I wish

I think it means "Go To Market"

Worked in a portfolio site for vibecoded projects: https://vibefolio.link

I know this article is about the stack, but I'd like to point out that the success of the author has probably more to do with their marketing/sales strategy than their choice of technical infrastructure.

Something to remind to many tech folks on HN

I organise events as well and I'm wondering if you ever charged for them. I used to do them for free but so many people signed up and didn't attend later that it was hard to put numbers to book a venue to meet. How did you solve this?

I think many engineers in HN have an attitude of "I need this app to do X". I usually consider that a convenience, not a real need. Otherwise, they would be searching for the actual tool solving their X and wouldn't stop until finding it

Taken that my definition of "need" is pretty strict, but I don't think the world needs more tech, lately.

Fair, thanks for explaining

I'm curious, would you be fine with the AI influencers showcasing your product?

> He's holding the guy verbally hostage just to manipulate dumb viewers.

Why? The other person can say "Yes". That doesn't mean ChatGPT has the capability to do it?

> coding is the prime use case for this where you can make money

Which makes me wonder... what's the business model long-term of AI generated art places?

I'll admit that I wore them less than indicated (but always at night) and doesn't seem to make much of a difference?

Yes! I don't know about employers or how they would perceived vibecoding but personally I find awesome to have a single place where to show all the experiments I made and I thought other people would like that as well.

Keen to see what you are you building!

Hi! The categories are edited from the profile edit page. Then you can add them to projects.

Need to fix that as it not obvious UX-wise. Will give it some thoughts. Thanks for trying it!

You don't need to understand how neurons work in detail to be able to use them to do something. In the past, we were able to use electricity for various purposes without knowing about electrons.

What's the point of going through the recruiter markup?

I vibecoded a clone of HN, for philosophical topics, which I'm very fond of. However, I have done a terrible job of marketing it, so that is still on my list: http://forum.philosofriends.com

Right now is basically a repository of philosophy-related links I find interesting, but it would be awesome to find a way to start generating philosophical discussions of the quality I find in HN for tech/AI

> They made him do it again and he passed

I'd assume that if he got a call from Patrick himself and a second opportunity to get interviewed, that's already a cue for interviewers to pass him regardless of what he says?

> They could have done better. They chose the path of least resistance, putting in the least amount of effort, spending the least amount of resources into accomplishing a task

You might as well tell reality to do better: The reality of physics (water flows downhill, electricity moves through the best conductor, systems settle where the least energy is required) and the reality of business (companies naturally move toward solutions that cost less time, less money, and less effort)

I personally think that some battles require playing within the rules of the game. Not to wish for new rules. Make something that requires less effort and resources than Electron but is good enough, and people will be more likely to use it.

> his pre-wealth behavior gives insight into who he really is

"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man."

Not defending Zuck but it reflects a rigid mindset to assume that people cannot change.

This comment could be on its way to http://hackernews.love/

Claude still doesn't have image generation?

> we all pay for access to the internet already

That will cover the physical infrastructure of your Internet provider. But there are a lot of websites and software on the internet that require either ads or payment to survive. Free usually means "surviving with somebody else's money aka investors"

> They only look superficially similar because we did not live the changes ourselves. But read the historical sources enough and you will see

Would you mind expanding on this?

> Social media is at its best when it’s just stuff from people I choose to follow or know.

How do you discover new people? I'd say some people I followed I discovered them thanks for the feed

Event Organizer or Teacher

Why Helix and not Neovim?

As far as my experience goes, hackathons have never been about technical meritocracy but pitching and presentation

Yes, the only issue I had to debug was the password hashing iterations being too much for the low resources of the VPS I was using. That made for logins and registration taking 2 seconds; other than that, smooth as butter. You can check the code at

I work as a software engineer, so I was familiar with the stack I told the AI to build the forum with. Also, the forum was made specifically to see what vibecoding was like, so I didn't look for alternatives. But I'd say is working quite well code-wise.
