vintageplayer··on Show HN: Recognize culture role models in Slack or Teams
SuperCool Idea. My only concern is the initiative needed by a user to attest another user. I would love this part to be automated. For eg: An administrator can set rules, your bot automatically figures out from conversations the people who are communicating as role models based on the criteria administrator has set and start showing a weekly or monthly leaderboard.

Maybe initially, the Romo team can set the measurement criteria if that helps and make it custom in a future release.

But expecting people to highlight role models is where such apps don't get adopted easily.

love Simonw blogs. I've been reading his blogs using the python interpreter since last year September. He mentioned he started doing it on his own to generate whole applications on the go.

I'm still not clear not how to do it though. I expected some easy option or button, and didn't find it. I admit I could have spent more effort trying to figure out how to do it, but a handy link/tutorial would have helped me keep doing it instead of pretty much ignoring GPT most of the times.

vintageplayer··on Show HN: ChatGitHub – Exploring GitHub Using Natural Language
Very cool. Can it analyze cross repo/user questions?
vintageplayer··on The death of a public intellectual
I'm not an expert, but I have an opinion, maybe some of you want to follow: ALWAYS SUPPORT THE UNDERDOGS. They are the ones experimenting with new ideas and hopefully sharing both what worked and what didn't.

Unfollow all the players with a huge following. They stop producing quality.

Start by supporting underdogs, people who have a following, but small and growing.

Eventually they'll become bigger in terms of following. Then unfollow them.

vintageplayer··on Notes on Puzzles
I don't think startup game is more like Poker. It's a lot of experimentation and learning. True, you gotta protect your bank roll, but the type of strategy initiatives to take are something like that of a chess.

PS: I'm an early stage founder, who has finally some traction with my current B2B data infra SaaS. I've had a failed company in the past which had 4 major pivots, where we decided to return most of the funding to learn few things again.

vintageplayer··on Evernote lays off staff, relocating to Europe
Woah, didn't evernote was not ever profitable. Think Notion did a heavy dent there.

And you keep seeing a new note taking companies pop up every other week.

vintageplayer··on Measuring the Carbon Footprint of Pizzas
Insane. I never thought of tracking carbon footprint to this level. Please include chicken and eggs and promote that :D

Just read today that chicken demand in US has grown exponentially while other meats have declined.
