bennett_dev··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
From CloudFlare's side (https://blog.cloudflare.com/deno-joins-cloudflare/) is seems celld was the main point of this - letting the Deno team focus on making workerd self-hosting easier.
bennett_dev··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
I feel it leaves a bitter flavor how Ryan Dahl pushed so hard for Deno and Deno Deploy for years, just to let them die within 1 year and 6 months respectively. Thankfully I don't have any codebases that heavily use Deno features, otherwise this would be a steep curve now.

Fullstack/product engineer, mostly working with TypeScript and Python. I'm especially interested in developer tools, AI/agent infrastructure and small teams with a lot of ownership.

I maintain AutoForm, an open-source TypeScript library with 3.5k+ GitHub stars and 50k+ weekly npm downloads. I also built a TikTok Year in Review product that handled ~10M visits in one month, and currently work on an AI agent product using TypeScript/Python, MCP, subagents and human-in-the-loop workflows.

bennett_dev··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2026)
There’s a separate „Who wants to be hired“ thread for this
bennett_dev··on I built non-autoregressive decision models with RL a year ago
Especially with „ sales conversion probability“ it just doesn’t sound universal to other issues - there’s tons of unique models for specific use cases
bennett_dev··on Understanding the recent DDoS attack against Read the Docs
Interesting that the Under Attack Mode wasn’t used at all here. I understand not wanting to break APIs but I feel temporarily challenging non-API usage could have at least helped without impacting users too much?
bennett_dev··on Voyager 1 FDS Computer Emulator
Next add realistic signal delay so you have to wait a day to get the result
bennett_dev··on This Month in Ladybird – April 2026
AFAIK Ladybird is separated from SerenityOS completely now (https://hackaday.com/2024/07/02/fork-ladybird-browser-and-se...) so the Ladybird contributors can fully focus on it
bennett_dev··on I Got Sick of Remembering Port Numbers
Sounds similar to Vercel‘s portless CLI (https://portless.sh/)
bennett_dev··on Asahi Linux Progress Linux 7.0
There was a nice task on 39c3 https://youtu.be/3OAiOfCcYFM

They do try to upstream and eventually just have Linux natively support Apple Silicon!

bennett_dev··on Show HN: Elysia JIT "Compiler", why it's one of the fastest JavaScript framework
I'm not familiar with Elysia but how does this handle subfunctions? e.g. if my code is

const app = new Elysia() .patch('/user/:id', (request) => { return handleUserRequest(request); })

or some other custom logic, does it automatically need to fall back to full parsing?

bennett_dev··on IsoCoaster – Theme Park Builder
Such an interesting showcase of history. RCT was a masterpiece written in Assembly from hand. Looking at code from OpenRCT2 you can really see the thought behind it.

Now ISO Coaster really is a badly slipped together adaptation. A lot of details don’t make sense, graphics often look weird and performance is terrible - all while using tons of compute resources.

bennett_dev··on HTTP Cats
Same - most of the time I just directly open the specific status (e.g https://http.cat/504 )
bennett_dev··on We will ban you and ridicule you in public if you waste our time on crap reports
Nothing to do with politics and everything to do with crappy AI slop. There was some list somewhere of some of those reports and it was painful to look at
bennett_dev··on Show HN: DevicePrint – device fingerprinting without cookies
What differentiates this from http://fingerprint.com/?

Visited for the first time and it said I already visited 800+ times with a 99.5% accurancy - not very promising. From the code this also looks like very simple client-side fingerprinting + IP information?

bennett_dev··on Show HN: Q.js – Smaller than React/Vue, yet more powerful (40KB gzipped)
Exactly my thoughts. The whole time scrolling I thought „and now a full example? Ah no, another block of extreme details I dont need“. If it’s so easy and great - just show me what it looks like
bennett_dev··on Buttplug MCP
This plus ChatGPT scheduled tasks could make an interesting alarm clock
