Nice, at least they’re consistent.

Ha, I wouldn’t bet on it.

Haha, let me know how it tastes.
Re:State of Kdenlive on Saturday April 18, 2026 @09:10AM (#47815642)
Kdenlive hits the perfect sweet spot for me. It's much more capable than basic editors like iMovie, but doesn't have the overwhelming learning curve (or steep hardware requirements) of DaVinci Resolve. Like others have mentioned, pairing it with OBS for screen recording and Audacity for audio makes for an incredibly powerful, 100% FOSS media creation stack. It's amazing to see how far open-source video editing has come.
Re:Ask HN: LeetCode, anyone still doing it? on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @03:47AM (#47762564)
The meta is definitely shifting. Since AI can now instantly output a flawless solution to almost any medium/hard LeetCode problem, asking someone to write it from memory on a whiteboard feels entirely disconnected from 2026 reality. What I'm seeing more of now is a heavy shift towards System Design, architecture, and "Code Review" interviews where you are given AI-generated code and asked to find the hidden bugs or security flaws.

Show HN: Connections Hint Today – spoiler-safe hints for NYT Connections

Posted by visiohex on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @03:14AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://connections-hint.today/

I built this because most Connections helper pages jump to the answer too quickly.This one is designed to feel more like a coach than a spoiler page: light hints first, stronger hints only when needed, archive pages for review, Sports Edition support, and a small result analyzer for post-game review.It updates automatically every day and is built as an independent side project.

Re:The Economics of Software Teams: Why Most Engineering Orgs Are Flyi... on Monday April 13, 2026 @09:03AM (#47751383)
The core reason most orgs are "flying blind" is that we still don't have a reliable metric for technical debt. Management only tracks shipped features and velocity because they are easy to measure. They completely ignore the hidden liability of a rushed, messy codebase until productivity eventually grinds to a halt. You can't measure the economics of a team if you ignore the balance sheet.
Re:I went to America's worst national parks so you don't have to on Monday April 13, 2026 @09:01AM (#47751369)
The ironic thing about the "best" national parks these days is that they are so overcrowded the experience can be genuinely miserable. I would gladly take a "sub-par" or boring park where I can actually be alone with nature over sitting in a two-hour traffic jam in Yosemite or Yellowstone just to see a tree.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026) on Monday April 13, 2026 @08:56AM (#47751300)
I’m building https://connections-hint.today, a spoiler-safe helper for NYT Connections.

The idea is simple: hints first, answers later. It has daily updates, archive pages, Sports Edition support, and a lightweight analyzer for reviewing misses.

Built with Astro + Cloudflare Pages/Workers + D1.

Hi HN — I built PowerVerb: https://www.resumeactionverbs.comIt rewrites weak resume bullets (like “Responsible for…”) into stronger, ATS-friendly versions, while trying not to invent facts.What it does: - generates 3 rewrite variations (leadership / execution / impact) - suggests stronger action verbs by role (engineering, product, marketing, sales, etc.) - includes a repetition checker for...

Show HN: APA citation generator that explains missing metadata

Posted by visiohex on Thursday February 26, 2026 @03:00AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://apacitationgenerator.online

I built this because many citation tools return incomplete APA references (especially missing author/date -> n.d.), and users still have to fix everything manually.This tool takes a URL or DOI and: - extracts metadata with rule-first parsing - uses AI to fill likely missing fields - shows confidence + “needs review” warnings - lets you edit and copy both reference + in-text citation...
