This is one of my favorite posts ever on HN. Thank you for sharing.

This being on the front page of hacker news is embarassing. Low substance post that is misleading if anything - I was hoping for a career reflection. Not a low-quality "pat on the back" post of no value

Why not use Claude Code Web or Codex on Web directly?

Why is that weird? The author is obviously impressed by writers, given they have an interesting in writing themselves, so it makes sense to use writers as an example.

And why is writing a less valuable profession than another job? Writing is also "doing a thing" - it just so happens to be a profession for some, a great one for those who are skilled and gifted at it.

This reminds me of "Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships. (https://read.engineerscodex.com/p/good-programmers-worry-abo...).

From Linus Torvalds:

"git actually has a simple design, with stable and reasonably well-documented data structures. In fact, I'm a huge proponent of designing your code around the data, rather than the other way around, and I think it's one of the reasons git has been fairly successful […] I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important.

...

Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships."

Agree this is great from Larian. Though BG3 does run fine on Steam Deck as it is, especially for such a large game.

People have been saying this for the last 10 years.

There are apps that do this. Check out Zolt or Gentler Streak.

The real problem with most "business co-founders" is that they are lazy and don't put in effort. Full-stop. I've seen this happen with enough of my peers that a "business co-founder" is never called a "business co-founder", but rather an operator or salesperson.

This is hilarious, and so true

this part: "key to making the system work effectively and sustainably".

Looks awesome! How do you plan to monetize down the road?

Engineer's Codex is great: https://read.engineerscodex.com/

This comment makes no sense. How has Threads failed? It's literally the #1 free app on the App Store right now and has been for a while.

The fact that these are Roblox games are blowing my mind. Wow!

So do most LLMs now days, no?

How is Paul Graham not an actual writer? He has written some extremely influential essays that have reached outside of just Silicon Valley.

This is EXTREMELY cool!! Thanks so much for making this, I'm definitely going to be using this. :D

At that point, why not just use a SQL database with a JSONB column and then add columns as you slowly finalize your schema? :)

Agree with not using mocks and following PRY especially. Oh man - it's so easy to want to make code so neat and clean with perfect reusable classes and tests, but honestly, its more effort than its worth in 99% of cases.

Very cool. Is there a source for this?

I use YouTube Premium 90% of the time now for this reason. All the remixes and other indie mixes that I listen to are on YouTube and YouTube has so much more that I find it a hard value proposition to beat.

Nope. I like having it on. Seeing the yearly review in Google Maps is amazing.

It really is! I didn't go back and click on the homepage til I read this comment, but the vibes of it are amazing.

Do you have a link? I get no such outputs. I just tried asking about the Heian period and went ahead and verified all the information, and nothing was wrong. Lots of info on the Fujiwara clan at the time.

Curious to see a link.

Super impressive and I like how he's honest about how the differentiation here was timing. He was a first mover (if not the first mover) in this space and that allowed him to win in a space where differentiating on technology is almost impossible.

It's not shutdowned I'm pretty sure. Looks like a bug. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Holy crap!! I never knew that. I watched this guy so much in 5th grade, he helped me get my 3x3 time down to 8 seconds.

This is insane
