What a time to be alive!

That said, it’s really impressive to have a camera and all this tech in a toothbrush

Oras··on Ask HN: Coding is a solved problem. What is left for experienced engineers?
> The important part seems to be knowing what to ask, what to check, and what you are actually trying to build.

1. Understanding user requirements/pain points is very important and many get it wrong.

2. Doing the architecture of the system within the org env/cloud/infra is often wrong by LLMs (for now).

3. Debugging when things go wrong. What to log, how to log it, and how to ensure not logging much or logging sensitive data.

4. Guide junior engineers, so they are not just accepting what LLMs are spiting.

By your logic, hacking is legal due to vulnerabilities
Oras··on Built crawler for career pages and ats boards, 18% of jobs never advertised
AI generated and misleading.

What does advertise mean? If it’s on company’s ATS page then it is advertised.

If it means not on job boards, this is another false claim as many job boards do scraping to cover more jobs and get organic traffic.

Oras··on OpenRouter is joining Stripe
Happy for the OpenRouter team. Been using the platform since early stages and the ability to run any AI model with the same api key and same request has been great to experiment with new models and being able to switch models in prod with minimal effort.

They also support fallback by default so you don’t have to write wrappers and logic to choose models, it just works with their SDk using config.

Oras··on Mistral OCR 4.1
faced something similar with Azure, try upscaling the page (2x or more) before sending to the OCR, it increased the accuracy a lot for tiny tables on landscape pages.
Oras··on Mistral OCR 4.1
Even comparing to AWS Textract or Azure Document Intelligence, this is very expensive (more than double)
Oras··on Mistral OCR 4.1
Same company that OCRed millions of books, the irony.

I feel Anthropic is destroying itself with all these restriction. They got away because their models were the best for coding, but that is not an advantage anymore as OpenAI and other open source are already better.

Oras··on Lovable raises $400M Series C
I totally see what you mean, but that didn't require Lovable, replit or $10-$50k before, a simple Wix or Framer would do the same, no?
Oras··on Vibe-Coding Startup Lovable Hits $13B Valuation
Genuine question, anyone used lovable or replit to create platform that has been used by real users?

I’m not talking about nice looking websites or forms, I mean something closer to a saas with user accounts and payments.

Oras··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
Agree with the article, but good luck convincing upper management about it.

“If it works, don’t fix it” until it doesn’t and we shall see a new wave of software hiring in a year or two.

Every enterprise is talking about AI Transformation, and that great with the right expectations. But those who think AI will just make platforms quick with less people and least experienced engineers, will have to prepare for the deinshitification transformation in a year or two.

There will be reservation fees to start the process that only charges when there is no-show or time wasters.

Restaurants in London started charging when there is no show for reservations.

Oras··on Kinney Drugs pulls back AI phone assistant after hundreds of customer complaints
I actually made another comment about lack of leadership causing many issues including exhausting dev teams.

What you describe is an execution failure not AI, these are basic NLP systems that could be easily configured with some dataset to make them better, but i will make a wild guess that the bank has incompetent manager who was pushing for some numbers to put in a slide to say “I” did this.

Not the first time I read a shitty implementation with Firebase, I'm not blaming the platform, but seems there is a huge skill issues around it.

Wasn't a dating app exposed this year with same negligence or firebase security?

Oras··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
My personal take is it’s not the tech or AI, it’s the lack of leadership to make things correct. I’ve seen it a lot in tech.

Working on your own project doesn’t seem tiring or as exhausting as a job, because it has the sense of achievement, you work, learn, make something that you believe is making a change. On the other side, you see how pointless the work is when it’s just contributing to a number in a slide for a manager that has no idea what they are doing.

The solution is not technical though, it’s human, and that is more challenging to fix.

Oras··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
It’s not only agency, and it sounds like you do your own thing which is great, but the pressure coming with it is not bearable by many. It’s kind of similar to competitive sport, thousands train and put the effort chasing a wild goose, but only handful make it big. That’s why it raises a question many others: is it really worth it?

And for that, I agree with you, it’s self-selected to take the suffering jounrey

Oras··on Herdr is joining Y Combinator. The runtime stays open
Thanks, good to know. I installed the update and will check it out again.

If it helps, the main reason I love cmux is how can I manage my projects into folders, I have fast access to all the projects which made my life a lot easier working in the terminal. I can also have coding, test, monitoring spilt in one tab per project.

Oras··on Why Normal People Aren't Using AI Agents
hmmm, where do I start?

> “I just have not heard a single person outside of the tech community talk about an agent that they use,”

Do non techies use programming languages or frameworks? do they design systems for their own use? They just use it without knowing. This is similar to "No one out of the automobile design industry talk about engine design"

And what about using the word "Normal" to describe non techies? so technical people are "not normal".
