What I do: 7+ years shipping systems end-to-end. Most recent: Architected and shipped TestGorilla's largest workflow refactor (self-serve assessment flow) with zero added complexity for other teams. Scaled to 52K+ candidates with a 78% completion rate and near-zero post-launch defects. I own systems processing 30M+ requests/month with <0.1% error rate and p95 latency under 150ms.

Tech stack: Python, Django, AWS, TypeScript, C/C++, AI/LLM systems, RAG. Tech-stack agnostic (switched C# → C++ → Python professionally; skills transfer).

Current project: Building INR Finance Compass. An AI-native personal finance platform with full financial context instead of isolated queries.

I love this. My website tenor.cards has been backend-free for a while thanks to the URLs. https://tenor.cards/design_card/?p=Rm9yJTIwdGV4dCUyMHRoYXQlM...

I didn't even know about window location hash, which I just learned from the other comments. Thank y'all.

Re:EVGA terminates Nvidia partnership [video] on Saturday September 17, 2022 @01:39AM (#32875072)
I'm just glad the ARM acquisition didn't go through. Jealous of the margins Apple pulls out of their products, nvidia clearly wants to be apple. Not good for the consumers.
Sideberry is more complete out of the box. TST is more flexible for low level tinkering. That's what I read somewhere for TST, I use Sideberry.

Sounds all good until the email providers start filtering out emails as spam for no reason.

I've been sending text html emails for my blogletter for over a year now. The single biggest struggle point is the spam filters in gmail/outlook/others which just render my emails waste for majority of the subscribers.

Do you face the same?

+1 on that, I need someone to remind me to read though the articles I've bookmarked in the past.

Interesting how this supports both mobile and desktop non-chrome browsers, but a lot of websites with menus and tables don't play well on firefox

Hi, I am a backend developer with 2 years of experience. I've written APIs, serverless functions and webjobs from scratch - keeping test coverage above 80%. For an Azure based cloud native webapp. That's mostly in C#.

I'm open to learning new technologies and also explore some for my personal projects - Ruby/Jekyll for by blog(https://knowledgeday.in), Python for a trading simulator, Embedded C for some board projects...

Re:Ask HN: List of Blogs Without Ads? on Friday December 04, 2020 @02:33AM (#25299931)
For non-tech, mine is ad-free -> https://knowledgeday.in

As for reading, a lot of these blog links found on top HN threads have negligible ads. Plus I have a habit of turning on reading mode.

Or I just send blog links to Pocket and then read them later. The reading mode/pocket app cleanup the ads while also making the content more readable with font/bg of your choice.

Re:YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA on Friday October 23, 2020 @04:53PM (#24874034)
Not just users, this is a good nightmare for a lot of projects that were relying on yt-dl (maybe for other features than downloading)

And even a lot of unofficial libraries that allowed easier yt access. Dead in a go.

Do we have a cli alternative that does everything of yt-dl except the video download part?

About: Hi, I am a software engineer developing and improving backend for a cloud native webapp for almost 2 years. Quick to learn and adopt to new technologies and equally dependable for robustness in code and extensive Unit and smoke testing.

I also write as hobby(non-tech), and am running self handled blog-cum-newsletter (Self built email platform (C#) + Jekyll based static website for blog). Here: https://ohyash.github.io/KnowledgeDay/

I have no issues working remotely, but personally believe it's better to be together when it's safe.

Re:Ask HN: What did you make during lockdown? on Monday June 22, 2020 @04:24AM (#23598243)
I started a freestyle newsletter for sharing knowledge I get from the internet.

Quickly I reaized the existing solutions are limited. So I started developing my own Email Platform, which is in early stage currently and can only send dynamic mails for now but I plan to grow it into a single blogging cum newsletter platform going forward. The project isn't online yet but my newsletter is: https://linktr.ee/Knowledgeday

Hi, I am a recent computer science graduate (Bachelors, June 2019) with 6 months experience(internship+job) working on the backend and automated webjobs(all C#). During the degree course I have mostly worked with python for projects and c++ for Data Structures and Algorithms practices. I am enthusiastic for IOT as a field and I have worked with 8 bit microcontrollers as well. I have negligible experience with frontend, but have tried out desktop UI development in the past using Elementary toolkit(Enlightenment EFL), and Python's tkinter. I am comfortable working in the unix environment as GNU/linux has been my preferred workstation OS for past 6 years.

Been 3 months since I graduated, I have been working.

Corporate life is much more lame than I anticipated it'd be.
