miguelbemartin··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
I think they mean that Omarchy is pretty much vibe-coded. Probably just an assumption.
miguelbemartin··on OpenLogi
I believe it varies; since it's merely a productivity tool, why not use it? However, if it's essential software that your business relies on, probably not.
miguelbemartin··on RamenHaus
A rotating ramen in the first position of HN? why?
miguelbemartin··on Show HN: Standup.so – Paste your commits, get a standup report in seconds
The idea is cool, but this is something that you can do with Claude Code already installed on your machine. What's the difference in using this app?
miguelbemartin··on Organizing Online Communities in 2026
Finding the best platform for organizing online communities is not easy. After Circle and Discourse, I am moving The Engineering Book Club to Discord. Any advice?
miguelbemartin··on Ask HN: Senior engineering mngrs: how has AI changed your day-to-day work?
You will need ICs to review the code, approve the PR, and this will go to the pipeline and eventually get released. So you won't avoid engineers having the context of this piece of work.

In my opinion, an EM should use these 10-15 minutes for any of the responsibilities that they have in their role.

miguelbemartin··on Ask HN: Senior engineering mngrs: how has AI changed your day-to-day work?
I've heard this a few times already on Twitter, but wouldn't your time be better spent in other areas? even if it is 10 or 15 mins? I am having a hard time understanding this sentiment from SEM.

If it's something that anyone could do in just 10 minutes, it could be another simple task for the ICs working with you.

miguelbemartin··on FracturedJson
Is JSON a format that needs improvement for human readability? I think there are much better ways to present data to users, and JSON is a format that should be used to transfer data from system to system.
miguelbemartin··on Google is dead. Where do we go now?
I see paid ads as a short-term goal; the business seems to be local, so people should find this when looking for this specific service in their city.
miguelbemartin··on Google is dead. Where do we go now?
Every website should be optimized for searches in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude,...
miguelbemartin··on Google is dead. Where do we go now?
Google is not dead in this case; what is dead is Ads on top of Google. I think the best way to fix this is to ensure that your website is optimized for searches in Google and in the new AI world.
miguelbemartin··on Why isn't online age verification just like showing your ID in person?
I think the parent should decide what the level of control is and what is appropriate for their child. I don't think we need to set up laws for everyone in the world.
miguelbemartin··on Why isn't online age verification just like showing your ID in person?
In my opinion, access to internet should always be behind a device controlled by an adult. And it should be this adult's responsibility to set appropriate restrictions for minors.
miguelbemartin··on Show HN: I added a print edition to my indie blog
That's really cool. Are you planning to print and send from the US, or do you have a service/company that does this for you?
miguelbemartin··on The Art of Multiprocessor Programming 2nd Edition Book Club
It's hard to keep people active for this kind of initiatives. I am also running an engineering book club and found the same challenges, especially with timezones. However, as soon as you find a group that can join every week at the same time over Zoom, it's the best way to build community and enjoy the discussions.
miguelbemartin··on Why don't you move abroad?
Love to hear your history, thanks for sharing it.
miguelbemartin··on Ask HN: How to price your AI Products?
Probably, charging per tokens is the best pricing for AI products.
miguelbemartin··on Against Best Practices
"Because it's best practices" can not be used as an argument.
miguelbemartin··on Against Best Practices
"Best practices" is a tool that you need to know how to use it. Same as any other tool. If you do use the same tool for everything, this is when a tool becomes a bad thing.

"Best practices" is a really good tool if you use it in the correct context.

miguelbemartin··on Show HN: You like debate? I got forum for you
Looks like is really generic website, It would appreciated more niche debates rather than trying to cover any possible topic.
miguelbemartin··on Ask HN: Why does Apple want me to expose my iPhone password to repair my screen?
I won't trust anyone, I would delete my personal data before leaving my device in the store.
miguelbemartin··on Ask HN: Why does Apple want me to expose my iPhone password to repair my screen?
You should delete all your personal data and then leave a mobile in the support store, I won't leave my phone unblocked to anyone.
miguelbemartin··on Every person on the planet should have their own website
I think the point is to own what you write and post on internet.
miguelbemartin··on Ask HN: Those making $1000/month or more on side projects – Show and tell
I believe that ideas usually come from personal needs or desires.
miguelbemartin··on Show HN: Boring Report, a news app that uses AI to desensationalize the news
Love the idea, it would be nice to have this as a chrome extension.
miguelbemartin··on Ask HN: Resources for older developers?
I find quite useful be part of tech communities where you can find inspiration from other professionals. Attending conferences, meetups, online communities, etc.
miguelbemartin··on Show HN: Engineering Book Club
I think this model works for SAAS companies, I don't think it can be implemented in a community, because the value is coming with the interactions and connections between people in the long term.
miguelbemartin··on Show HN: Engineering Book Club
There is not monetary model behind the community. If you read again my comment, you will see that the intention is only to maintain the operational costs by everyone together and a fee is way of getting commitment from everyone.

I basically organise the community because I enjoy reading books and sharing opinion with other professionals, that's it.

miguelbemartin··on Show HN: Engineering Book Club
Agree, this is why I simply offer a refund option, but not directly opening for everyone. Maybe, I can create a video to show what you will get inside the community, so it will allow people to get a sneak preview.
miguelbemartin··on Show HN: Engineering Book Club
The first book that we are going to read is "A Philosophy of Software Design", it's a book by John Ousterhout.
