n…

I cannot agree more. I haven't felt so strongly about a book in a long time.
