Location: Netherlands Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No, but happy to work US hours (SF/NYC) Technologies: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, Figma, REST APIs, Claude/Codex/AI tooling Website: https://www.marcia.no Email: hn@marcianoplanque.nl

Hey, I'm Marciano, a design engineer with 7+ years of shipping consumer apps, platforms and internal tools. I take things from first concept to production code myself, so there's no handoff in between.

Recent stuff:

- Localthings.nl: an AI map builder that went viral during last year's Dutch elections

- Preparty.fm: a video platform for getting in the mood before a night out

- joinvit.club: a health app I'm building now (yes, like everyone)

- uitgever.verydisco.press/en: A project to help Dutch journalists be less dependent on Big Tech.

I'm looking for a part-time role (~24h/week) on something meaningful in health, sustainability or community tech.

I'm at my best where design and engineering are one role (which, by now, I think we can all agree they should be). I own features from first sketch to deploy (these days I mostly design in code and keep Figma for early exploration). I work fast, think in systems and care a lot about clarity and usability. If you're building something people should actually use, let's talk :)

cool! for me its company ethics

why does boris have this urge to become an influencer

its not “oddly” and u know full well

..every tech company has bern doing this

used their Code product with GLM4.7. its fun but if the model is bad it just doesn’t do much useful.

Hope they add such models to Code too :)

As a European: I do.

the amount of ads on this page oh lord

zitron is a jester. He knows his audience and plays it well. It is incredibly tiring to listen to his lies, but so are the AI boosters. I think it is net zero

anil sold out stackoverflow

it’s ok to just sympathize instead of running to those conclusions

This resonates. Had this in the start of the year with clients sending me their “research”, which, of course, was just a Deep Research result. Lead me to send this article when I work with folks: https://www.marcia.no/words/etiquette

I like to think it helped, but likely what helped was that nobody seems to use Deep Research anymore, haha.

u are doing HN better than simon lately, nice

i like ur posts. have u considered recording audio for them?

I can totally agree that Apple sucks for doing this, but you seem to insinuate they started this. As always Apple wasn’t first not even tenth: Nintendo, Steam, Xbox, Kindle all did it prior to “the platform economy” 3)

why did they miss the market that is OpenRouter?

In many things in life it’s wise to think further than just what suits your needs personally

the comments in this thread is what makes me love hn

this sounds likely, but they definitely did have real plans with Touch Bar. They thought it was an answer to laptops having a touch screen.

“our stock price went down today, here’s something to feed it”

why is this on HN lol

those lists exist everywhere. They don’t really work so well :)

..so? It’s better than what we have now

using cirrux.me and very happy with an actual EU hosted option (Team is Dutch)

seeing this was done 5yrs ago. Is this easily recreatable by an AI model nowadays? If so, what does it make you feel?

Inferior Secretary

Gurman is looking to shift from being “The Apple Guy” to “The AI Hardware guy”

Does this whataboutism work for you, generally?
