we've faced this same problem but thinking about it a little deeper reminded me that this issue is no different to pre-llm world. someone creates a spec, someone or a team build/implement the spec and after actioning any feedback from testing or from customers, the product evolves and is no longer aligned with the initial spec.

i think one way to solve this is having an someone or an agent update the initial spec with any new changes as and when they are made.

> What is also interesting is that London's productivity growth is falling compared to Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool. So those cities that aren't getting the fancy new train lines are actually performing better.

What data is this based on?

Re:Ask HN: Is it still worth pursuing a software startup? on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @12:10PM (#46798211)
Product is very rarely the moat. It also depends on what you're building. A software startup can not win solely by just having a great product (of course there are exceptions). Finding a niche community, being able to distribute your product to them, how you price it, frequency of updates etc... all things that were just as important in building a moat pre agentic coding

Which email clients work well with keyboard shortcuts?

I have been a longtime user of Superhuman but since they increased the price and now have been acquired by Grammarly (see discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44433994) I want to find an alternative.It doesn't need to have all the "AI" that Superhuman has but keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys are a must. Must also have a mobile appI've tried Spark, Shortwave, Apple Mail, Gmail,...

" then open up the links having a high number of comments or sometimes, the ones whose titles intrigue me. Roughly, this would lead to opening about 5-6 web links per HN visit. For 3-4 of those, I’d return to their respective HN posts to read the comments. I usually browse up to the 2nd, and sometimes 3rd page of HN per visit"

I have used hn like this for last 10years - is this a thing that I'm not aware of?

Re:What is your process/stack for "saving for later" on Sunday May 11, 2025 @07:52PM (#43958280)
Thanks - will give this a try - looks great and love the name. Not having a browser extension is a dealbreaker as I mostly browse on web vs phone.

I will download anyway and feedback with thoughts.

What is your process/stack for "saving for later"

Like many here, I have a habit of tab hoarding. I also have what feels like a gazzilion interests. I often save things in tabs. It might be an image of a mobile app i like and might want to reference. It might be an article on some economic policy that i want to read about. it might be random businesses i've come across and want to revisit later.It can mostly be categorised as- work (written...

Re:Ask HN: How do you make money on the side? on Thursday July 22, 2021 @08:19AM (#27917985)
amazon fba works well as a side hustle. There was a lot of upfront work but then became mostly automated/ passive. I ran one for a couple years whilst working as a PM and eventually sold it.

How do you manage multiple email addresses?

I've started to clear up my digital clutter and realised I have too many email addresses. Personal, a very old email address(junk), work, side project addresses etc. All are gmail and I use Inbox, but I'm curious to know how others manage this.

This is a nice idea

Have you tried posting somewhere like https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/ - you might have some luck in finding users there given the audience

I just signed up to 'solve this problem' as it's something I'm currently working on.

Is there a particular reason why you're looking for an InDinero replacement?

This made me think about the time I saw a deliveroo rider being carried away in a stretcher after an accident. It upset me to think that I'm pretty sure theres a customer waiting for their food and most likely cursing the rider/ sending angry emails
Start by diving deeper into how blockchain technology works. Having a better understanding, will allow you to conceptualise how it can be used in an industry where you have strong domain expertise

Developers may be able to build the technology, but if they don't have a strong understanding of its application for 'industry X' then I'm sure you can somehow fill that gap.

E.g. Auditing is a common example used of an industry that can be completely changed through the use of blockchain. But I'm pretty sure these developers would need to work with people who have experience with auditing and what it entails - just as auditors would need to understand how blockchain works
