Would a human end a long-winded text with…?
First I thought CC wrote all its code, but it’s about the engineer’s contributions to CC, which is quite different.

I am curious, what’s the point of re-running these interactions on a UI?
Kubernetes.

In this argument, you are selling OpenAI a bit short.
Re:Ask HN: Best way to create a searchable knowledge base? on Friday October 17, 2025 @06:49AM (#45615180)
Public speaking is great, but not sure if it’s easier to keep a recorded talk (or even a company blog post) up to date than anything else you have full control over.

How about Asahi Linux, or a Fusion/Parallels VM on macOS?

I am waiting for someone with an AI tool that visualises the actual trend.

You are ignoring the part about being a linguist, though. Spending 10 years writing a book is also not quite rare.

Well, saving money is a differentiator, and one of the best things an engineer can put on their CVs.
Re:Ask HN: What do use for private service monitoring? on Tuesday July 01, 2025 @01:29AM (#44430875)
Seems like you’re looking for a glorified ping/prober? There’s blackbox_exporter for Prometheus that works great.

This is also true for human code, more often than not.
Re:Ask HN: What's your open source stack? on Saturday June 07, 2025 @01:31PM (#44211119)
Good ol’ Prometheus and Grafana stack (Loki for logs, Tempo for traces) is perfect for smaller projects. You can also explore having OpenTelemetry collectors in the middle for more sophisticated processing and if you want to keep an eye on its ecosystem.

This is still the goto OSS stack, and I wouldn’t really recommend looking into smaller projects (usually backed by a single vendor) that are claiming better performance/lower resource usage for the same capabilities, because that always comes with a cost.

> Facebook created Hack, a version of PHP with a quite nice static type system, which is virtually not used outside it.

Well there’s at least Slack, and another huge project (which has eventually migrated away from it once PHP has improved) with tens of millions of users. There has to be others, too.

Really?

While there can be other signs of management not doing so good, let’s not forget that this person is leaving after 19 years.
Re:Early Feedback on Zed Editor on Sunday May 11, 2025 @11:05AM (#43954315)
Two weeks of using Zed, Zed after 2 weeks, etc.
Re:Early Feedback on Zed Editor on Sunday May 11, 2025 @08:09AM (#43953237)
By early, I expected something early in relation to Zed itself.
IMHO at scale (both in terms of complexity and org level) having something consistent helps more than trying to fight the de-facto standard. Since most upstream projects are mainly distributed as Helm charts, going with anything else will require more effort eventually.

Hm, no, I’ve never had this thought.

Re:Breaking Up with On-Call on Tuesday March 18, 2025 @08:21AM (#43398536)
Usually (always?) regular working hours are compensated as usual. Then there’s rate for standby periods and another rate for each (half) hour when you get pinged and start doing actual work.
Re:Ask HN: Are there any CLI only tools that are monetised on Monday February 03, 2025 @05:28PM (#42924209)
Reads like an LLM-generated, low effort reply.
It depends on the problem the startup is aiming to solve. E.g, I am pretty sure that Go is much better for building infrastructure products than Ruby.
