News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I developed this almost exclusively in the waiting area of a Brooklyn barbershop so I could validate it in realtime. I learned that most barbers don’t care about AI too much, but they love the idea of having a developer on call for 8 dollars a month, so I’m offering myself as a feature until it becomes unsustainable.

I’ve wondered if it’s ok for black people to use HN, I’ve also wondered if it’s even ok for black people to be in tech. The term “woke” was coined by black people for the purpose of empowerment and self-liberation, co-opted by white liberals to feel like they’re doing something, and then I see this site, which is supposed to be the antithesis of “woke” corporate culture.

Black people have no choice to interpret this as “we want to keep ignoring a soft genocide”.

No black person would want to be “unwoke” because to us that means enslavement, that’s how I know OP is nonblack.

I'm making a countdown timer for my university's transit system.

I find myself making a series of countdown timers in the morning based off my class/bus schedule, I figured I would cut out all the bloated map UI and pull data straight from the school's bus API.
