shove··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
I’ve been building an offline first animation webapp. CRDT-driven to support eventual team features. Just got tweening working this weekend, exporting to video is next.
shove··on The Remarkable Incompetence at the Heart of Tech
The article is about incompetence. Incompetence while doing a fraud gets you sent to prison.
shove··on A look at IBM's short-lived "butterfly" ThinkPad 701 of 1995
I did Thinkpad tech support at IBM right around the time these were discontinued. Great machine, rarely had any problems aside from getting drivers and IRQs configured when folks decided to install Win95
shove··on Figma files for proposed IPO
Stamen! One of the OGs at this point.
shove··on How to Leave the House
This is probably the least controversial thing Mike has ever written, so naturally the HN consensus appears to be universal scorn. (And for the record, I don’t even like dogs, but I’m also aware that’s a me problem.)
shove··on Stop Writing Brittle Playwright Tests: Why YAML-Based Testing Is the Future
So the answer to “how are we going to verify that vibe-coded application code does what we think it does is “we’re going to vibe-code the tests too”?
shove··on Infinite Grid of Resistors
Word on the street was that my Physics professor at NCSSM (Dr Britton) worked on this problem during his doctorate
shove··on Corporations as Paperclip Maximizers
Downvotes incoming in three … two …
shove··on Corporations as Paperclip Maximizers
CMD-F “capitalism”: zero matches

LOL

shove··on GUIs are built at least 2.5 times
Another common conflation is graphic design vs application design. Fusion 360 has strong graphic design and meh application design.
shove··on Why Blender Changing to Vulkan Is Groundbreaking [video]
All the videos I’ve encountered from this channel have a disconcerting combination of incredible production value, and highly questionable attention to detail with respect to the information that’s being disseminated
shove··on International Workers' Day
This is presumably sarcastic, but be aware you’re posting on HN where such opinions are held unironically.
shove··on The Difficulty in Dating Good Men
C’mon. Everyone wants unobtainium.
shove··on A 1980s toy robot arm inspired modern robotics
I still have the muscle memory for these controls. I was completely gobsmacked when I disassembled it and saw the concentric rings of gears. Very very cool.
shove··on What a refugee camp reveals about economics
Author attempts to use this paper to dunk on Marx’ labor theory of value, but Marx discusses this extensively in Capital: price and value are often interchangeable, but not always.
shove··on Senior Developer Skills in the AI Age
“Maybe you didn’t hear me, I said ‘good morning steam driver, how are you?’”
shove··on Revenge of the Junior Developer
That was the only thing that conclusively gave it away!
shove··on Revenge of the Junior Developer
I read the whole thing, top to bottom, and by the 80% mark, I still wasn’t sure whether the piece was written in earnest or the sharpest piece of satire I’ve seen in a decade.
shove··on The Burnout Machine
> If our industry fills with unions, suddenly I won't be able to job hop to positions that look interesting to me.

Huh? Says who?

shove··on Kerning, the Hard Way
My initial point exactly
shove··on Kerning, the Hard Way
I could have sworn that was where this was going in the first place
shove··on Kerning, the Hard Way
Since it’s an issue of equalizing the perceptual area in the negative space, there’s not really any reason to throw ML at it. Throw actual math at it.
shove··on Ultrasonic deep drawing cuts friction by 20%, extends tool lifespan
This has my gears turning wondering what other ultrasonic “lubrication” applications might be possible. Potentially a whole world of industrial and mechanical improvements.
shove··on Show HN: Wireless video streaming on POV bike display
UDP? Websocket?
shove··on The Utopia of Rules: Technology, Stupidity and Secret Joys of Bureaucracy (2015)
Read this book last year and, like all of Graeber’s writing, enjoyed it very much despite it going in completely different directions than what I anticipated.
shove··on I'm glad I took the off-ramp from software engineering
Your comments here and on other threads indicate that you have confused “socialism” with “state capitalism”. An unfortunate and increasingly common mistake.
shove··on I'm glad I took the off-ramp from software engineering
“… the market was collapsed to socialism …”

Whaaaat?!

shove··on We are destroying software
It’s honestly a huge tell that it was omitted
shove··on Ludum Dare 2025 is cancelled
Another entry to file under You Know The Job Market Is Bad When
shove··on A Supermarket in California (1955)
Do I even want to know why Ginsberg is being posted to HN?
