How long did it take? How many ideas did you go through? What made you stick to an idea vs pivot? EDIT: People keep asking about the definition of success. Success means you had a venture that was successful from your…

Tried using Posthog but looks like it's getting blocked most of the time, its nearly impossible to do things like see conversion funnels for ads. Anyone using some self hosted solution? I'm guessing all the bigger…

At multiple companies I've worked for, we've always had a janky local set up. It's always near impossible to set up local dev and we've had an entire developer tools team supporting the hacky in house tool. Wondering if…

Seeing a lot of shocking things where upper management, from engineering managers and above who haven't written code or actually built things in years get completely swallowed by AI hype in a bad way. Some examples:…

I'm wondering if anyone is actually using LLMs to process documents reliably in production. One hallucination could lead to a host of issues. For example, if someone is using LLMs to process documents and enter data…

I have heard a lot of good things about the Playwright MCP, however I tried hooking it up to Claude Code to do some basic browser automation and it constantly blows up the context window on nearly every call. Anyone…

Hi HN! I've recently been finding productivity in running parallel CLI coding agents(after not believing in them initially). After having to do a ton of git stashing and branch fumbling, I decided I needed to something…

I'm struggling to understand how these tools are actually useful. The AI doesn't have the product knowledge to catch logic bugs, and basic tests should eliminate syntactic bugs/endless loops etc. Perhaps codebase…

I've seen hundreds of companies raise millions of dollar for automating things using AI, which probably don't need AI in the first place and could just be API calls. Is the market really that big for these solutions?

I recently semi vibe built a hobby project which went fairly well, however now that I'm actually productionizing it, I found so many things that I need to rewrite/restructure. I also don't have the same detailed context…

Wondering how the tech jobs/startup ecosystem is in Los Angeles. From searching around, seems like only aerospace/defense startups and big tech. Hardly any startups. The Who's Hiring thread from this month only had 2…

Hi all! I've been using ChatGPT to create and tweak my workout programs for a while now — but it was always a hassle. I had to manually type the workouts into my tracking app, and if I wanted AI to give feedback or…

Were you super passionate about your idea? Did you do it because it was tactically a good idea? Did you just want to get out of your job?

It seems like every CRUD application under the sun has been built, and it is difficult to carve out any value that can be productized. Anyone know of anyone that started with Saas(Non AI) recently and was successful?

Trying to understand the hype around AI agents. It's clear the AI is not intelligent enough to autonomously complete tasks, thus it needs to be encoded with some kind of decision tree. This seems to defeat the purpose…

Curious how other people handle feature releases at their companies. For my company, it's usually going through various tools to flip a feature flag, enable an experiment, close JIRA tickets, post to Slack that the…

Hello! I built this to solve a personal problem of where I didn't want to wade down large chains of HackerNews comment threads in order to get the key takeaways from the discussions. I built this Chrome extension, which…

Firebase changed their free tier from 10k SMS/day to 10/day. Check on your projects, I received a large bill today from mostly spammy SMS auth requests that I am attempting to have corrected.
