    I wonder how many incredible founders and companies we're missing out on because the potential founders never left their jobs due to health insurance costs. Same for rising housing…

    There really needs to be a trade school for software engineering. Not just a short boot camp, either. A rigorous 4 year degree that focuses on industry relevant skills and hands-on…

    https://pleasetrymyapp.com I've been working on a map that shows which neighborhoods in a city are nice/not nice with a short description. Whenever I visit a new city, just looking…

    Show HN: Color-Coded Map of Which Areas Are Nice in San Francisco

    I'm visiting SF and I built this quick demo app for an Antler hackathon. It shows which neighborhoods are pleasant or unpleasant and a brief description & highlights. I showed this…

    It's not an AI issue. It's that in 4 years of a CS degree, CS students never touch a single kubectl command or barely build one functional web application in one software engineeri…

    I'm on the SSL/TLS team @ Cloudflare. We have great managed certificate products that folks should consider using as certificate validity periods continue to shorten.
