  2. Ask HN: Why submit your AI-written article?

    genuinely, who do you think wants to read it? why do some of you wait to disclose that it's AI-written until the footer? what kind of internet are you interested in creating or experiencing, or do you just not even…

  4. The ongoing debacle of hiring a fake coworker

    so, just had a guy ousted today in part due to my own judgment, as well as my boss'. this guy passed the interview rounds cleanly with decent answers -- I was in one, and I suspected something was "off" about him, but…

  5. Ask HN: Do you need to look at the code?

    I see a lot of articles about compounding vibecoded debt, which for sure, unchecked, can tank a system. But in my experience even a little bit of guidance and interjection, combined with the LLM's superhuman parsing…

  7. Ask HN: Last time you wrote code?

  10. Ask HN: VSCode AI Autocomplete Woes

    hi, tab used to work mostly fine in vscode, but with the integration of copilot, AI has co-opted many situations where I simply want to indent or otherwise press tab without autocompleting via AI. I am looking for a way…

  11. Ask HN: My coworker's AI responses are driving me insane

    there's a user-facing worker on my team who regularly responds to users with AI slop. they don't even bother to remove the emdashes or adjust the pandering tone. it's absolutely nails on a chalkboard for me. I'm not…
