  3. Ask HN: Transitioning from web dev to more "impactful" tech

    As I enter the latter half of my career, I'm interested in working on problems that I consider more societally impactful. The first half of my career was centered around enterprise software and e-commerce. Nothing wrong…

  4. Ask HN: How has your salary changed over the past 5 years?

    Obviously I know this wouldn't be scientific, but I'm interested in knowing how folks salaries have changed since just before the pandemic. Clearly the pullback in tech has had an effect, and there were reports about 9…

  6. Ask HN: How do you think LLMs will affect society medium/long term?

  7. Ask HN: What is the definition of a “founding engineer”?

    I'm asking this question in response to this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32085475. The reason I'm asking is because the comp listed in that thread is "in the $160-180K range and equity around 1.5-2.0%".…

    This happened to me on a debit card a couple weeks ago, then to a bunch of colleagues more recently with Brex cards. All alerted that fraudulent attempts were made to use the cards at online merchants (Spotify, Shopify,…

  9. Ask HN: Is there a place on HN for interesting yet flame-war inducing topics?

    I ask this (as truly an open question, without knowing the answer) because of 2 recent posts on HN that got flagged, one a thought-provoking article by a Yale student titled "Abolish Yale", and the other about the…

  10. Ask HN: Is there any evidence that compliance audits improve security?

    Given the huge amount of work that goes into something like a SOC 2 audit, I'm just curious if there is any data that this process actually improves security. For example, some of the largest security breaches in recent…

  11. Ask HN: How should open source support critical dependencies?

    In something slightly similar to the infamous leftpad issue, many NPM builds started failing yesterday because 'npm audit' now reports a security vulnerability for lodash. lodash is currently in use in over 7 million…

  12. Ask HN: What's the state of blockchain for business use?

    Seems like "XYZ on blockchain!" had a massive hype train about 4-5 years ago, then fell into "it's 99% baloney" land about 2-3 years ago (much discussed here on HN, e.g. "You Do Not Need Blockchain: Popular Use Cases…

  13. Ask HN: Do you have Covid-19?

  16. Ask HN: How does your company account for things that are hard to measure?

    There were a bunch of good comments in the recent article about Amazon stuffing search results with ads around how ad revenue is easy to measure, while long term potentially negative impact to your brand is hard to…

  17. Ask HN: How does the Washington Post paywall get around Chrome's incognito mode?

    I've noticed that relatively recently (I think last 6 months or so, not sure) that the Washington Post paywall has been able to block access after multiple article reads, even if I'm using new Chrome incognito windows…

  19. Ask HN: Who is building “long lived” software?

    As a web e-commerce developer, I'm tired of building software that feels like it has a lifespan of 6 months before the next framework/business model/org change comes along. Is anyone building software with a lifespan of…
