  1. Ask HN: The Best Computer Activities for Kids in 2025?

    My 11-year-old loves Fortnite, which is mostly fine—but I’d love to shift some of that screen time toward something more creative or productive. We’ve tried programming with Scratch, but it didn’t quite click. He’s into…

  4. Ask HN: What will Arm Macs mean?

    I'm trying to get a sense of how significant the transition to Arm will be. The spectrum of possibilities seems extremely wide. Some say it will be a massive performance gain, others say just an incremental jump. The…

  5. Ask HN: Is all programming constantly changing or just front-end JavaScript?

    I've been working on frontend dev for several years now, in the pre and post framework era. React and the other frameworks and ES6 in general, has meant a ton of change to the very basics of how we work. The way I do…

  6. Ask HN: How do I sell my business?

    I've got a friend (no, really) who owns an office equipment business. He has about 5 employees and has a recurring income of about $30-40k per month. If he sells more, he can make more, but that $30-40 comes from…

  11. Ask HN: How much are you worth?

    Chris Coyier (of CSS Tricks) suggested on his ShopTalk Show podcast (#82), that an intermediate-level developer could get a job in the $100,000 salary range in San Francisco. Is this true? If it is true, how much am I…

  14. BS Job Ads (medium.com)

    "It’s a huge plus if you can prototype your designs and have experience with HTML and CSS." That's just BS. There's no way the team behind Medium would even interview someone who couldn't code even basic html/css.

  17. Ask HN: Chairs for programmers

    What office/work chair do you use? A Leap? An Aeron? A Freedom? Are you tall? Have you found one to fit you? My hip-knee (femur) measurement is 22", but almost all chair-makers stick with the standard 19". Have any tall…

  22. What the hell should I try and learn?

    "Learn to code" is the new black. But what should one learn? Javascript? Rails? Djanjo? PHP? ASP? Node? jQuery? Sinatra? iOS? WordPress? Drupal? etc etc etc. (I recognize that some of these are foundations for others).…
