Is this the same as a GTM (Go-To-Market) Engineer?
I've always wondered if Chrome leaks these URLs too.

Raph was the lead game designer on SWTOR a game that was way ahead of it's time and one of the most enjoyable sandbox mmorpg's I've ever played. I'm working on a new game that will take inspiration from lessons learned there.
Re:Two billion email addresses were exposed on Thursday November 06, 2025 @04:17PM (#45840550)
I think the headline is a bit vague, it includes passwords as well. Does anyone know if Troy's HIBP'd site reveals the passwords to verified users? I'd like to know if my current or what generation of passwords has been breached to evaluate if I have a current or past problem with my devices.
Re:I spent the day teaching seniors how to use an iPhone on Friday October 03, 2025 @05:13PM (#45467856)
That's where I really appreciated Android's ability to sub-out its entire UI to something totally customizable, accessible and able to be locked down. Drag my face contacts of myself and siblings onto the home screen so Mom can just click a face and it calls her contact. On the desktop, Windows is terrible for seniors, MacOS too. iPad can be decent but there are alot of areas where seniors get confuddled and have to call someone in.
Re:ChatGPT Pulse on Thursday September 25, 2025 @04:44PM (#45378794)
This, 1000x.

I had a dozen domains and projects on the shelf for years and now 8 of them have significant active development. I've already deployed 2 sites to production. My github activity is lighting up like a Christmas tree.

In the mid-2000s I was doing some consulting in middle America and noticed a bunch of Indian IT workers staying at the same hotel I was staying at. Since, I was Indian-origin, we engaged in some small-chat. They were working for a now defunct telecom giant (but contracted by one of the big Indian consultancies) on various software projects. There were there on not, H1Bs, but another class of short-term business-meeting only visas. They told me every 3 months a whole new team would cycle onto the project with a fresh set of business visas and the rest would cycle back home, rinse-repeat. They weren't allowed to "work" per say, and some of their colleagues got rejected at the border by more savvy border agents. But for every 1 rejection, 20 of them would get through.
Re:Warp Code: the fastest way from prompt to production on Wednesday September 03, 2025 @12:10PM (#45117423)
The pivot is likely because there's more VC dollars there.

It is a handy AI-cli for any terminal. I've been using the "terminal" app for a few months and found it was a very competent coding tool. I kept giving feedback to the team that they should "beef up" the coding side because until Claude Code this was my daily driver for writing code until Opus 4. The interface still is a bit janky because i think it's trying to predict whether you're typing a console command or talking to it for new prompt (it tries to dynamical assess that but often enough it crosses the streams). Regardless, I highly recommend checking it out, I've had some great success with it.

Re:GPT-5 vs. Sonnet: Complex Agentic Coding on Friday August 08, 2025 @01:23PM (#44839482)
Wonderful, timely article. It sounds like a hybrid approach might produce good results: Using ChatGPT-5 for planning/analysis and using Claude for execution.

Re:How Anthropic teams use Claude Code on Thursday July 24, 2025 @10:42PM (#44678989)
I just had the same thing happen. Some comprehensive tests were failing, and it decide to write a simple test instead rather than investigate why these more complicated tests were failing. I wonder if the team is trying to save compute by urging it to complete tasks more quickly! Claude seems to be under a compute crunch as often I get API timeouts/errors.
I write mostly boilerplate and I'd rather have the AI do it. The AI is also slow, which is great, which allows me to run 2 or 3 AI workspaces working on different tickets/problems at the same time.

Where AI especially excels is helping me do maintenance tickets on software I rarely touch (or sometimes never have touched). It can quickly read the codebase, and together we can quickly arrive at the place where the patch/problem lies and quickly correct it.

I haven't written anything "new" in terms of code in years, so I'm not really learning anything from coding manually but I do love solving problems for my customers.

Oracle threatened our organization with 10m in fines because of some rogue apps here and there, gave us 5 days to remediate it. I believe they went with a mix of OpenJDK & Corretto. (100k+ org)

Start at the bottom...they are in the commit messages, or sometimes the .md file

For me, it's trying to gauge how deep the rabbit hole is.
Re:Ask HN: Best Windows/Linux developer laptop in 2025 on Thursday March 06, 2025 @11:33AM (#43282081)
Where Lenovo is unbeatable for me, is the extended warranty cost. You can get (usually on discount) full 4 year coverage next-day in-home with accident protection for only a couple hundred bucks. I like a company that can stand behind their product in that manner.
Re:Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program on Friday February 07, 2025 @02:32PM (#42976525)
This sounds more like a monopoly play to give Tesla a continuing advantage with it's charging network vs. an anti-EV stance.

Wow, so the actual content is also sent to the cloud? Not just authentication/metadata? Massive overreach. Imagine a inkjet/laser printer company sending every page you printed to their servers? (actually I wouldn't be surprised if HP does this already)

Re:Introducing S2 on Saturday December 21, 2024 @05:45PM (#42482940)
IANAL,but naming your product S2 and mentioning in the intro that AWS S3 is the tech you are enhancing is probably looking for a branding/copyright claim from Amazon. Same vertical & definitely will cause consumer confusion. I'm sure you've done the research about whether a trademark has been registered.

I think this issue better addressed in HTML spec. Basic functionality to include html snippets files in other HTML files should be standard. What am I missing?

By that same logic, Safari is the #1 browser on mobile in the US and should also be spun off.
I wonder if there should be some scaling for extreme hot/cold countries. Most of our output here in Canada must be related to heating during our 6 months of cold climate.

Would love to hear a bit about the tech stack or engine you used (if any)!
