Without other factors, luck alone is useless but all other factors are not sufficient without luck

Codeberg repo took only an eternity to load. So much for “snappy”.

Back in the day there was demand due to popularity.. in 2025, people are on various social media sites. I hardly read blogs myself, especially ever since X allowed paying customers to write long posts.

Even if you wanted to go back to blogging, you'd have to do it on substack, medium or some such platform with social built in.

My money is blogging being mostly for SEO. I don't know who's on the other end of the clicks, but they aren't reading for readings sake..

Amazing game, perfect for me.

Finishing the last 10-20% to release a project and then getting enough eyeballs on it are infinitely harder than creating the app, and I'm finally experiencing it first hand

I still have https://founderfodder.com going as well. That's where I get my HN news now. I get to read the story, or at least its summary, and also read the comments summaries like an editorial. It's great!

My new project is https://bingeworthyshows.tv where i take all the curated YouTube channels and make them easy to watch so you don't have to rot your brain on Netflix shows you don't really want to watch but end up watching because you can't find anything better to watch

I'm somewhere between the two extremes.. it's not so bad that I want to put it down, and it is also not as good as what some claim. On average, it's better than hand coding everything though, and even for digging into code written by others

That's crazy, is it really that hard? 37Signals can apparently do it and they are a tiny shop

I built https://founderfodder.com as an alternate way to read HN stories, plus it has summaries of the stories and the comments if you want to save some time

The hacks had to do with misconfigured databases, not directly related to the vibe coding

When were search results 100% fact checked and accurate??

What exactly does "will no longer be supported" mean?

Does it mean they'll stop working altogether?

Will they just not provide support for them but they'll keep working until the day they won't?

If it's the former, that's ridiculous and goes in the face of all the "good" they have been trying to do with the "leaf" program

Jobs directing, filtering, complementing Ive was clearly the winning combination.

Uber is slowly reinventing the "dolmuş" and "minibüs" concepts in Istanbul :)

> Neither? I'm surprised nobody has said it yet. I turned off AI autocomplete ...

This represents one group of developers and is certainly valid for that group. To each their own

For another group, where I belong, AI is a great companion! We can handle the noise and development speed is improved as well as the overall experience.

I prefer VSCode and GitHub copilot. My opinion is this combo will eventually eat all the rest, but that's besides the point.

Agent mode could be faster, sometimes it is rather slow thinking but not a big deal. This mode is all I use these days. Integration with the code base is a huge part of the great experience

Tariffs are effectively paid by the buyer, unless the seller reduces prices to counteract the tariff, which ain't gonna happen, so what is Trump trying to do, bankrupt us all? #angryface#

Not that it matters as much any more since SO is slowly dying, they should replace human moderates with AI and involve humans only when AI says it needs help with something

High level stuff: design, guidance, review etc.. but you can't get good at those without first coding a lot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A phone sitting idle is very unusual though, a very edge case

"Goldman Sachs estimates that the tariffs will create about 100,000 manufacturing jobs while destroying 500,000 others. In Pennsylvania, it's already starting"

China got to where it is by taking loooots of inspiration from American tech. And it's not their fault US doesn't like the Chinese gov yet won't stop using their facilities to manufacture because they are cheaper..

Would you care to post your ideas somewhere online so others can read, critique, try etc?

Every API is different/custom whereas MCP is supposed to be universal. Is that it?

Ok but why would every app and website implement this new protocol for the benefit of LLMs/agents?

100%! I find that folks like this are comparing specs on paper but have no clue what the real life differences are like in practice, hence missing out. Or maybe they are trying to justify not spending the money but still life is short, go for the best

The specs on paper do not do Apple justice. The screen alone is worth it. Your eyes are worth it

What do you use that blocks YouTube ads?
