absqueued··on You Are No Longer Invited to Dinner
I still do this once a month a more frequently, I think Oslo being a small city allows me and my friends to afford this with ease of public transport.

Me and a pal talked about this problem exactly a week ago, we chatted how we just invite more and more friends but sheldomly get invited ourselves, and our conclusion was some people just are not good at hosting. I say that because they never hesitate to attend.

hwoever, my phone contact is fileld with peoples allergies notes, likes/dislikes and similar so I keep the party fit for all. Catering to everyones allergy and everyone seems to have one here in West is mad challenging.

Yeah I got to the part 'We do not agree with these annoying colleagues', and thought - is this guy for serious? Then continue to read all the way down and concluded it has to sarcastic.
absqueued··on Flet 1.0 – Build cross-platform apps in Python
Yeah, I have been doing a small poc for mobile, then did a web export (why not) and the entire web app is one giant <canvas> element.

I have never written web app with Flutter so this caught me by surprise.

Alfred/Spotlight like quick access search[1] for Bitwarden.

absqueued··on Prohibited Countries – Mercury Bank
The email I received says "Due to recent changes in how we determine account eligibility, we are no longer able to support accounts for businesses with physical or residential addresses in these countries. As a result, we will be closing the Mercury account1 for xxx xxx, LLC on May 1, 2026."

So is this the end for Non-US founders? This was the only bank that offered accounts/fin service without being physically present.

absqueued··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
How is it a break from google/appple if the only supported devices are Pixels? I can't use my sony or other vendors hardware at all.

Are there valid reasons to only support pixels?

absqueued··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
I'm building a password tray app. It's tiny cross-platform app (spotlight like search) for people who juggle multiple password managers and browser profiles.

It gives you a global quick search to find and copy credentials from different sources, regardless of browser or profile.

absqueued··on A series of vignettes from my childhood and early career
I find the idea that IntelliJ being a job killer hard to believe, just like when some of my colleagues used to think Dreamweaver would wipe out frontend development - or 'HTML slicing', as we called it back then.
absqueued··on A series of vignettes from my childhood and early career
I actually posted with that title. Not sure what happend.

@dang could perhaps help?

absqueued··on A series of vignettes from my childhood and early career
I posted this link after reading all the way. Jason actually makes a good point - its just that this title is loud. Blog post itself isn't claiming the death of software engineering at all. If anything, it just shows that every five or ten years someone claims software engineering is dead.

Its not dead at all and it wont die either.

Why? chagpt, or figma or v0 can spin up a few pages of brochure site, even some blog posting level web apps, basic cruds you know. But I don't think it will replace full software engineering.

I work with a large codebase, thats almost 30 years old, multiple framework ( backbone, react, angular) and then java, python for backends. All from different phases and everything is stitched together to make it work, and have a well profit making business going on. There is no model or chatxyz that can dig throug all these connected apps and services and replace our engineering team. It helps us here and there- yeah a lot.

absqueued··on A series of vignettes from my childhood and early career
Its just the title, I have read the post texts before posting, he actually says its here to say dispite mainstream claiming coding is dead every other five year.
