Really cool! Switched out my default terminal to this and am using it for the last half an hour. Posted a few feedback comments. Looking forward to it developing more :)
Re:The Rise of Async Programming on Thursday September 11, 2025 @04:57PM (#45216039)
By synchronously working on 1 do you mean coding it with minimal AI?

Nice article by the way. I've found my workflow to be pretty much exactly the same using Claude code.

Do you mostly use your file explorer to see the list of files? Or do you use any plugins to sort and view your files?
Re:Does current AI represent a dead end? on Friday December 27, 2024 @03:49PM (#42525905)
Would this still hold true in your opinion if models like O3 become super cheap and bit better over time? I don't know much about the AI space, but as a vanilla backend dev also worry about the future :)

Would you be willing to share more about your domain modeling and how category theory helped?

I haven't spent enough time on it but a good Youtube video I'd found was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4xFVJTyJZg

Sounds like you’re not looking for an app since a text file works well, but I’ve been using Godspeed and it’s been amazing for this kinda workflow.
Re:The Illustrated Word2Vec on Friday April 19, 2024 @04:17PM (#40091491)
Could you explain what you mean by

> Tasks that are very context specific or require fine-tuning. For instance, if you're making a RAG system for medical documents, the embedding space is best when it creates larger deviations for the difference between seemingly-related medical words.

(sorry I'm very new to ML stuff :))

Re:Ask HN: How do you learn and research every day? on Wednesday February 28, 2024 @10:19AM (#39539051)
Thank you. That’s very helpful. My day job is pretty basic stuff so I’m trying to learn things on the side, but have the same worry that the day job is where the main learning opportunities would be, so I probably need to find a better gig. Thanks, and good luck on your PhD search.
Re:Ask HN: How do you learn and research every day? on Monday February 26, 2024 @11:10PM (#39520055)
Could you share some examples of articles/paper projects you undertake? Do you always publish them or keep them for yourself?
Re:Monitoring your logs is mostly a tarpit on Wednesday August 09, 2023 @12:31AM (#37058722)
This sounds awesome. Could you share some examples of logs you have?
Re:The Most Important Coding Habits on Saturday July 22, 2023 @05:05PM (#36829933)
Curious why you say vibration exposure should be avoided?
Never thought of denormalization as caching. Makes sense. Thanks for the perspective

How did the book club work? Was it similar to non tech book clubs? Wondering if people would be interested in something like this over Zoom :)
Re:Ask HN: What is a purchase that made you happy? on Sunday July 31, 2022 @04:17PM (#32298415)
Would love to hear your journaling technique if you’d be up for sharing
Re:Ask HN: Courses explaining well-written codebases? on Saturday July 30, 2022 @01:38PM (#32288670)
I’d come across https://codecatalog.org. I wish there were more of these kind of resources.
I’m in the same boat as you. Take them regularly and the payoff of spending 15 minutes on them with the increased energy/productivity the rest of the day is totally worth it.
Are there any resources you’d recommend for learning the high ROI items you mentioned?
Re:Ask HN: Books/Media about the creation of a product on Saturday June 04, 2022 @12:15PM (#31622116)
I really enjoyed Spelunky https://bossfightbooks.com/products/spelunky-by-derek-yu. Haven’t read the other books in the series.
The book ‘The Mom Test’ is a really good one to read on this topic.
Any books you would recommend to get better at this?

How does she manage? Any particular techniques you learned from her? :)
Re:Ask HN: How not to burn out while working 9 to 5 job? on Saturday October 09, 2021 @08:36PM (#28814704)
How did you go about finding these other activities that truly engage you, if you don’t mind me asking.
Re:Ask HN: How do you take notes when reading a book? on Monday June 22, 2020 @12:17AM (#23597305)
Is there any way I could talk to you a bit more about your note taking process? My email is ishan2 at gmail. Would really appreciate it!
Re:Investing Outside the Bay Area on Sunday July 22, 2018 @03:40AM (#17585699)
Would you have any source for the largest job growth being around Pleasanton. Would love to read up more on it.
Re:Building for the Blockchain on Tuesday January 09, 2018 @01:04PM (#16108206)
Isn't end user adoption driver by the application layer though. If the application layer developers aren't incentivized and don't build things on the protocol layer, what's the point of the protocol layer?
Re:How to Sleep on Monday May 29, 2017 @11:06AM (#14439454)
Could you tell me which earplugs you use and how you went about finding the right ones?
