Ask HN: Any tools to automatically diagram cloud infra?
Are there any tools that will automatically scan AWS, GCP, Azure and diagram what is deployed?So far, I have found CloudCraft from Datadog, but this only supports AWS and its automatically diagraming is still in beta (AFAIK).I am considering building something custom for this - but judging from the lack of tools that support multi-cloud, or only support manual diagraming, I wonder if I am...
Show HN: Turn your RSS feeds into a NotebookLM-style daily podcast
About a year ago, I built an RSS reader than had some features I couldn't find elsewhere at the time (specifically topic/keyword muting). I recently added the ability to listen to a daily podcast, generated from an individuals personal RSS feeds.While I think the idea is cool, I am curious if others would listen to a podcast they know is AI generated, on a more permanent basis? Would anyone...

I'm an engineer that needs to sell my services. Any good books on sales?
I recently left my role as a lead devops engineer and would like to work for myself under a devops service contract model (multiple clients, each part-time). Unfortunately, I know nothing about sales or the mechanics of creating and following up on leads. Are there any good books that can explain the tools and workflows of someone who works in sales? Thanks in advance.

Lesson learned: start with fewer metrics and observe how they are used and interpreted. It is much easier to expand correctly from there. Collecting requirements in a single pass and building a monolith is rarely as productive as it seems - because the barrier to adding things and shifting responsibility to the dashboard is so low in the beginning, that it can easily become a dumping ground.

AFAIK this would be the first such firm focusing on zero knowledge cryptography. The blog doesn't say they are focusing solely on blockchain, but there is a noticeable gap there, as such financial contracts move increasingly to zero-knowledge implementations.
Re:Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?
on Thursday January 26, 2023 @02:32PM (#34537460)
A web3 stack, everything client-side and peer-to-peer. HTML/CSS/JS for front-end. JS/blockchain for backend. JS client-side storage/compute, JS libp2p library for peer-to-peer discovery, networking, syncing, updates, user-generated content, etc. Blockchain for things that need to be tamper-proof or involve payment.

In theory I agree with the OP, but I am having the reverse problem now. My startup has an equal pay policy. I live in San Francisco and have a San Francisco salary, but cannot afford a home here without saving for many years and having a very lean budget.
Next to me are colleagues who live in countries where the cost of living is a fraction. They tell stories of the first and second homes they are building and how they agree with the pay policy. They are living a quality of life that is beyond anything I can have while living in San Francisco, and I partly resent this.
Within the company, people have and are still moving to low cost areas, because the company is fully remote. I however am married and my partner cannot as easily be relocated.
I don't give my company name here because it is very small with only a fraction or employees living in San Francisco.
Ask HN: Is blockchain tech already everything we need it to be?
A recent post asked a question similar to 'Am I going insane or is there no value in blockchain tech'. I have been thinking more about the idea that perhaps blockchain tech has reached maturity, and that we are instead waiting on the remainder of 'Web3' to mature.I may be oversimplifying, but if I look at Web3 as the existing internet, but without central intermediaries; then most applications...

Re:Show HN: A flat file portfolio website for research engineers
on Saturday May 01, 2021 @11:13AM (#27006940)
Greetings everyone, this is my first post to HN (long-time lurker). I'm finishing a PhD and created this website template to show both research and programming work. The site is made as flat files (with no scripting) to be served ideally from object storage like S3. I thought others may find it useful, so I've placed it on GitHub. Contributions, feature requests or general feedback are much welcomed.
