Show HN: Fivetran CLI is released to Beta
https://pypi.org/project/fivetran-cli/
At long last, Fivetran has a CLI app that humans and AI can use to easily orchestrate the platform with a quick install and an api key. It can do (most) everything possible on the platform without ever touching the web UI!

Re:Personal blogs are back, should niche blogs be next?
on Sunday November 23, 2025 @03:10AM (#46021688)
Back in the day there was demand due to popularity.. in 2025, people are on various social media sites. I hardly read blogs myself, especially ever since X allowed paying customers to write long posts.
Even if you wanted to go back to blogging, you'd have to do it on substack, medium or some such platform with social built in.
My money is blogging being mostly for SEO. I don't know who's on the other end of the clicks, but they aren't reading for readings sake..

I still have https://founderfodder.com going as well. That's where I get my HN news now. I get to read the story, or at least its summary, and also read the comments summaries like an editorial. It's great!

I'm somewhere between the two extremes.. it's not so bad that I want to put it down, and it is also not as good as what some claim. On average, it's better than hand coding everything though, and even for digging into code written by others

Show HN: FounderFodder – Inspiration for Founders, Makers and Tinkerers
Hi all, I made this, which currently mirrors HN, because I often don't have time to read everything but would still love to at least have an idea what's going on. So the summaries are the key feature at the momentI also find myself jumping directly to the comments before reading the story which I think is an anti-pattern. It is designed to prevent that.I have some other ideas, like including...

What exactly does "will no longer be supported" mean?
Does it mean they'll stop working altogether?
Will they just not provide support for them but they'll keep working until the day they won't?
If it's the former, that's ridiculous and goes in the face of all the "good" they have been trying to do with the "leaf" program

This represents one group of developers and is certainly valid for that group. To each their own
For another group, where I belong, AI is a great companion! We can handle the noise and development speed is improved as well as the overall experience.
I prefer VSCode and GitHub copilot. My opinion is this combo will eventually eat all the rest, but that's besides the point.
Agent mode could be faster, sometimes it is rather slow thinking but not a big deal. This mode is all I use these days. Integration with the code base is a huge part of the great experience
