cloudking··on Pairing with Claude Code to rebuild my startup's website
I run 4 to 8 Claude Codes in parallel daily, AMA
cloudking··on Show HN: I reverse engineered macOS to allow custom Lock Screen wallpapers
This is awesome, nice work!

Next, can you please reverse engineer spaces (multiple desktops) so we can rename them? Desktop 1, Desktop 2 etc is not very useful.

cloudking··on Show HN: FFmpeg Pages – because I was tired of fighting FFmpeg
This is useful!

Personally I use AI-shell CLI, type "ai" and ask things like "ffmpeg convert input.mp4 to webm clip first 8 seconds" or any other shell command you need.

cloudking··on 800% organic growth, no company, no funding what to do?
What is the issue? Why does leaving the Bay Area matter if it's an online business getting sales?
cloudking··on 800% organic growth, no company, no funding what to do?
Are you actually getting sales?
cloudking··on Claude Code is all you need
Claude Code has very reliable tool calls, that's why I'm using it.

Tried Cursor, Windsurf and always ran into tool failures, edit failures etc.

cloudking··on I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file
Next version, a pen and paper!
cloudking··on Ask HN: How can ChatGPT serve 700M users when I can't run one GPT-4 locally?
They are hosted on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure and Microsoft owns 49%

They are also partnering with rivals like Google for additional capacity https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/openai-taps...

cloudking··on Show HN: Conductor, a Mac app that lets you run a bunch of Claude Codes at once
Looks like they added local Git support, but it still requires Github auth for email address https://x.com/charliebholtz/status/1950556998900007239
cloudking··on URL-Driven State in HTMX
I like the simplicity. I've been building some web apps with Alpine.js recently, another lightweight React alternative. It's pretty powerful and capable for building reactive SPAs, only ~16kb.

cloudking··on Show HN: Conductor, a Mac app that lets you run a bunch of Claude Codes at once
Why not local git support?
cloudking··on Backlog.md – Markdown‑native Task Manager and Kanban visualizer for any Git repo
This is a neat implementation, personally I use https://www.task-master.dev
cloudking··on EverQuest
Still holds the most hours spent in a single game for me, and it was 100% worth it. Met a ton of cool people, improved my communication and learned useful skills leading a guild, that I later applied in my career.
cloudking··on Datadog's $65M/year customer mystery solved
What problems does Datadog solve that you can't solve with cheaper solutions?
cloudking··on Show HN: SmartStepper – Multi-Step Form Library with Config-Based Flow

cloudking··on Reverse engineering Claude Code
Claude Code seems a lot more stable than Cursor Agent. I've had it run for 15-20 minutes on a single prompt, debugging, testing and fixing bugs. Also haven't seen network timeout or file edit failures.

cloudking··on Claude Code is now available to Pro plans
Yes, in Max mode it's ~2x cheaper than Claude 4 and has a much large context window (1m tokens)
cloudking··on Claude Code is now available to Pro plans
Cost vs value for coding, I'm still sticking with Gemini 2.5 Pro. I tried Sonnet and Opus in Cursor Max mode, and it was very expensive comparatively.
cloudking··on Show HN: PinSend – Share text between devices using a PIN(P2P, no login)
This is a cool idea!

I solved it for myself using Signal, it has a "Note to Self" feature and you can access it with Signal mobile and desktop. It's also E2E encrypted. https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360043272451-No...

Try https://www.task-master.dev it handles this smoothly
cloudking··on Getting AI to write good SQL
Yep, probably why I got upvoted then downvoted. I've been using LLMs to write SQL queries for 2 years.
cloudking··on Getting AI to write good SQL
Exactly, add any documentation you have about the app for more context too.
cloudking··on Getting AI to write good SQL
This is pretty simple in any foundation model, provide a well commented schema and ask for the query

Why is Java so popular in enterprise?
