Ironically, almost all the content on that page sounds AI generated to me!
If only Bain could use their AI skills to fix their website. It's a horrible and convoluted mess!

I wonder if passively consuming online/offline content is considered idling!
Thanks for the judgment, but I think you might have missed the point I was making.
A few months ago, I stopped reading random news and decided to stick only to Hacker News. But now, even Hacker News is filled with random content. I guess there's no escaping the news these days.
Re:Practical UX for startups surviving without a designer on Thursday March 13, 2025 @03:19AM (#43350989)
Developers always had the flexibility to create custom UI elements/colors etc even in native apps (albeit not as easily as using CSS). Even in SPAs, most UI elements follow the same style or pattern more or less (bootstrap/tailwind etc). It's the entire UI design itself that's not user friendly for enterprise/business apps (excessive padding, comically large UI elements etc).
Re:Age and cognitive skills: Use it or lose it on Thursday March 06, 2025 @12:35PM (#43282857)
This is a rather simplistic view of life IMHO. What’s wrong with people working for rent or groceries? What do you expect everyone to work on?

Not sure if you’ve intentionally omitted it but I would also include YouTube in this list. YouTube can be very addictive with all the clickbait thumbnails etc.

Re:Using LLMs and Cursor to finish side projects on Saturday January 04, 2025 @12:15PM (#42596052)
In my experience, it's worth keeping source files as small as possible. Windsurf regularly has problems with files that are larger than 300 lines, especially if they are not JS/TS files.
Glad to see Alpine mentioned here! Hope it gets more adoption.
Re:Microsoft Fast Design on Friday August 07, 2020 @12:21PM (#24083610)
Not sure if it's just me but I kind of feel like these components are not very polished - at least not to the point of Bootstrap/AntDesign. May be it's the square unrounded borders or may be it's just the way the demo components are presented.
Re:Show HN: I built a cron job scheduler on Thursday May 28, 2020 @01:46PM (#23340182)
Cool landing page! Interestingly, I don't see any type of navigation menu (such as a hamburger menu) in the mobile page. Any particular design reason why you opted for that?
My problem is quite the opposite. I am able to finish a side project but I lack ideas.
Re:Spotify to Apple: Time to Play Fair on Wednesday March 13, 2019 @10:01AM (#19378663)
Slightly off-topic: I find it intriguing that Spotify keeps on calling their users as 'fans' instead of users or customers!
Re:Whitespace killed an enterprise app on Thursday February 14, 2019 @06:47AM (#19161182)
Speaking of data intensive applications, I find it really hard to design a complex UI with popular frameworks such as bootstrap/antd because of the amount of padding/white space in input/select/row/column components. Always have to adjust the CSS/LESS/SAAS/whatever to get to an optimal amount of whitespace.
this! A decent full keyboard Android phone (even at the cost of a reduced screen size) would be fantastic.
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2018) on Wednesday August 01, 2018 @06:11PM (#17667532)
Could you please share your tech stack?
So true. I must start doing this as well. I recently started picking up momentum on my React-Redux skills. Constantly reading various opinion pieces (irrespective of whether they are supported/non-supported) are tempting me to take a look a look at (or evaluate) other libs/frameworks.

Thanks for posting the job. Is German language skill mandatory?
Re:Don’t Do for Money What Others Do for Love on Monday April 09, 2018 @10:58AM (#16793488)
Sorry got confused at the C#/Unity part. Did you mean Unity and C# are terrible career choices at the moment as opposed to Python/AWS?
Re:Ask HN: I'm out of ideas for side projects. Help please. on Monday February 13, 2017 @08:53AM (#13635154)
hi, I am interested. could you please share the details? su88981 [at] gmail [dot] com. thanks so much.
Thanks for the info.
Do you self-host them in Linux? Or are you using something like nginx reverse proxy?
Re:CoreCLR ARM 32-bit progress on Monday November 21, 2016 @07:54AM (#13004975)
Great work. Can't help but notice most of the contributors in this issue are Samsung Electronics employees. Interesting to see Samsung in the .net world!
