treyhuffine··on ChatGPT Plugins
OpenAI's product execution has been impeccable.

It will be interesting to see how the companies trying to compete respond.

treyhuffine··on Google Search Is Dying (2022)
The recent success of ChatGPT shows that the current search experience is likely deprecated. With LLMs, you can get information immediately that directly answers your query.

ChatGPT has its limits too though - it's not always right, you don't have options other than to re-ask or regenerate if the one answer doesn't satisfy what you need, we're limited to only text, and the experience may be just a bit too contained/convergent. It feels like it's going to take another product or iteration to really get there.

The question I keep asking - what does the future of problem-solving and finding knowledge on the internet look like in an ideal world given the tools that we have or could now build?

treyhuffine··on Microsoft is preparing to add ChatGPT to Bing
I believe Microsoft invested $1B in OpenAI, so I imagine they have access to everything that OpenAI has created.
treyhuffine··on Big changes ahead for Deno
Here's a good summary that details your point on what Bun does well and where it lacks - https://levelup.gitconnected.com/is-bun-js-the-node-js-kille...
treyhuffine··on Build Your Own X
I would love to understand the architecture of an MMO
treyhuffine··on Ten years after the Higgs, physicists face the nightmare of finding nothing else
The Higgs itself was conceived on paper and proven in the LHC.

Do we lack theories that can be conceived on pen and paper just the ability to test any of them?

treyhuffine··on Web3 is expensive P2P
P2P isn't bad thing though right? Or many would argue it's a great thing.

Web3 is systematized, open, and properly incentivized P2P. That sounds like a great value prop. This has allowed an ecosystem to be built to push it into the mainstream which is his primary challenge with P2P

treyhuffine··on GitHub Résumé: Service that creates a résumé based on your GitHub repos/activity
Great work! I had built something similar but in the form of a web app. It uses GitHub to generate a resume for you and also creates an API to power your portfolio website.

treyhuffine··on Ethereum Has Issues
You don't give Ethereum credit for USDT and USDC?

Ethereum introduced the concept of decentralized compute resources, in which it was also a first mover. Judging Ethereum in its current state feels like judging the internet in the 1980's and saying it's not a value provider.

treyhuffine··on Things we did not do while reaching $2M ARR
You can't get to product-market fit without time and effort, but the amount you put in can be scaled up as you get a positive response. If you're iterative, you can adapt your GTM and funds invested based on feedback.
treyhuffine··on Things we did not do while reaching $2M ARR
Great example of how early startups are about finding product-market fit, not trying to check boxes that you hope lead to success
treyhuffine··on Things we did not do while reaching $2M ARR
I think what it really shows is how product-market fit is more important than nearly everything else combined
treyhuffine··on Deno Is Webby
A lot of the time that pattern is written, it's because the APIs from the web and Node are different and will break if you call something that's not isomorphic. Perhaps Deno fixes that as well and the pattern isn't needed in the first place. Obviously not every case though.
treyhuffine··on The Inconsistency of Arithmetic (2011)
And allowing one's ego to not get in the way of accepting the truth, even when it contradicts your original belief.

treyhuffine··on FlutterFlow: Low-code Flutter apps
Love the product, this is incredible!

- Is it possible to set an API request header to include the Firebase ID token?

- Are you able to embed a webview on a page?

- Is there a pattern yet for in-app payments?

treyhuffine··on Mission Protocol
The way I read it, I don't think the Mission Protocol is about accomplishing the mission at all costs, even if it means sacrificing our morals or doing anything illegal.

It's very difficult to create meaningful and impactful change to improve society, and this advocates being laser-focused to give your mission the best chance be successful. If all (good) missions are given their full attention, they all have a higher chance of success instead of everyone trying to trying to do everything, and then not doing any mission well enough to be successful.

It is advocating for people to choose a company with a mission they believe in because they think it can make a positive contribution to society. For example, if you care about having a world-wide open financial system but take a job at Tesla, according to the Mission Protocol you would be doing a disservice to bringing clean energy to the world if you also asked Tesla to put effort into contributing to an open financial system.

treyhuffine··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
https://skilled.dev

Careers have been put on hold and many people have had setbacks, so I want to help developers find jobs once the quarantine ends and economies open back up.

I'm building a course to show developers how to succeed in the coding interview and stand out during the job hunt.

treyhuffine··on Show HN: Resume Generator for Software Engineers
This is something I built to solve my own pain - creating and maintaining a high-quality resume.

Any feedback or insight would be much appreciated.

While I wouldn’t consider this in beta, it is still early in how I imagine it evolving. Additional features I plan to implement are: 1. Entirely open source 2. Templates (built by myself or the open source community) 3. Custom CSS 4. Versioned / multiple resumes 5. Standalone offline generator

treyhuffine··on Solid – The Best JavaScript UI Library You’ve Never Heard Of
Very interesting approach, I'm excited to try it out. The performance is pretty undeniable.
treyhuffine··on The Problem You Solve Is More Important Than the Code You Write
I agree and have noticed the same thing. Some engineers won't turn in code unless it's perfect which can be at the detriment of the company.

If the code is being written/problem solved is for your job, you need to come up with the solution has the most business value and impact, not just spend the time to write the best code that will also happen to solve the problem.

treyhuffine··on Ask HN: Best place to host technical blog?
So it's a combination of people in our community submitting articles and us seeking out writers. Many of our contributors are people who write really great content but aren't attracting a ton of views, and it is a really good relationship for both us. I'm happy to connect outside of HN if you're interested in learning more.
treyhuffine··on Ask HN: Best place to host technical blog?
We chose to go with Medium (https://levelup.gitconnected.com), and it has been great. It embeds gists which is good for code. I haven't experimented with custom JS/CSS, but I believe it's also possible to embed. It's not perfect, but it's really good in most areas.

One of the best things about Medium is the built-in network and community. I feel confident our technical publication would not have grown as quickly without it. One of my favorite features is the ability to co-publish articles in publications but also retain the authorship of it on your own profile. It's an excellent way to generate traffic to your posts and take advantage of publications that already have readers. If you're interested in giving Medium a try and would be interested in submitting some stories to https://levelup.gitconnected.com, we would be happy to help get you started!

treyhuffine··on Code Less, Think More… Incrementally
That scene is too familiar. Trying to get a client to understand incremental delivery is probably more difficult than enforcing the practice on a team.
