Here’s something: my chatGPT quietly assumed I had ADHD for around 9 months, up until October 2025. I don’t suffer from ADHD. I only found out through an answer that began “As you …

Hello HN, I made a simple web app for drawing up plays for amateur sports coaches: https://playmaker.click/playbook It's inspired by Excalidraw; I love how you can hit buttons and …

Hi all, Paul (Elevator) here. I'm posting this Show HN in response to (and support of) "Finally, I closed my LinkedIn" [1] posted here on HN yesterday. To echo PC Maffey's sentimen…

Ha! I recall Dynamic Drive.

My partner after me speaking about this, with zero irony: “I think that study is a load of shit”

Great to see this. Well said Justin. Love Laravel and it’s ecosystem. Also: almost 20 years ago I played session guitar for you. Great days! Hope you’re well. PG

Thanks! We’re only scratching the surface so far, and are regularly frustrated by things outside of our control (logistics, politics, the food industry at large being very behind i…

You don’t happen to work for a digital agency by any chance? I’ve seen multiple agencies botch implementing “management” after growing and needing to shift from a flat structure

Same - we’re getting some great insights from Metabase.

I understand the necessity of embargoes, but I’m a little torn on this one, given the ubiquity of Slack, IP crackdown mistakes aside. Hypothetical: If you build a product meant for…

“Category II Residential Zone: The permitted buildings include shops, offices, and hotel buildings as well as buildings with karaoke box”

What about moving into a field within the meta of what you used to do? Organisations of differing sizes benefit in a huge way (and pay for the privilege) to hear stories, “war” or …

It was a take on mutual respect really, the question itself irks me, and I’d never level it to a prospective employee. I would, however, try to obtain the same info using less jarr…

A question like that kind of does offend me, hence the curt response to it. If the interviewer needed to rely on such an obtuse question, then I’d surmise that they may not be fami…

“If you don’t know that already, let’s end this chat now” is my go-to. Companies and recruiters should know the qualities and capabilities of the person on the other side of the ta…

I've literally only used it for .animate() in the past 6 months. VueJS came and took over. Might be time to think about pulling jQUery out..

Side observation: kudos to Sam Kottler for level-headed acknowledgement of the business impact of an incident like this to Github’s clientele, and appearing to own it. Well done, s…
