thanks

Ask HN: What do data consultancies / data teams do?

When I look at some like Mammoth Growth, I see they have lots of big clients. But what do they do? E.g. Dropbox as one of the clients. Doesn't they have engineering team that can build their data needs? Or what is the "data stack"? How does the whole process look like? Im genuinely curious.

Ask HN: How are things like v0.dev built?

I'd like to understand more how one would build/iterate over things like v0.dev. Is it LLM? Is it some fine tuned model? Or some other generative AI?Are there some dev/eng blogs/papers around it, and similiar?It's very interesting topic to me but essentially black box.

Can you give some context it how it made you 10x engineer? I'd also like to be one!
Re:Ask HN: Lead developer but I just don't enjoy management on Monday January 09, 2023 @08:36AM (#34310131)
I am in very similiar position right now, and I have decided to bite the bullet and drop all non individual contributor responsibilities. I'm not yet sure how it will go but it's my #1 priority to arrange it with Cxx. I know this was supposed to feel like "step up" but it's not who I am. I don't aspire to great managers, I respect people like Carmack. I want to be the best and most productive engineer, that's where I have most fun. If the money is similiar, that's what it's about.
Re:HTTPS website+API, confusion about best practices? on Monday November 29, 2021 @12:36PM (#29382624)
you can copy curl from browser, change https to http and it will work, is that susceptible? The whole react app uses https

sure, but does it need to be disabled? As in, my website will use HTTPS, but HTTP may be still present. Does that open up door for any attack?

HTTPS website+API, confusion about best practices?

Let's say we have a site www.coolstore.com that accesses api.coolstore.comWhat is the best practice and possible attack vectors when not sticking to them?It seems that www.coolstore.com should be under https://www.coolstore.com. What about assets? Let's say we force a redirect to https:// on the site itself, but not on assets. e.g. you copy the request and change it to http you can access some...

I've done all this in past and am familiar with it, but I'd be interested in one-step-after-this thing :)
not at all, but our devops guy ragequit the job and I want to be able to help piece things together if fire emerges, or help the team. Every engineer has some knowledge so together we're able to handle most of it. I want to use this opportunity to learn more.

It's sad that you assume the worst in people.

Ask HN: What is the fastest way to ramp up on DevOps, k8 and GCP?

I have a limited time and need to quickly ramp up on these skills. I need hands-on experience as that's how I learn best. What would be your go-to resource/workshop for that?Is there some standard "here are existing 10 services and in this guide we'll go through deploying them, securing them, installing service mesh, provisioning database..." kind of thing?

Ask HN: What are your best practices for interacting with Cloud

I am new to devops and we have multiple projects on GCP, with various kubernetes clusters.What are the best practices to ensure I don't mess up? E.g. always have current project/cluster name in your prompt. What other things would you recommend?I'm afraid of accidentally running something on wrong gcp project / cluster combination out of mistake which will inevitably happen, taking down prod or...

Ask HN: Tips for more energy during day?

There are obvious ones like quality sleep, excercise, get some sunlight during the day and check your hormnes. I still feel a too drowsy during the day.Do you have any personal experiences / anecdotes with what have helped you in the past?

When you are thrown or being choked you are unable to focus on anything else than the moment itself. Its extremely liberating and picking both of those activities were detromental for my health

Judo or Brasilian Jiu Jitsu. Any grappling I guess where part of training is deliberate practice and part is kind of competition/sparring.
very cool, what's your tech stack? you seem to be able to build these things quickly and with ease

Awesome work! I've been using scalajs ad mid-sized personal projects and it's been absolute joy to work with. I use https://laminar.dev/ (don't need no react) and to interface with javascript world https://scalablytyped.org/ - although I rarely need to use external libraries
Re:Ask HN: Startup Ideas on Friday April 30, 2021 @10:23AM (#26993855)
very nice

maybe combine the badly rated projects with trending ideas from https://insightrend.com/ ?

very interesting. I had no idea Feynman felt this way.
