Re:Ask HN: How do you manage skills files? on Monday September 07, 2026 @06:57AM (#49596759)
This could be better summed up to the misuse of skills. Skills were not designed to be a way to make an agent more intelligent. Instead, skills are designed to allow agents to have certain tasks that are repeatable and predictable. It’s a misnomer really.

I can’t help ask but what? They say it’s for training their models. On what? One of the most horribly run airlines to ever exist?
Re:How Claude marks AI-generated content on Saturday August 15, 2026 @07:38AM (#49309737)
Well put. I wonder if this will inevitably increase usage costs because the model has to do more work to find a solution that meets watermarking standards.

Not all backends are web applications. I have built many step functions applications for various ETL type workloads with massive success with little to no complexity. Just because someone doesn't understand the technology doesn't make it "complex"
Hi,HN link posts are confusing I know but read my initial discussion post. One of the first items there is the demo credentials

Re:Why I'm Using Next.js on Saturday October 28, 2023 @10:51AM (#38050247)
That’s great to hear! Did you find it hard to learn?
Re:Why I'm Using Next.js on Saturday October 28, 2023 @10:50AM (#38050234)
I love types I just struggle with Typescript a lot because it seems to get in the way for me. I might like it more if I buckled down and really tried to figure it out. It’s probably the slowest language for me to grasp maybe outside of Objective C. When you try to enforce typing on a language that wasn’t designed ground up with types in mind it just rubs me the wrong way. Python type hinting strikes a good balance though.

Is anyone just using vanilla React with no TypeScript or Framework of any kind? I’ve tried Remix and Next js and just find them so cumbersome. Typescript causes me more headaches

Show HN: Improved Comprehension using ChatGPT and Active Recall AI

IntroductionYes, this is another ChatGPT application. No, this post wasn’t written using ChatGPT as you will soon find out after stumbling through my mediocre writing style. I built a new education-focused ChatGPT-based tool called Active Recall AI. Active Recall AI aims to help students who struggle with reading comprehension or just learning in general. It is something that I personally...

Code is right there -- just look at it.

Ask HN: How would you create an AI to convert paintings to vector images?

Recently I have become somewhat obsessed with learning to paint and surprisingly enough I am not incredibly terrible at it. It got me to thinking, I love my job being a software engineer but I have always found that my graphics design skills aren't meeting my needs when developing indie projects. However, while painting I really feel like I have the ability to produce images that actually look...

Re:Why I Stopped Using an External Monitor on Saturday March 04, 2023 @10:45AM (#35021620)
I couldn't imagine this being healthy for your eye sight.
Re:Why I Stopped Using an External Monitor on Saturday March 04, 2023 @07:50AM (#35020423)
I tried this as well for about 8 months and ended up going back to an external monitor setup. Why? Health reasons. The ergonomics of using a laptop everyday is detrimental to your posture. Being hunched over and looking down at a laptop all day is not healthy. You can still have bad posture with an external monitor but now these risks are avoidable if you are disciplined enough. With a laptop you really have no choice but to have poor posture.

Re:Ask HN: How does your company handle late running projects? on Tuesday September 20, 2022 @10:19AM (#32911982)
My old company used to add more to scope and increase working hours/cancel holidays. in fact they always planned a release on thanksgiving because you know thats a good idea.
Making friends as an adult is a deliberate process. You have to intentionally pursue it. Don't look for only tech people, it is important to have a diverse network of friends where each provides their own unique value to the friendship. For example -- I joined CrossFit for the sole purpose of making more friends, getting in shape was just a plus. There I can meet people of all walks of life that I typically wouldn't otherwise.

It sounds like you have been using Blazor a lot more than I have so I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t any massive traffic yet. Is this something I can reproduce with a benchmarking tool?
Re:How and why I built Japan Dev on Tuesday August 16, 2022 @12:48PM (#32485414)
I really enjoyed reading this and I hate reading.

How did you go from 12 months of no revenue to actually generating revenue? Did you provide your service for free w/o any payment options? I imagine job seekers were free to use the board but companies were required to pay to post on your board. Did it basically take 12 months to gain enough traction with job seekers to entice employers to post on your board instead of manually adding them for free yourself?
