__warlord__··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
Thank you, appreciate the feedback!!
__warlord__··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
I wrote a book about networking, but told through analogies. I spent a lot of my school and early career struggling a bit with networking in general, and I had the opportunity to grow my career and meet people through it that taught me a lot. This is the book I wish I had early on. https://networksbyanalogy.com/

Is this what is called piggybacking?
__warlord__··on Are Argentina being treated favourably at World Cup?
Unfortunately, yes. They are making it quite obvious, and sadly, there isn't anything we can do about it.

__warlord__··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
I’m working on three things that keep turning out to be more connected than I expected.

The first is Networks by Analogy: https://networksbyanalogy.com

It’s a book about computer networking, but deliberately not protocol-first. I’m trying to explain the shape of the system using analogies and mental models first, then map those back onto the real machinery.

The second is Verachi: https://verachi.io

That one is about risk management. I’ve been noticing time and time again, in multiple orgs I’ve worked with, that direction and implementation don’t align in many cases. Devs end up doing work that no one asked for, and middle managers tend to “invent” irrelevant work.

The third is Midflight: https://midflight.dev

This is about learning software architectures using chaos testing. You can bring your own architecture, inject failures in safe environments, practice, and ultimately generate agent skills to automate fixes for these types of failures.

I truly, with passion, hate JIRA.

So, I'm building mooomooo, which is my idea of what it means to replace tools like JIRA, linear, and such with a unified data model that can adapt to solo devs, small teams and huge orgs so I don't have to manually move tickets to done.

I hope I can do my first release soon :)

you are absolutely right
__warlord__··on Ask HN: How do you manage multiple MCP servers in Claude Code?
* Use subagents with access to dedicated tools. * Build slash commands with high level directives to use those sub agents in a structured way

__warlord__··on Apple bans entire dev account, no reason given
And yet, I’m still waiting for them to approve my developer account, It’s been two months now. they seriously need to be broken up and allow other app stores and ways to developer for their hardware.
__warlord__··on GitHub temporarily blocks access from China due to configuration change
"Sure"...

And next will be AWS, Azure, GCP.

We really need to find alternatives to US services.

I don't want my business to depend on the mood of a single individual.

__warlord__··on Show HN: Open ChatGPT/Claude/Google with one address bar command
I like Apple Notes because it has some nice features, and the best part is that Spotlight can search for text inside any note, even in attachments, which makes finding things super easy.

The main reason I use Bear is for its markdown support. I write a lot of technical docs for $dayjob and side projects, so it’s a must-have for me.

If Apple Notes ever adds Markdown support (or at least proper code snippets), then bye bye to Bear.

__warlord__··on Show HN: Open ChatGPT/Claude/Google with one address bar command
Yesterday, I was thinking about building something like this that could also search through my Bear notes and my zsh history, along with other sources.

It would even let me search my query history (but in a smarter way, I promise).

The idea is to:

1. Make it easier to find what I’ve already looked up, so when I search for something I’ve done before, I can quickly pull up what I found or did. 2. If not found locally, to combine several LLMs and search engines at the same time.

What’s your goal in living minimally?

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog
__warlord__··on Alleged images of Nintendo's new Switch have appeared online
Problem is that most people don't care :( they just want to play Zelda.

As long as exclusive games exists people will flock to their hardware. I personally dislike Nintendo as a company but I can't deny that some of the games they produce are the ones I enjoy the most.

__warlord__··on Elon Musk says he's moving SpaceX, X headquarters from California to Texas
> The company has been party to multiple lawsuits related to sexual harassment, assault and workplace injury/death and the ability to try cases in a more friendly environment will make it easier to encourage employees to optimize productivity.

Instead of fixing our culture, less move to a place where committing sexual harassment is "not that much of a problem" ... lol

__warlord__··on Japan's birth rate falls to a record low as the number of marriages also drops
I think this will backfire sooner than later, Imagine a dictator living "100 healthy and productive years" or a billionaire amazing more and more wealth for longer whereas poor people are kept working for longer with poorer and poorer conditions.
__warlord__··on Ask HN: Is it common practice for companies train interviewers on bad candidates
First of all, don't be too hard on yourself, allow yourself some time to reflect on the things you have accomplished and be proud of them.

Also, if you are in Europe use the GDPR as a starting point to ask them to provide any information they have on you including interview feedback, they must comply.

And third and don't get this in the wrong way but you mention several times in this post that you are "a weak candidate from my CV", are you sure you are not giving this vibe to your potential employers?

Honestly, interviewing is hard and there is a lot of asymmetry between candidates and companies specially on this market conditions, my suggestion is (I know it will sound cheesy) but fake it until you make it.

__warlord__··on Twitter is now attention roulette and ultimately meaningless
Pass.
