Most people wait for a brilliant idea before they start.

You don’t need one.

I understand it’s certainly happier for you, but for most people, it’s more about paying the bills.
That’s a very cozy project! I’ve seen people using https://openspec.dev and getting great results.

> You Can’t Pay Me To Prompt!

As a software engineer, you don’t get paid for simply writing code, people pay u for problem-solving.

Nice project, congrats

During the holidays, I’ve experimented with some ideas. I wondered if it was possible to make money in 2025 using simple, nano banana wrappers, thr answer is yes!

for example, RecolorLife.com and Headshoti.com generate around $800 USD.

Now I will expand for real estate.

You’re not unproductive - what’s missing is better alignment of expectations with yourself and the people around you.

Congrats, nice project.

Ask HN: I'm interested in something similar to Rails' Solid Queue for Go

I'm seeking alternatives for my current queue system, which uses Golang and Redis. I'm interested in something similar to Rails' Solid Queue (https://github.com/rails/solid_queue).During my search, I came across River (https://riverqueue.com).Has anyone here used River in a production environment? I'd appreciate any feedback or experiences.

We've all heard it before, consistency is key. But what does that really mean?

The easiest way to build serverless autonomous AI agents with memory. Start building local-first, agentic pipes, tools, and memory. Deploy serverless with one command.

Yes! Sometimes people put focus on right or wrong and forget to enjoy the process.

I wrote a little bit about it here: https://jairojair.com/articles/coding-just-for-fun/

Hi folks!

I really didn't think many people would see this post, thank you for the comments and discussion.

The central idea is that technology is cyclical, new tools will emerge and the way we work will change.

However, in my view, using tools doesn't make you less or more of a craftsman; creating something different from mass production does.

In a world where everything is very similar, websites are copies of each other, every new startup has the same color palette, creating something with small flaws, but different, is a distinguishing factor.

Perfection lies in imperfection.

Keep coding!

Good point! A car built 10 years ago is very different from a car built today, but it's still a car, right?

Some people like old cars, others prefer Teslas, and that's perfectly fine.

The world will change, and that's not a bad thing.

Sometimes is ok write code just for fun.

you get it! I think the exactly same way.

You're welcome!
Re:Coding Just for Fun on Saturday September 21, 2024 @05:21PM (#41612745)
That's the point, you get it!

Congrats for your code! it's yours, unique and beautiful.
