user7878on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw

I think AI agents and models are still evolving rapidly. Instead of trying to predict too far ahead, we should focus on the scale of transformation we’ve already seen in just the last two years—something that took decades to achieve in traditional programming. What comes next is worth watching closely.

user7878on Ask HN: What process do you use when building a modern Web/Mobile App?

Off track answer still worth focusing on modern web applications. I see some companies use pre built common services (for example identity service, notification service). Product companies now using micro service architecture to achieve product development seamlessly and in time. This helps developers to focus on pure business logic. Try to evaluate this approach as well if you think single company sells multiple product under same umbrella.
