What notifications are you missing specifically?

Personally I’m receiving native macOS notifications from Claude (both the app and the CLI), and there’s also the hook system, which you can script to send even more custom notifications.

What am I missing?

gondo··on Nobody gets promoted for simplicity
People on call will use AI as well. As long as the first AI left enough documentation and implemented traceability, the diagnosing AI should have an easier time proposing a fix. Ideally, AI would prepare the PR or rollback plan. In a utopia, AI would execute it and recover the system until a human wakes up.

Or at least there is something to chat with about the issue at 3am.

gondo··on Developers can now submit apps to ChatGPT

This can backfire and work the other way around. Existing employees may try to renegotiate their compensation and threaten to leave.
gondo··on Cursor 1.0
AugmentCode is really good. It has mostly replaced my coding for the past 2 weeks. I am "reduced" to prompting, reviewing, and re-prompting. And I can do this in parallel, working on 2-3 tasks at the same time (using GoLand, AndroidStudio and JetBrains). As long as I can context switch and keep the context in my head.

This might be amazing progress, but I would never know as the website is consistently crashing Safari on my iPhone 13.
gondo··on Lit: Simple, fast web components
Do you really need jQuery though? Pure JavaScript is viable these days.
gondo··on Show HN: Plus – Self-updating screenshots
I created an iOS app for "self-updating" widgets [1] based on the same principle:

gondo··on Apple hit with EU antitrust charge over its payment technology
I hold the phone more often than my wallet or physical card. It takes less time to use it for payment than pulling the card out of my wallet in my pocket, if I carry it in the first place.
gondo··on Impulse Space is betting on a future where launch is cheap
Private internet satellites is going to be a big market. Russian space program collapsing for quite some time and only being escalated recently. SpaceX paving a way for profitable private space business.
