Awesomedonut··on Ask HN: What Is Your Hobby?
Creative writing! I mainly do scifi & fantasy (I love combining my technical background with artsy stuff). I'm currently working on a silkpunk (Ancient China setting + retro-futuristic technology based on Ancient Chinese science) science fantasy multimedia webnovel. I'm in the middle of inventing my fictional computing system (tentatively named rune engines) that ties into the magic system. I think, for a lot of science fantasy, the creators tend to keep the science and magic quite separate (ex: the science and magic of Star Wars is pretty clearly distinct) and I'm trying to create a system that combines the both of them. It's been super fun to prod at the question "how would I approach this fantastical universe using the scientific method".

I'm a new grad/junior dev and my observation/experience, for what it's worth, is that most of my peers just want to keep their heads down and get employed. I can think of 2 people that are genuinely super into exploratory dev stuff and tinker with projects (as opposed to hey, I need to make a side project for my resume) out of the very large amount of CS students I know.

I love the visuals! It's super creative and fun, more than most sites I've come across on the web!

Hi all! I'm a CS undergrad senior, graduating this December. I have internship experience at two companies and have completed multiple personal projects. I also completed a practicum term where my team worked directly with a client team to fulfil their needs. My experience largely lies in web development, but I have also worked on desktop and mobile projects before.

I'm looking for any entry-level software engineering position. I'm happy to talk to anyone interested!

Awesomedonut··on GPT-5 for Developers
Used it with Cursor and I've been completely blown away! It solved a pretty complex task in under an hour
Awesomedonut··on Show HN: I built an AI that turns any book into a text adventure game
Wow! Super impressive POC! Tried it out with a few of my favourite novels, and while it definitely got a few chuckles out of me for character/lore inaccuracy, the fact that it's already this functional is really amazing. Great work!

Maybe I'm just using it wrong, but CC hasn't been super helpful for me. I don't believe it's fixed any of my bugs so far. But I do like the CLI
