Sonnet 4.5 had this problem. Opus 4.5 is much better at focusing on the task instead of getting sidetracked.

I use row level security in postgres. Then you can set read only permissions.

Re:Show HN: I built an app to block Shorts and Reels on Monday August 18, 2025 @10:51AM (#44941269)
This approach is not possible on iOS. Instead, I built a safari extension to block shorts from the feed https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/shorts-stopper/id6745517488?l=...

Show HN: Block YouTube Shorts on Safari

I built Shorts Stopper to stop wasting time on YouTube Shorts during programming breaks. It blocks the Shorts section on YouTube in Safari.It’s a one-time purchase with no ads or tracking. I’ve already cut my screen time by about an hour a day.

Tsoding recently built coroutines for C from scratch. The concept of coroutines is related to threads, so I bet you’d like the video if you liked the article.

Show HN: Shorts Stopper – Block YouTube Shorts on Safari iOS

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shorts-stopper/id6745517488

I built Shorts Stopper to avoid wasting time on YouTube Shorts during my breaks while programming. It hides Shorts from the homepage and video suggestions in Safari.In practice, it works best if you remove the YouTube app and only access YouTube through Safari.It's a one-time paid app, so I can keep filters updated without ads or data collection.

> putting json response (from API, created from scraping, ect.) into jsonb column and then writing a view on top to parse

That’s a very good idea!

Re:Ask HN: Where do you hire when scaling? on Saturday June 15, 2024 @02:42PM (#40691774)
I agree with all, except the comments about “willing to work for low salaries”. This type of filter tends to attract individuals who may lack the entrepreneurial spirit essential for a startup. It’s a losing strategy.

They are a form of marketing.
https://flet.dev is an interesting project and gives you a good looking UI out of the box. It uses flutter in the background.

This is wrong. I am relatively at the beginning of my career and already reached the said max. Median is probably much less, but the max is also much higher.

I use both, but my favorite is to go direct and use stripe billing for payments. It is really easy to setup and for clients to use.
Re:Ask HN: Roast My Freelance Landing Page on Friday January 26, 2024 @01:09PM (#39145772)
Exactly, I would like to use this page as a digital business card with non-technical small/medium sized business owners.
Re:Ask HN: Roast My Freelance Landing Page on Friday January 26, 2024 @01:08PM (#39145749)
Happy to hear that the hook works well at least. I mostly do mobile development and custom scripts for third party integration for small businesses. Custom solutions make it really hard to present my work in a concise manner.
Re:Ask HN: Roast My Freelance Landing Page on Friday January 26, 2024 @01:04PM (#39145688)
Thanks, I've updated the page with a little more about my work and some past projects. I develop mobile apps and third-party integrations for small/medium sized businesses.

Until now, I've acquired clients through word of mouth or online job boards, but I struggle with presenting my expertise. I'm trying to improve my presentation skills through working on this webpage and it will essential serve as a digital business card for non-technical business owners.

I'm aware of the slow loading issue and plan to address it as the final step, once I'm satisfied with the landing page's overall content.
