Re:Benchmarking Coding Agents on Databricks' Multi-Million Line Codebase
on Thursday July 09, 2026 @02:44AM (#48841845)
Every line you delete is a line you no longer need to maintain. We aggressively prune old code in our apps and it has definitely helped with maintainability. For a mobile app it’s also code you don’t ship so that’s a nice bonus which I guess is not much of an argument on a backend codebase
Re:Building a Foursquare Clone on AT Protocol

Wrote up a high level overview on what you would need to build an open source Foursquare clone on the AT Protocol today. Based on what i've learned experimenting with Anchor.

I’m experimenting with adding location data to Bluesky posts. Think Swarm/Foursquare check-ins but federated. This is a roundup on the current state of things.

Fastlane Plugin for Translating iOS Apps

Just released this fastlane plugin to translate your iOS apps. It uses the DeepL api to translate all the languages you have in your Localizable.xcstrings file. I use it to translate my own apps and feel like more iOS devs could use this to have a bigger reach for their apps.

Re:Ask HN: Which tech stack is the most fun?

Top notch developer experience; it just works. But when i was building a semi large web app with it a few years back I got quite bored with the amount of cookie cutter code I needed to write. Perhaps the amount of rails type frameworks has progressed enough for that to have become a non issue though.

As a react native developer I can confirm SwiftUI is more fun. Mostly because of the relative simplicity. You just need Xcode or these days an iPad with Playgrounds on it and you can build stuff.

* differentiate between backlog and ready for development: (bi)weekly triage
* bugs first, then code reviews, then features
* order features by priority; PM? Triage as well?
* work ready for development list top to bottom
Looks like the tags and keyvals could cover some of that. Maybe a bit hard to express priority (or change it).
Would be neat if changes in the dashboard would update the todos in your code (bit scary though)

Postico is great but it does seem to hang/crash with big operations quite often. From my quick tests it does not seem like TablePlus has similar issues which is fantastic.

Re:A quick guide to Stripe’s culture

We had been collecting these internally for a while now. We're working on a product in this space currently so this seemed like a good time to start sharing some of this stuff with the outside world.
We intend to keep curating on high quality full handbooks only but perhaps it's worth thinking about other sub sites or a blog at well at some point.
Glad you like it!

If your interested in how different companies deal with 'sharing' their culture you might enjoy https://handbook.work We have built this recently to start collecting company handbooks, and culture guides like this, as inspiration for writing your own. Or just for the curious.

Ugh typos, but you got my point :) Are you planning to move beyond programming too (duolingo for learning -anything-) or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
Re:Launch HN: Py (YC S17) – Learn to Code on the Go

Just finished the swift course and it leaves me wanting more. I mostly like that I can do a few excercises while waiting for the train to arrive and then just pick it up the next day for a few minutes. Feels a bit like duolingo for learning. Unnoticed some humanities subjects in the store screenshots? Would be cool to do the same treatment for history or more high level concepts in programming like algorithms. Kudos so far!
