pknerd··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (February 2024)
SEEKING WORK Location: Pakistan Email: kadnan@gmail.com

I am a seasoned backend software developer with over 13 years of experience, specializing in data-related tasks and automation for the past 7-8 years. My expertise includes API design and integration, web scraping, ETLs, and bots development and integration for platforms such as Discord, Telegram, Slack, and Trading applications. This post specifically focuses on AI automation. Here are some recent projects I've worked on:

Chatbot integration: for example, a real estate chatbot[1] that recommends properties and captures leads. This chatbot is customizable to meet your specific requirements.

Leveraged LLMs like chatGPT/Bard to generate content for a particular niche. For instance, I used it to create a stock market summary[2] at the end of the day, automatically posting it as a WordPress blog post. I also used OpenAI APIs to create a stock sentiment analysis system[3] based on news.

Developed custom GPTs tailored to individual needs. As an example, I recently integrated the GPTs[3] of a client who designed a custom GPT for product offers. This integration significantly reduced freelancing costs by at least 40%.

It'd be nice to add some bell notification when someone gets connected. I just can't stare the screen all the time.
pknerd··on Show HN: Coffeehouse, one-on-one voicechat with random HN users
A mobile app for this would be awesome, even if a browser control

Seems it's down now. But I was able to talk another karachiite in Toronto
pknerd··on Surf the web like it's 1999
No JS framework, no NPM, no AJAX, and so on. The web was so simple, and so was life.

UI is confusing. As someone who is living in Pakistan, I do not know what to put on location fields.
pknerd··on Show HN: I made a tool to compare time zones
Brilliant! Thanks for this.

Being someone who lives in Asia and interacts with clients(potential clients) in the Americas, I often find it difficulty to select a timeslot for a meeting. This tool will help a lot.

A Mac Version(Menu bar item) would be awesome

pknerd··on LLMs and Programming in the first days of 2024
Besides using chatGPT for certain pieces of code that use a 3rd party library. I successfully used it as a "Code Reviewer". I recently copied functions of a Symfony PHP controller and asked for a code review and suggestions for refactoring with code and reasons. Surprisingly it worked very well and I was able to refactor a good amount of code.
pknerd··on Building ColdFusion for the Web
Ah.. my first Job was writing apps in cfm.
pknerd··on Ask HN: What are good books/blogs to read for a first time CTO?
So, does a CTO need to know about:

- Dev/ML/X Ops

- System Architecture

- DB design? etc?

pknerd··on Website search hurts my feelings
I will get bored if I am not exposed to what is available on the platform and will get unsubscribed. It's like social feed of a social media platform
pknerd··on Website search hurts my feelings
Do not want to miss a chance to empty your pockets
pknerd··on Suno AI
hahah wow! cool :-)

PS: OT, I am reading this Bark thing(https://github.com/suno-ai/bark). Can I run it locally on a Macbook 2015 with 8GB RAM?

pknerd··on Show HN: I made a dead simple logo maker
Yes, thanks. I do know about it and I am moving that part as a subfolder soon
pknerd··on Suno AI
Has this been made by subcontinent people? "Suno" in Hindi/Urdu means "Listen!"
pknerd··on Hacker News Activity Analysis with GPT-4 Agent
Interesting Stuff. OpenBB has also implemented an LLM/AI-based solution using GPT to query stock/trading data in QnA format. I want to do something similar with an e-commerce website using RDBMS(MySQL/pgSQL). Does anyone know any such solution?

Like, if I am running a t-shirt store, my users can query like: "Do you have a round neck t-shirt in red color in XL size" and it returns all relevant results
