Oh come on
Did you have a look at https://evidence.dev
Re:I still prefer MCP over skills on Friday April 10, 2026 @03:59AM (#47714971)
Also resources - which are by far the coolest part of MCP. Prompts? Elicitation? Resource templates? If you think of MCP as only a replacement for tool calls I can see the argument but it's much more than that.

I'll see if I can find books that are formatted well. Probably LLMs can help me with that
Re:Paralleltext.app – Learn Languages by Reading on Saturday March 28, 2026 @08:33AM (#47553991)
A few years ago I built a weekend project (paralleltext.io) which was fairly popular, even here on HN, but sadly I let the domain expire and was just sitting on my github. I finally took the time to revive it using Claude, with a few improvements for mobile experience. I've been getting occasional questions as to what happened to the project, so here's the revived version, hope you find it useful
The research assistant should be able to generate images
Oh yes, Europe bad, regulation bad. Maybe add some nuance to your thinking.
Re:What canceled my Go context? on Saturday March 07, 2026 @05:30AM (#47286314)
Golang returning tuples but not having pattern matching is something I'll never get. I really feel it's a too dumbed down version of erlang/elixir, especially with this context passing business
Re:Zulip.com Values on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @06:13AM (#46958151)
Replying to myself because I'm sure someone from Zulip will read this thread: I also wish for a tiered channel system. Instead of muting some, I'd like to promote some to high priority, so my inbox can toggle between the ones I really care about and a general overview.
Re:Zulip.com Values on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @03:37AM (#46956884)
I’ve started working at a company that uses Zulip and it’s by far the best thought out UX I’ve ever worked with in a communications app. Sure there’s some polish needed but the general structure just lets me get to where I want, gives me an overview of everything going on, and generally makes me happy. I wish for more keyboard shortcuts maybe, and the mobile app needs the recent conversations view, but I’m sure they’ll get there.
Re:The Codex App on Tuesday February 03, 2026 @01:43AM (#46867378)
How is a fact that someone did something proof that it isn’t hard?
I do that but I also feel kinda bad since I feel I’m taking it instead of someone else who’s more budget constrained than me

I wonder how the new ai gmail features will affect email marketing

I love this article. Simple way to express things that in hindsight should be obvious and very actionable. Thank you.

So hide the class list if you don’t want to see it
Re:MCP is a fad on Friday January 09, 2026 @06:17AM (#46552663)
Sorry but disagree. For me the main part is the resources, which automatically get mounted in the computing environment, bypassing a whole class of problems with having LLMs work with a large amount of data.

I found it a common misconception so I wrote about it here https://goto-code.com/dont-sleep-on-mcp/

I think often times they’re not wrong but then again what do I do with this constant barrage of cynicism, can’t change much anyway
There’s a lot of pedantry as well
As someone who’s on Reddit a lot, I completely agree
Re:Go Away Python on Tuesday December 30, 2025 @06:25AM (#46432173)
The term "full stack" has a widely well understood meaning, you're being pedantic

Don't be that guy.
Re:Hashcards: A Plain-Text Spaced Repetition System on Sunday December 14, 2025 @01:18PM (#46265364)
Yes! I have a whole blog post in the works about how they make an awesome LLM memory layer.
Re:Hashcards: A Plain-Text Spaced Repetition System on Sunday December 14, 2025 @12:51PM (#46265100)
I wish more people knew about GNU recutils instead of inventing new formats

I was so annoyed when I found out the OTP library and realized we’ve been reinventing things for 20+ years

GPT-5 is embarrassing itself. Kimi and DeepSeek are very consistently good. Wild that you can just download these models.
