4m1rk··on The Productivity Mirage
It's not about productivity, it's about having fun with your toys.
4m1rk··on Give Smart People the Tools to Do Smart Things
> Compilers did not replace programmers. Spreadsheets did not replace accountants. CAD systems did not replace engineers.

In the long run, this is as misleading as saying: Humans did not replace animals.

4m1rk··on GPT-5.5
It probably would, to save energy
4m1rk··on Show HN: Dev Personality Test
No they are generated at build time (static). I was thinking of generating on the fly but wanted to release and get feedback first. Re. multiple choice, is easier than typing I guess.
4m1rk··on Show HN: Pluck – Copy any UI from any website, paste it into AI coding tools
Depending on your OS/screenshot tool, you can bind a key to select an area and copy it to the clipboard, then paste directly into Claude (Ctrl/Command+V). No cluttering.
4m1rk··on Ministack (Replacement for LocalStack)
I suppose (among many other things) LLMs are changing this. We no longer need that many contributors when we can use AWS docs, intercept AWS API calls and give it to AI agent to mimic. Of course, contributors are still needed for maintaining tests and validations.
4m1rk··on Ask HN: How to be alone?
Thank you!
4m1rk··on Ask HN: How to be alone?
I didn't say there's no creator. I'm pretty confident that the God defined by these religions doesn't exist. Since then, I have lived comfortably with knowing enough that I don't know and might never know.
4m1rk··on Ask HN: How to be alone?
Coming from a moderate muslim family, my life actually got a huge upgrade when I realised God doesn't exist (at least the way religions describe it).
4m1rk··on Targeted Bets: An alternative approach to the job hunt
I love it, but 1) I don't have good ideas to implement, 2) I need to do the same as job hunting, just dealing with more than one customer.
4m1rk··on Show HN: Rewrote my most important util in Rust
Rust experts, appreciate your feedback on the code quality and idioms!

4m1rk··on Show HN: FFmpeg in plain English – LLM-assisted FFmpeg in the browser
simonw's llm is amazing. Basically disappointed me for trying to build any LLM powered cli tool
4m1rk··on Show HN: Asciilator.com
I'm curious too. Should've make it explain why it generated what generated and as a note :D
4m1rk··on Show HN: Asciilator.com
It was too excited ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
4m1rk··on Show HN: Asciilator.com
I like that! Though it's not very smart or consistent at creating ascii art.
4m1rk··on Show HN: Asciilator.com
Even the UI is created by AI :bushes:
4m1rk··on Show HN: Asciilator.com
Yeah, it sometimes doesn't feel like it. I tried different prompts but it's not that smart at generating ascii art.

4m1rk··on Show HN: A bi-directional, persisted KV store that is faster than Redis
What's the tech stack? If you can share.
4m1rk··on A layoff fundamentally changed how I perceive work
At least your performance has 100% impact, so it's all up to you rather than someone else.
4m1rk··on A layoff fundamentally changed how I perceive work
Even better is working for yourself.
