In my peak programming years in Germany, about 5-6 years ago, every company that ever tried to hire me, wanted to do some sort of CRM for xyz. It’s fun when you build it once, but …

This looks like Tauri. I don’t know. I still prefer simply shipping Go binaries around that fire up a local web server and open the web page on start. I’m old enough to care about …

It's one thing having to download this monstrosity, and a whole other, having to use it daily to write code.

Generative art was my first love. By accident, I ended up being a student of the great Frieder Nake ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieder_Nake ) and that changed my future trajec…

Is this a hobby project or a real social media application with people using it? If there are at least 1000 ppl. using the platform, we can consider adding link aggregation for it …

My best takeaway from this post: > The friction of building personal apps has always been so high that as users we accepted the ads, the trackers, the dark patterns, and the consta…

Convince me that this wasn't written by an LLM.

Hey HN, Anthropic charges $20/month for Claude Pro, which is all fine, but we all know that this is heavily subsidized, and is not the real cost of tokens we burn through. The well…

I’ve been thinking about this a lot while building Murmel ( https://murmel.social ). One thing we wanted to avoid from day one was the “infinite engagement machine” model, so inste…

I think this post sums it up pretty well: https://preslav.me/2026/03/25/murmel-competition-identity-tr...

Interesting, I’ll check it out. But just like X RAW studio, I bet that it won’t work with my old X-E1.

More like what Nuzzel used to be back in the day: https://web.archive.org/web/20140321102815/http://nuzzel.com...

“I figured that I could always fall back to those blue links to get a relatively unadulterated experience. Now, I have to wonder.” When the last neutral layer goes, what's left is …

What’s next - coming after all the projects that have been coded using Claude Code, claiming they are their property?

I sleep badly, and have had tinnitus since I was a kid.

I’m old enough to remember and toy with the now long-dead XNA. It was lots of fun, and gave a lot of us students versed with C# a sort of first-hand exposure with the .NET. If only…

If only it were that rosy. I tested a few of the top open-source coding models on a beefy GPU machine, and they all behaved like anything about anything - simply rotating in circle…

Has anyone used this in earnest with something like OpenCode? Over the past few months I’ve tested a dozen models that were claimed to be nearly as good Claude Code or Codex, but t…

And so has been every other paradigm shift in human existence.

How does that compare against Nim?

Surprisingly, to me, it’s the other ways around - and, I’ve been writing code for two decades now. I love programming and even with AI, I will always have the last word, but I also…

They do. I’ve been teaching cross-career programming courses in the past, where most of my students had day jobs, some, involving hard physical work. They’d gladly swap all that fo…

We have a very similar feature on https://feedle.world . Every search has its own dedicated RSS feed that can new followed directly, as well as an iframe that can be embedded on ot…
