    I haven’t hit these issues when using worktrees. But what’s a pain is having to compile from scratch every time, and not carrying over gitignored files.

    Even human-written posts in LinkedIn read like AI. No joke, moderating this sounds like a challenge.

    Our software and AI capabilities have improved astronomically… but nature is still nature. Working with the physical world is still so hard. Humbling, in a way.

    Show HN: I built an app that makes me exercise to scroll on social media

    Hi HN! After catching myself doomscrolling way too often, I got obsessed with this problem. Everyone talks about it, but real fixes are scarce. So I quit my job to tackle it. My fi…

    TikTok - you don't need followers to get views. It's not easy, especially if you've never used the platform before. But for B2C it's one of the best platforms. Do founder stories (…

    I've had issues with checking HN every too often. News overload is definitely a problem, too. It's also fun to go check the new posts sometimes.

    Some apps like ScreenZen allow you to block websites, if you're on Android. Pretty much any iOS app will let you restrict websites (because it's easier to implement there).

    There's TimeLimit on F-Droid. I found it hard to set up, though.
