That’s been my experience. LLMs excel at languages that are popular. JavaScript and Python are two great examples.

I’ve recently engaged with several partners to develop some brownfield sites for AI data centers. I’m looking to connect with AI developers who are purchasing their own hardware. I would like your feedback to ensure our DCs are meeting the modern developers hardware needs. If you’ve ever deployed your own AI hardware, please leave a comment about your experience.

I built this tutorial repo that gets you started building a webchat. Feel free to take it and use it to build your own. It includes LLM context management, SSE for status progress, and backend calendar integration via Block APIs.

I’ve been building automation tools for small businesses and hit a recurring pain point: every booking platform has a totally different API (if it even has one).
So I’m experimenting with a universal booking API: a single JSON interface that lets developers book, cancel, and check availability across many systems (starting with Vagaro, Mindbody, and Fresha).
Under the hood it’s a mix of native APIs and AI-assisted browser automation that handles login states, 2FA, and DOM drift. The goal is to make booking as portable as payments (think Stripe, but for scheduling).
Right now I’m validating demand. If you’ve ever had to build or maintain integrations with scheduling software, I’d love your feedback. What would make an API like this genuinely useful (or trustworthy) for you?
Vagaro, Housecall Pro, Fresha, Zenoti to name a few
These are usually purchased by the business owner to run their core business then they but add on features for marketing, review management, etc.

I've spent the past year working on AI agents and copilots to help small to medium-sized businesses. In most cases, I've hit roadblocks due to integrating with their booking platforms.So far, I've just built integrations as they come, but it's definitely hard to scale. Even with AI coding tools, there's a lot to keep track of.Have any of you found a solution? I'm particularly looking at service...

About a year ago, I started trying to build an AI agent to help businesses nurture cold leads (think a hair salon's old clients). My app fell flat when I realized how many of the book solutions didn't support integrations, and those that did often limited the integrations to higher tiers.Coming back a year later and maybe a little wiser, I decided to take another stab at it, but this time I...
I can’t comment on whether the PMs are doing their job, but I’ve been building on my own for almost a year now. Working directly with the end user is what motivates me and it’s very eye opening. A lot of engineering thought can miss without guidance. Some experience is always worthwhile.

Hi HN, I’m Carl Morris. After 10 years as a data scientist at Amazon, JD.com, and Stitch Fix, I decided to build my own product. That journey eventually led to Callio, a real-time AI call coach for iOS. I am working together with two others to build my startup.It took about 9 months of trial and error to get to the right idea, and 3 months more to build the first version of Callio. I’d love...

While it’s pretty clear that shows like Paw Patrol, Super Wings, and others are built around toys. The article never made it clear why this was bad. The shows still have to be interesting and entertaining to be watched by kids. I personally like Paw Patrol and others for the little lessons learned along the way. This is coming from a parent of a 2.5 year old.
Tried to read on mobile (iOS) but the second code block, maybe called state management, is clipped and not readable.

WeChat for Windows has a shortcut (alt-a) to instantly bring up a cursor to snip a portion of the screen and annotate it with text and shapes. It’s super handy for quickly marking some code or a segment in a doc.
Sounds like you’d enjoy an R5RS scheme. Minimal syntax goes a long way. Unused variables throwing exceptions definitely seems like an over accumulation of technical debt.
I live in Beijing, and they seem to work well. It may help that they are ubiquitous. Or that drivers are used to seeing cyclists (and scooters) everywhere.
In the business world (e-commerce in my case) I know plenty of business analysts who write SQL as their only programming experience. That’s part of what I like about SQL. It bridges the gap.

I was about to add the same comment. I’m not sure why you are being downvoted.
I create a date stamped folder with the company’s name, and put all materials in there. I’ll move emails from each company to separate folder in my mail client as well.
Cool idea! I tried it, but it gave me back the same sentence I put in :(. I guess my sentence was not interesting enough. Unfortunately my connection is too slow to poke around more.
Looks cool, but I can’t try it out on mobile. Good job regardless!
Much better! The OP’s version was not very mobile friendly.
Polar looks awesome! Do you plan to have support for a mobile app? For better or worse I do a ton of reading of PDFs on my phone while commuting by train. It’d be great to sync with my laptop too, but only mobile would be more than enough to get me started.
