ryanrana··on Redis uses less RAM than you think, nibble measures how much, and applies it
I've been using it as an internal tool on many projects that have done quite well. Decided to open source some of my work. Bucko.

Mr. Shoulders is a security layer that sits in front of your AI agents. It checks every request and response, blocks bad stuff, and keeps agents from going off the rails—without you maintaining a list of rules. It learns from feedback and adapts at runtime.
ryanrana··on Ask HN: How did you get from learning to code to making your first dollar?
so i started with python in like 2019, i was in 8th grade. i learned html, js, css in 2020 and i was able to make like really cool games and little chrome extensions for my sister and my mom lol. i realized i might have the skill to do stuff for real so i made a upwork profile and applied to a bunch of freelancer roles. got a bunch and made websites and all sorts of things, netted several k after a few weeks and i did this for 2 years on and off. I also thought at code ninjas lol. this was back in the day tho, a lot off ppl are not paying for swe freelance cuz of ai. i feel like now i would just grind projects that could become real tools, either youll make something that ppl pay for or u have a proof concept and get to work at cool tech companies.
