Re:Ask HN: Anyone making a living from a paid API? on Saturday May 31, 2025 @11:52AM (#44145063)
MRR?
Yes, for the settlement, sure. But I was referring to this:

"Banks see an opportunity for stablecoins to speed up more routine transactions, such as cross-border payments that can take days in the traditional payments system."

Isn't this what Ripple/XRP is intended for? I always wondered why the banks wouldn't just create and own their own network instead of relying on a 3rd party like that.
Re:Web apps built with Ruby on Rails on Friday January 10, 2025 @10:56AM (#42656745)
Rails 8 made me love Rails again after a few years working with other tools. The new direction is just perfect, specially for solo developers. The 'solid trifecta' in combination with the simplicity of using sqlite3, the new built in auth solution, Kamal... everything, so f*ing good.
Re:JavaScript Naked Day on Thursday April 25, 2024 @08:09AM (#40156480)
What exactly is it with javascript that these people don't like? Does it offend them that the web becomes a more dynamic and colorful experience? I don't get it.
I'm trying to think of a single actually useful thing I ever worked on..

I find it hilarious that we now present runtimes and other programming stuff like it was Apple presenting a new iPhone. This would be satire 15 years ago. No disrespect to Bun tho, I love Bun.

Thanks, I appreciate your perspective!

Cool, sounds like it worked out fine for you!

Ask HN: Going from CTO to Developer?

Let's say you work as a CTO at a failing startup, and you are tired of all the responsibilities, management, etc, and you just want to go back to being a productive developer and write code again. Will this be perceived as a stupid career move or will people understand? Is it a bad move? Asking for a friend.

Re:I bought mysqldump.com and built this, what ya think? on Wednesday January 24, 2024 @03:24AM (#39114969)
To make it less scary, don't make the host and password fields editable, just put placeholders in there for the user, like [HOST], so that they understand they will need to change it when executing it in their own environment.

Just use placeholders for everything
So is this basically a fork of https://github.com/SawyerHood/draw-a-ui ?
You can survive any scenario by basically telling the AI that you survive.

AI: "Your elderly next door neighbour is hellbent on killing you" User: "I calm him down and we become best friends"

I wonder if it would be possible to instruct the AI to bypass this some how.

Re:Digital Nomad Forum on Saturday October 28, 2023 @07:56AM (#38049129)
What if there isn't a "value proposition"? Some times the value comes from people using it, and people find their own value in it organically. With forums, if people use it, it has value.
Wow! Did you build the Calendar component by yourself, or is it using a library?
This, along with the "websites was easier in 1996" is the most rehashed topics on HN

Feels good for some reason knowing that Carmack himself is working on AI from a different angle :)

An alternative version would be to spend the first months trying to sell the product to customers even before it exists. Try to validate as soon as possible, then build and deliver the product.

Bashing the whole OS because you can't automatically organize your windows sounds a bit harsh imo lol
