Didn't you guys just make rules about using AI to comment and post?
> Don't post generated comments or AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.
Maybe you need to read your own rules:

This guy is as blatant as it gets, and you can't/refuse to enforce it. Obvious AI writing with all the tells. Your site is going to crap buddy go select which rules you feel like moderating somewhere else and ban me. Never going on here again, enjoy your AI slop.
> Just look at the freaking mess that is trying to proof your identity in the US.
Care to elaborate? I'm not sure what's a mess about a driver's license, social security card. I've never once had any issue with my identity.
I mean the title of the post claims it can create full games, it can't. Its not even close?
This is a whole lot of words (that you didnt write) for something that can't even produce a single decent game. Learn to code, learn to write, learn to build and don't end up like this guy.
Zeppelins are back, baby!
People are really amazed at something excel has been capable of for like 30 years now. PowerBI/Tableau are free and do much more. Making charts and diagrams is impressive or a selling point now? Am I missing something here?
I think this is correct. It was common across all SaaS products id say right before LLMs and as LLMs were taking off.
Yeah people are starting to catch on ive noticed. About time!
So frustrating that news from my area one here is ever positive. West Michigan has a booming tech scene right now and clearly companies like Stryker need talent. Its LCOL here and the jobs are there for tech.
Well put. Im gonna start parroting this talking point more from now on.
Sometimes I do genuinely feel sorry for those chasing the dream in Silicon Valley. Its much like Hollywood, where young talent can be taken advantage of easily. The Midwest has its problems no doubt but my lower pay = LCOL and less stress (I know there are plenty of good companies in Silicon valley)
Cool! I love go and things like this will keep bringing me back :)
Ive been trying to push my boss towards more analytics/telemetry in production that focus on crashes, thanks for sharing.
Cool stuff. Reminds me of the content you used to see on here all the time before AI took over
Interesting. Thanks for clarifying further.
What about in the cases of satire? I make a joke about the holocaust not happening in a comedy club in Berlin, is that illegal? I think with it being such a slippery slope is why Americans take the stance they do.
Often among some of the first things they'll see period
So build an argument against it. I think hes right, so if you claim he is making leaps, feel free to fill in rhe gaps?
I understand what both of you are saying, I lived in areas where if someone is talking to you on the street theres a high chance theyre asking you for something, so you learn to just kinda block all of it out. Now that I moved to a smaller town, I find myself talking to strangers much more frequently.
Im not sure how the tech works, but they mimic ATM transactions at the POS system & then round up the transaction giving the customer cash back.
This keeps things legal here in MI with a lot of potential for middleware software (between the dispo & bank) that automates compliance reporting that is required by banks. Shops that offer POS systems have competitive advantage still but that may no longer be the case.
I consider any company funded by YC to be engaging in legally grey or fraudulent activity.
Someone new will arise to fill the market gap if there is demand. Saw it firsthand here with the Marijuana industry in Michigan shifting around payment providers to accept credit card transactions after it was legalized. A lot of hoops had to be jumped through. I think it still has the potential to be bad, but it does give opportunities.
I was surprised eBay had the cash on hand for this. Will be interesting to see how it goes.
Yes some recommendations would be nice
Thats sound advice. But why that on the title? Just curious if youd elaborate. I feel like if they are asking of me to do code review, SQL, etc. then my title should align with the rest of the market, especially after a year + multiple years BI experience. Feels like its easy for you to say that about my title when you're not in my shoes (and presumably haven't been called a junior dev for awhile now). Seems completely reasonable to expect a title change at this point, in my opinion.

from the ask-hn dept.
Hey all,Don't have many tech people to talk to so thought I would ask here.So to summarize, I was in BI from 2022 until 2025 when i transitioned to a junior software dev job. I wasn't in a great position when I got the offer, so I had to accept a lowball offer (~75k). A year and a month pass, I ask for $100k and a title change from junior and am told no title change and 10% raise. 100k is the...
Sure. They really knocked it out of the park with performance in .NET 10. I feel like it matches Go or BEAM performance now but with a lot more tools at your disposal.
I use the 'code-first approach' most the time which really leans into the performance improvements. I can write C# data models that automatically update the database schemas on the SQL side. This is obviously possible in other languages/runtimes, .NET just feels quicker to me once you get it all down and gives you more ways to solve problems than most other languages.
yes a key part of the ecosystem! Roslyn is open source as well IIRC
You are correct to mention that especially since theyve eased up on their licensing recently, I had in mind that it was still paid for software like Visual Studio. Rider is much better for .NET than VS code!
Luckily .NET, the compiler, and such are open source now so Microsoft really just handles the big picture stuff. Its got great performance and the new .NET 10 might be my favorite backend runtime ever created.
