Don't forget buying heroin from a dodgy .onion link!
Great show!
I sent out roughly 1,000 job apps last year and I had maybe a dozen interviews. Expecting worse hit rates this year. For reference, I'm a mid level web dev with 4 y.o.e. I have lots of friends with similar resumes (or…
codyklim.dev I probably need to throw some polish on it but I'm not a good UI designer and don't care for visual fluff
I haven't used them because I'm a big learn-by-doing guy that is constantly looking to expand or strengthen my skillset. Using a background coding agent takes all of the tinkering and debugging out of it, which is great…
True but I think if Pie In The Sky marketing leads to a catastrophic market crash and an economic depression, Sam Altman does deserve to be held accountable in some respect
From what I've seen it's easier with vibe coding / LLM tools to get a prototype built, but it's more difficult to initially flesh that prototype out and begin proper product development. Of course the business doesn't…
If you make $10k/yr you could hire a contractor to refactor it for a few grand, maybe more. It'd be worth it not to shut it down wholesale. Also I see some people are throwing their hats in the ring in the comments…
I've been wondering for a while if Sam is going to become an Elizabeth Holmes style figure with all of his talk about "a magic intelligence in the sky" and that in 5 years AI will replace 95% of marketing work. It seems…
I wonder how much "OnlyFans models applying for O-1 visas" is just sex trafficking with a thin veneer
Happy New Year from Indiana!
If you're using your YouTube and TikTok addictions to build things that other people can use, go nuts
My friend uses GarageBand to record her podcasts and says it sucks, I'm trying to build an app that'll make it easier for her (and other non-technical people) to record podcasts. Aiming to make it super simple, fun to…
I like programming as a craft, but the kinds of coding I do for fun and the kinds of coding I do for profit look very, very different. So, for my work programming I use AI a lot more than I do in my own time. After all,…
I thought HN traffic got blocked on my work's network for a second, phew! My lunch breaks would've gotten a lot more dull.
I haven't been around for much (27 y.o. with 4 y.o.e.) but I've applied for probably 500 jobs in the past 6 months, and had maybe 4 interviews out of it. It's tough out here.
Did she ram her car through the front door?
I think beyond a certain level surplus IQ begins to cause problems. While still useful, the amount of self-sabotage and thought spirals the brain can generate with the extra power can cause neuroses and unhappiness on a…
That's the spirit!
I have to assume rather than solving that problem the car will park on the curb and people will be expected to walk down and get it
Saw a lot of buzz about this on Twitter, looks fun! I'm hoping there's some good mod support so I can add in my hometown.

Why hire an American who will ask for benefits, significant time off, work/life balance, etc. when you can hire an H-1B that you can treat like an indentured servant?
Very much agree on your last point. I think finding out whether or not AI is actually boosting productivity is a problem of measuring productivity period, which at the very least my current company is pretty bad at. For…
I think a lot of the reasons for this is because AI helps provide a productivity boost to non-profitable sectors of most businesses, i.e. software development, finance, HR, etc. Since these departments do not directly…
