sdybskiy··on Show HN: I Made an ESP32 On-Call Beeper
Very cool and detailed post, enjoyed reading it!

If I wanted to get into Fusion 360 and Autocad in general, what are some resources you’d recommend?

sdybskiy··on Show HN: Cursor Directory – From a 3-hour build to a 250k users/mo community
This is great! I've been using Cursor Directory pretty much since it's inception a few months ago and it's great to see it come this far this quickly. Will be diving into the code, kudos on making it OS!

Would love to see a blog and maybe some documentation as to how to create MCPs

sdybskiy··on Show HN: Practice actual work conversations (with LLM based feedback)
Very polished UX. The questions are good, one thing I've noticed is regardless of the voice recording, the questions keep coming, maybe a good feature would be to get more clarity on the question asked if the answer isn't exactly right. Would also love to see the transcription of the things I am saying as I am saying it.
sdybskiy··on Ask HN: SWEs how do you future-proof your career in light of LLMs?
I just copied the html from this thread into Claude to get a summary. I think being very realistic, a lot of SWE job requirements will be replaced by LLMs.

The expertise to pick the right tool for the right job based on previous experience that senior engineers poses is something that can probably be taught to an LLM.

Having the ability to provide a business case for the technology to stakeholders that aren't technologically savvy is going to be a people job for a while still.

I think positioning yourself as an expert / bridge between technology and business is what will future-proof a lot of SWE, but in reality, especially at larger organizations, there will be a trimming process where the workload of what was thought to need 10 engineers can be done with 2 engineers + LLMs.

I'm excited about the future where we're able to create software quicker and more contextual to each specific business need. Knowing how to do that can be an advantage for software engineers of different skill levels.

sdybskiy··on Show HN: Compare 10 CSS frameworks (with demos)
Great resource!

Some of these are based on Tailwind - dailyui for example, would be nice to have a collection called Tailwind so that I know which ones I can use with their CSS.

Additionally, I think it would be valuable to see which templating frameworks these have support for (React, Vue, etc) to help make more educated decisions.

sdybskiy··on Show HN: A beautiful crypto invoice generator
Built with NextJS, server actions + love and care
sdybskiy··on How I built a product in 5 weeks using Meteor and React
Ahaha @speedygrowth when I get another spare 4 weeks and enough sleep, I'll definitely try!
sdybskiy··on Show HN: HNSlack – Front page of Hacker News to your Slack, every day
looks good :) I wanted to make it easy to integrate it (someone without any knowledge of code can just set it up on their end and the front page once a day at 4 pm seems like an optimal medium to start with)

what's the threshold here? and if everyone sets up their own, with a million users, the server is making a million requests to the API and that's not super efficient
sdybskiy··on Show HN: FundingHunt – Daily Updates on Startup Funding
Built with Meteor, I love it!

Nope, might have been pushing updates. Check now!

We are hosting on Modulus. When you sign up, you get a $15 credit which can last you the first month but it all depends on how many servos you need to scale your app. Other great places to host is Heroku. Modulus was a lot easier to set up since it supports Meteor apps out of the box.
sdybskiy··on Show HN: Careers for people not going to college, built with Meteor
I used some custom css for those
sdybskiy··on Show HN: Careers for people not going to college, built with Meteor
Yeah the speed that Meteor is accelerating at as a framework is amazing to see, soon enough it will be playing with the big dogs no problem :)

Thanks for the feedback. Background image is now at ~300kb. is it still occurring if you refresh?

I am using Flow Router https://github.com/kadirahq/flow-router to route the app. And this is the package I'm using for pagination https://atmospherejs.com/miguelalarcos/flow-router-paginatio.... So far it hasn't let me down (there are a few bugs with the subscriptions on each individual page) but if you play around with the work style filter you'll see the collection reactivity and how it's reflected on the subscription and pagination. Thanks for your feedback! Waiting for Meteor to support pagination natively.

Can you be a little more specific about the bug, I'll take the blame.
sdybskiy··on Show HN: Careers for people not going to college, built with Meteor
Thanks for the feedback! Me being a 21 year old developer who didn't have his hands in the mud when all the big guys were in play (Rails, Django, etc), I went for a new framework like Meteor to see where my self-learning abilities can benefit me. So far it's been great in terms of the speed we can develop at and the transparency between front end and back-end (no missed import calls anywhere to crash the app). Meteor, to early adopters, and people who haven't played around with it too much, who also have a rich background in other frameworks, might seem like not the go-to but for us it's been great so far.

As a fellow self-taught developer, I agree. We see the need for showing possibilities that exist without a degree. As for Canadian companies? We’re in Canada and started with the big guys in our own backyard. However, career search can be done on any path for users in pretty much any location. American companies will be added soon with better localization.
