Hey everyone. I have a simple question and have had a very tough time finding the answer.Our startup wants to build and use an agent. I want to give the agents skills, access to our APIs, etc. I do not want to reinvent any wheels, I do not want to reinvent an agent loop.Ideally, we'd effectively have a hosted version of Claude Code with company specific skills, an API access layer, etc. In the...
I’d really appreciate an explanation of this: How does Codex / Claude Code compare to working within Cursor with the chat and agents? Are they effectively the same thing? Is one significantly better than the other. Please share your experiences around this I’m trying to be ass effective of an engineer as I can be at our company. - Mike

It seems...
Hey,What’s the state of the art, best possible way to stop spam calls to my cell phone?It’s getting unbelievable. On certain days I’m forced to pick up calls from random numbers - say when my brother might be calling me (he has health issues etc), and they’re almost always spam calls.My iPhone often says “spam caller” or “potential spam” but it still lets it ring through.Plz help fam, I’m...
It'd be great to lean on the incredible HN community here. I know this tool has massive potential if "marketed" correctly. I imagine it would come down to proper distribution channels with hosting providers, theme developers, etc. Does anyone have any ideas?I’d love to hear your thoughts on how best to bring AnalyticsWP to a wider audience. Whether it’s identifying the right distribution...

Howdy. Long story short, I’m a solid engineer. I’ve been working on my own projects the last 4 years. They make about $15,000/mo.I want an hourly engineering job to subsidize income and to have something else to work on.Could someone recommend how they’d go about finding that? I know there’s a great win-win matchup out there, but I’m not sure how to efficiently go about finding it.
Thank you!

Hey everyone! Lately I’ve been turned off by the housing market in California, so I’ve been thinking about North Korea as a more emerging market.I really love Zillow’s UI and functionality, and have grown familiar with it during my weeks of house hunting.Can someone suggest an equivalent for the North Korean market?
I’ve read a lot of books in my life, including others by Tolstoy and his contemporaries - and entirely different types of books such as Harry Potter and Javascript, The Good Parts.Recently, I found and read Tolstoy’s A Confession. It immediately struck me as the most important thing I’ve ever read. Feels like it should be state mandated reading, has me absolutely frozen and inspecting my own...
What is the point of a new model that isn’t better than the best possible model (example: OpenAI GPT-4)?
What’s the point in having a smaller model? Who cares?

This is a real, genuine question that I don’t have a clear answer to. Excuse my ignorance, plz enlighten your boi.
The vast majority the last decade has been solopreneuring. I've had a stint at larger companies, but usually as a consultant.
It's likely immature of me, but I gravitate strongly towards "meritocracy" and the simplest purest form of that - for me - has been to work almost entirely alone. And I am acutely aware of all the things I'm giving up in an idealized situation: working alongside great people who are smarter and more passionate than me, cool benefits, money, etc.
I deeply believe that I'd be incredibly valuable to the right company, for the right job, and that the salary and social benefits and such could change my life and lives of my family (and future family!).
But, I've failed as far as finding that just right job.
Here is immature Mike's train of thought regarding this, perhaps someone else can relate?: "I don't want to go do the thing that so many of my peers have done: get a job at a largish tech company, work super hard for 6 months and then fade into a passive state of not really doing anything besides fielding slack notifications and collecting large pay checks. Idk it just feels so lame. It feels immoral. But those people seem to be killing it, they have the money and their girlfriends feel secure and stable, they have friends and get sent on cool business trips. Maybe I'm the one who has it all wrong, and I'm going to slowly age into irrelevance with nothing but my misplaced pride...etc etc etc"
-----
All that to say, perhaps it's fear of rejection that is keeping me from reaching out and finding that "just-right" job that leverages my "economically valuable" skills.
Your words have struck a chord, and I will make the aforementioned serious effort towards finding a compromise between earnings and outlets.
Thank you, and I hope to keep in touch. - Mike
