lgvld··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (March 2026)

lgvld··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (March 2026)
Location: Paris, France

Remote: Remote first, but I enjoy spending time with my collaborators (especially at the beginning of a mission) and traveling for work from time to time.

Willing to relocate: Temporarily, depending on the job but not for more than 6 months. Might be only available 2 days/week during the next months.

Technologies: Can learn anything web related very quickly but I'm especially proficient as a full stack working with a boring Python/Django/PostgreSQL stack. I enjoy working with Vue.js or Svelte but I will keep using HTMX or Alpine.js whenever I can out of simplicity. Happy to use low-code tools and vibe code stuff when it makes sense. I can also use Cloud solutions (GCP, Render, Heroku, AWS) or administrate a Linux server.

Résumé/CV: https://louis.ga/cv/en/#exp

Email: hn [AT] louis [DOT] ga

Python/Django specialist looking for projects bridging tech and physical world. Currently available for freelance work. I bring 5+ years building production software—from co-founding a legal tech startup where I wore every hat from Linux sysadmin to team lead, to a recent stint at Louis Vuitton on JS/TypeScript. Comfortable across the stack, with particular depth in data pipelines, ML/computer vision, and making things work reliably at scale. M.S. in Computer Science (computer vision) from Sorbonne, dual B.S. in Math & CS, plus a foundation year in applied arts. This mix shows up in my work—I care about both what's under the hood and what users actually see.

I'm quite good with people and enjoy being part of a team. Looking for interesting projects at the intersection of software and visual/creative domains, or anything hardware / real world related -- but honestly, I enjoy hard problems wherever they live.

Open to contracts, part-time collaborations, or interesting project-based work. Based in Paris, remote-friendly.

Don't hesitate to get in touch. ;-)

Regards.

lgvld··on Electrobun v1: Build fast, tiny, and cross-platform desktop apps with TypeScript
> Instead of distributing Chromium, By default Electrobun uses your system's native WebView (WebKit on macOS, Edge WebView2 on Windows, WebKitGTK on Linux).

still:

> Optional CEF: bundle CEF (Chromium) when cross-platform consistency matters most.

lgvld··on Doom has been ported to an earbud
Yes such a fantastic book. I thought about it recently while reading this article about the three teenagers who created the Mirai botnet, same vibes, you would probably like it: https://www.wired.com/story/mirai-untold-story-three-young-h...
lgvld··on Show HN: I quit coding years ago. AI brought me back
He said fun, not easy. Sometimes it's precisely doing brainless stuff over and over again that becomes hard, like writing a template displaying a table of your results or implementing filter and pagination on a web app. I don't feel like I'm growing anymore when doing those things. Or even for some tests. Or when you need a Bash script automating menial stuff. (Still you could find new perspective on things.)
lgvld··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
We do need this. HN is quite US-centered and sometimes I'm tired of it. So good luck. I'll be part of it.

EDIT: There is indeed a bug: clicking on a title which is an internal link sends you to the wrong page -- you have to click on the comments count.

lgvld··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
Funny stuff, that's cool.
lgvld··on I sell onions on the Internet (2019)
Very probably.

I am also curious to know wether a domain name still confers a solid advantage. Now that so many people use social networks like Instagram, does (the SEO or domain name, etc. of) your website remain a critical part of the process?

Actually the SEO plays an important role in some areas, for sure.

lgvld··on Show HN: Lamp Carousel – DIY kinetic sculpture powered by lamp heat (2024)
So cool, thanks for sharing.

We used to do that as children as well: a spiral cutted out of paper on top of a long skewer stuck into a potato. Felt like perpetual motion somehow.

It works if you put it on top of a radiator btw.

LMS stands for Learning Management System, I didn't know.
lgvld··on I got hacked: My Hetzner server started mining Monero
Absolutely. Thank you.
lgvld··on Please just try HTMX
I love Unploy, the documentation as well, but I find it a bit too complex. For even simpler usecases I often use Alpine AJAX [1], which is an Alpine.js plugin giving your links and forms -- only, because progressive enhancement -- basic AJAX capabilities.

lgvld··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2025)
cool offer ;-)

is it open to non-US candidates though? EU in my case, for a remote position.

thanks!

lgvld··on Android and iPhone users can now share files, starting with the Pixel 10
Very cool, didn't know such app had existed, thank you! Wanted to use a similar approach to connect people in a smaller friends-only social network.
lgvld··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
Very cool stuff, bravo! :-)
lgvld··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
Like the first one because it's so simple, but you need to add a QR code somewhere: it would make a list more easily shareable. ;-)

yes there are ;-)

FYI I am able to export (as JSON/HTML/XML) my Pinboard bookmarks.
lgvld··on KickStart – AI Generated HTML Forms
Hi, congratulations for the launch!

Was inspired to build something similar -- after playing a bit with JSON/serialized FormKit forms -- but didn't thought of generating forms from paper. Amazing! ;-)

Wish you the best!

lgvld··on Why AI Infrastructure Startups Are Insanely Hard to Build
