antdke··on Cartoon Network Flash Games
As a kid, I could type their URL from muscle memory with my eyes closed - that’s how much I loved this site.

Good times.

antdke··on Cursor Camp
That was a lot of fun. Brought back some nostalgia :)
antdke··on Slop is not necessarily the future
Yup - In the end, it’s still just a tool that adheres to the steering (or lack thereof) of the user.
antdke··on Universal Claude.md – cut Claude output tokens
Agreed. Projects like these tend to feel shortsighted.

Lately, I lean towards keeping a vanilla setup until I’m convinced the new thing will last beyond being a fad (and not subsumed by AI lab) or beyond being just for niche use cases.

For example, I still have never used worktrees and I barely use MCPs. But, skills, I love.

antdke··on Shall I implement it? No
Yeah, anyone who’s used LLMs for a while would know that this conversation is a lost cause and the only option is to start fresh.

But, a common failure mode for those that are new to using LLMs, or use it very infrequently, is that they will try to salvage this conversation and continue it.

What they don’t understand is that this exchange has permanently rotted the context and will rear its head in ugly ways the longer the conversation goes.

antdke··on Shall I implement it? No
Well, imagine this was controlling a weapon.

“Should I eliminate the target?”

“no”

“Got it! Taking aim and firing now.”

antdke··on Zuckerberg's internal emails rendered as Facebook Messenger
This is cool! Nice work OP.

There’s something about seeing it as chat messages that makes it feel more tangible.

antdke··on An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me – The Operator Came Forward
This is such a scary, dystopian thought. Straight out of a sci fi novel
antdke··on An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me – The Operator Came Forward
This is a Black Mirror episode that writes itself lol

I’m glad there was closure to this whole fiasco in the end

antdke··on Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah
For the few that find this acceptable (or even celebrate this), then they must also be able to say:

“If I say something that someone doesn’t like, then they are justified in killing me.”

And accept it.

antdke··on I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file
Ironically, I ignored Apple’s Reminders app as an options for years. It’s now my daily operating system. Lots of simple table-stakes features out of the box that elevate the experience above just using a simple Notes app
antdke··on 2021 Goal: I Will Write Everyday
I've been inspired by folks like Pat Walls [0] to write everyday in 2021.

Three big reasons being that:

- I want to get all my good ideas out of my head - I want to get all my bad ideas out of my head - It builds people's trust in my character

The internet is already 1-dimensional. So being able to interact with the thoughts of someone adds more dimensions to that person for you. And I want to be more than some pixels on a screen.

Edit:

Patio11 was another inspiration for sure. Dude's writings are legendary.

antdke··on Same as It Ever Was
Probably my favorite blog post of 2020.

Definitely top 5.

Hope you all enjoy it.

antdke··on Show HN: PM News – Career advice from top PMs to advance your product career
Hi HN,

Personally, I created PM News to learn from the best.

I’m 21 and I love building products. I’ve made a few.[0]

I even started a popular newsletter [1] about making products.

Over time, I noticed that many of my readers wanted career advice to help them along their product career.

So I thought, “why not just create a place with the best product career advice on the web?”

PM News allows me to help those that want to advance in their career.

It also gives me an excuse to have conversations with some of the best product people in the biz like Chris Messina. And Brian Norgard (fingers crossed).

This is designed for people already in their career that want insights to advance further.

Hope you all find it useful :)

antdke··on How to Become Successful by Competing with Yourself
I felt shitty this afternoon.

Kept comparing myself to much more successful Tech Twitter folks. So, I asked myself, "Why?"

One self-meditation session later, and this Twitter thread was born.

I think I killed my ego with this one.

I hope you all find it helpful too :)

antdke··on Show HN: Product Checklist – A collection of best practices for building product
Thanks man. That's a good point. I'll add that in
antdke··on Show HN: Product Checklist – A collection of best practices for building product
I created Product Checklist because over my time of learning how to build products, I've found many super useful articles, tweets, and tools.

I want to make it easier for others to find these resources.

I broke up these resources based on the different stages of building products: Thinking up ideas, building the product, etc.

I took a lot of inspo from Checklist Design [1] by George Hatzis [2].

So yeah, It's good looking site so I hope you take a look and find it useful.

Also, there's still lots I can add to it. So if you have any recommendations, leave a comment.

antdke··on Disney’s head of streaming leaves to become CEO of TikTok
This is a power move by TikTok.

They’re looking for new ways to capitalize of the attention they have on the platform.

Does anyone give a fuck that they’re run by the Chinese government though?

antdke··on Second-Order Product Thinking
In this post, I thought of a few famous second order effects in tech.

For example,

In 2016, they remove headphone jack.

1st Order: Frustrating UX

2nd Order: Airpods are a ~$200B business

Anyone here know of any other good ones?

antdke··on UX Design Pro Tips for Data-Intensive Interfaces
hey HN, so I put together best practices for designing data-driven, enterprise apps.

I tried to be as complete as I could, but I may have missed a good point or two.

So, if you have experience building enterprise apps and have your own additional insights, then I'd love to hear it :)

Although I did a good amount of googling, I'm almost certain that I missed a couple best practices. Anyone else know a few more good ones?

Using these to write an issue for my product newsletter.

Thanks in advance :)

antdke··on Show HN: Spatially aware group video calls from the browser
Super fun take on spatial software with video calling. But made me kind of uncomfortable haha

Also, I'd try to make it easy for a person to leave the chat room. Couldn't find an exit. Not good UX

I'm sure you'll improve it along the way. Good stuff :)
