I multi-task. While I’m waiting for Claude, I either check email or work with a different instance of Claude on a second problem

I ran into a situation at work today that prompted me to write up a lesson I've learned over my past 20+ years of working in the field. In my experience, both software developers a…

Hey HN Community, For years I’ve received bug reports with stack traces that were garbled and hard to read. It’s easy enough to use a regular expression to fix them, but I noticed …

I really don't see any benefit of introducing a JSON API into the JDK. Jackson works great already. Are they really going to make something that much better?

+1 It is pretty astonishing they haven't done something about that. It doesn't seem like it should be a very hard language feature.

I believe AOL owns Winamp now. I hope they open source the code!

Where can we see the results of the survey?

It's nice to know that despite all the alarmist articles about the end of antibiotics, good progress is being made. If this works, it could completely replace traditional antibioti…

As usual, silly little phrases like this are just silly. Lots of things are tradeoffs, but not everything. For example, picking good variable names doesn't involve any tradeoffs.

The press release makes IE11 sound great, but as a developer I know it's going to be yet another version of IE I have to support :( Does anyone know how true the claims of 30% fast…
