  1. Ask HN: If the models are so good, why doesn't OpenAI just start 100 companies?

    Title is a bit of an exaggeration but the question is more: if the frontier models are so good, why even sell them as your primary money maker? Couldn't OpenAI or Anthropic make a lot more money by just starting…

  3. Ask HN: Why a Great Product Won't Succeed Without a Community

    I'm really tired, fed up, and angry. You can create the best product in the world, but people always choose what their favorite influencers tell them to. People don’t make their own decisions anymore; they always think…

  4. Ask HN: Everyone was Jev-maxxing. Why not CDMs now?

    Just a few weeks ago, all that my feed had was people JEV-maxxing. Everywhere, on every platform, every other post, just JEV. Then we got these CDMs from ScaleDown, which not only classify like jev but also do…

    I expect more and more professions getting affected in the next 3 to 5 years, not all on the positive side. Software dev is already changing. What are your plans? Are you planning to quit software altogether? Or stop…

  7. Ask HN: What is the main bottleneck facing Agentic AI today?

    Hey guys, today I read a statistic that showed that Agentic traffic surpassed human traffic on the internet and that statistic was very shocking to me. At the same time I saw another statistic that showed only 10% of…

  8. Ask HN: Why Is ChatGPT secretly Chinese?

    I've noticed a weird pattern: ChatGPT will occasionally generate the title of a conversation in the wrong language. For some reason the mistaken language is always Chinese. (I never use Chinese, I don't know Chinese,…

  9. Ask HN: Do you still read clean code and software architecture books?

    Now that we have coding agents writing all our code for us, are you still needing to reach out and read books such as clean code and other software architecture books? I think they are now more important than ever as…

  10. Ask HN: Are tab completion models dead?

    I think there is still place for this type of coding where you autocomplete predictable chunks and review it as you go. But I haven't seen much development in this space. Are there any notable models optimized for this…

    Four forces: 1) Books like "Why Johnny Can't Read" (1955) and "Why Johnny Can't Add" (1973), 2) emotional intelligence, like in Goleman, 3) kids creating new social structures, a little further than Postman World…

  19. Ask HN: What should a junior do to get a job?

    My question is pretty obvious. Before 2024, best way to get a job is to do portfolio projects but everything has been changed. With AI anyone can do anything (at least in portfolio project level). What would be your…

  25. Ask HN: How can I grow as an engineer in the AI era

    I'm a junior developer, with less than 1 yoe. I have to use AI at work because deadlines are tight, and if I try to solve something by myself, it would take too much time. Work has to be done like yesterday. I'm trying…
