I love this post. I read it a few years ago and tried the same thing. I bought and then built riverreports.com (https://www.riverreports.com/).
Re:Ask HN: How can I get better at using AI for programming? on Saturday December 13, 2025 @05:30PM (#46258828)
Hey Boris,

I couldn't agree more. And using Plan mode was a major breakthrough for me. Speaking of Plan Mode...

I was previously using it repeatedly in sessions (and was getting great results). The most recent major release introduced this bug where it keeps referring back to the first plan you made in a session even when you're planning something else (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12505).

I find this bug incredibly confusing. Am I using Plan Mode in a really strange way? Because for me this is a showstopper bug–my core workflow is broken. I assume I'm using Claude Code abnormally otherwise this bug would be a bigger issue.

Re:Claude Code refused to add rainbows and unicorns to my app on Monday November 03, 2025 @07:12PM (#45806086)
Yes. I'm not really sure how to prove it but it's real.

Claude Code refused to add rainbows and unicorns to my app

This is my transcript with a Claude Code session:> Change the label from "configuration" to "rainbows". Make the toggle switch super rainbowy and unicorny so that it's really fun and that my 5-year-old daughter will like it.I appreciate the levity after that debugging session, but I don't think rainbow unicorns belong in a professional analytics application! The config feature is now...

Re:Ask HN: What should I use instead of Heroku? on Saturday May 07, 2022 @08:51AM (#31294105)
I’ve migrated 2 apps from Heroku to Render and both worked on my first push. One was node.js job, other was React SPA + Postgrest.

They also have $10K in credits for Atlas companies (and some other programs as well, though not personally using them so don’t know the details).

I’ve been working on a site/app that displays river flows. This is something that is important for fly fishing (helps determine which flies to use, where to fish, etc.)

My goal is to keep the OPEX as low as possible and not charge for it or run ads. Currently running using a combo of Vercel and GitHub Actions for $0 / month.

On the grid there are lots of different types of producers (solar, diesel, wind, nuclear, etc.). Each has its strengths/weaknesses. A big weakness of nuclear plants is that it's very expensive to turn them off. So much so that when electricity demand temporarily goes down (and with it prices), it is actually more profitable for them to continue keep the plant running but pay someone to offset their excess production.

There are people that arbitrage this--moving water up a hill is actually how many of them do it.

This stuff is really confusing. My brother trades electricity and has explained it to me numerous times and it's still a little fuzzy.

Re:Yhat (YC W15) Gives Data Science Teams a Head Start on Saturday February 07, 2015 @08:26PM (#9016082)
Good question. We support R and Python right now, however we're planning to extend support to other languages in the future. We've found that while PMML sounds good in theory, ta tough to use in the real world (esp. With data transformations).
