gardenhedge··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Shopify always comes up but I do t know much about it. Do I interact with Shopify sites without knowing they are Shopify?

But that's not what other people mean when they say consciousness
gardenhedge··on “Code was never the hard part” is an insult to all programmers

You can absolutely not do this

Never on YouTube or Google but yes on Instagram
gardenhedge··on Ask HN: How much AI is in your writing?
For work, it's all curated by AI. Personally, I type it myself.
gardenhedge··on Ask HN: Are Tech Meetups Dead?
The worst thing about these meetups were people that were practising their presentation skills. I know people have to start somewhere but I really don't want to waste my time with that.
gardenhedge··on Google, Microsoft and xAI agree to share early AI models with U.S.
Even with these examples, my comment still stands. I guess it could show how bad it was before!

It sounds like you've brought baggage to the conversation. HN is not the place for that.

I am saying it "seems like americans are MORE free to speak their minds now than before in terms of being banned/silenced by dominating online platforms".

Previously you could not post about certain subjects around covid, ivermectin, anything not in line with woke ideology, political scandals. Accounts would be banned. Communities were shut down on Reddit. High profile figures were banned from Twitter. Now you can post whatever you like on most of these platforms. That's not just me who thinks that by the way, it's a widely discussed thing. Zuckerberg even cited government pressure around content suppression and censorship. Do you disagree?

I'm not american but it seems like americans are MORE free to speak their minds now than before in terms of being banned/silenced by dominating online platforms
gardenhedge··on I am worried about Bun
Absolutely correct. It's not just smart to use AI in this way, it's efficient. And here's the thing most people don't get, you are saving time.

If you would like more insight, just say the word.

gardenhedge··on Show HN: I built a context layer for our home
Good idea - meta should have thought of it. My wife and I use a specific group chat for groceries.

On how you store the data, a server per household? How does that work?

Why not debit cards too?

Isn't that science too?
gardenhedge··on Ask HN: Why are companies so distrustful of remote employees?
I think there is a common assumption that everyone above you in the company org chart is hard(er) working/smart/more experienced/more strategic etc. In reality that is not the case. The result is that lots of decisions don't make sense.
gardenhedge··on GPT-5.5
Strange behaviour to defend a company like this. Reset the limits openai!

gardenhedge··on Turn your best AI prompts into one-click tools in Chrome
Yeah.

1) I follow a strict diet with specific health goals. I often chat with AI on if foods fit into my diet and what benefit they provide. I do my food shopping online in a browser. For example, if I am looking at pecan nuts, I would previously copy the url into Claude and discuss it. With this tool I can do it directly in the browser. The stored prompt would be my current diet and health goals.

2) I often have AI chats about projects I am doing. I regularly copy and paste product links into the chat to discuss. With this tool, I can do it right from the browser with one click - where the project details are stored within the prompt.

gardenhedge··on Ask HN: LeetCode, anyone still doing it?
I'm not interviewing currently but I would laugh if given a leetcode problem and expected not to use AI
gardenhedge··on Turn your best AI prompts into one-click tools in Chrome
I can immediately think of personal use cases for this.
gardenhedge··on Claude Code Routines
Yeah, I build my workflows with two things in mind:

1) that AI will be more advanced in the future

2) that the AI I am using will be worse in the future

gardenhedge··on We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
Has that ever been achieved in software/dev industry?

Taylor Swift is just an example of the activity I was talking about. Both an be bad - no need for whataboutisms
gardenhedge··on I put my whole life into a single database
But there is no greater good if you don't fly and Taylor Swift (etc) still does. You're just disadvantaging your own life for no reason.

gardenhedge··on Office.eu launches as Europe's sovereign office platform
> You will be able to choose. Office EU can connect to different AI providers through APIs, such as ChatGPT, Mistral, and others

Seems a misstep to list an American AI provider first...

what about it?
gardenhedge··on How do you capture WHY engineering decisions were made, not just what?
Your company is missing an architect role. An architect would know why redis over in-memory cache and have that pattern documented. They would definitely know why graphql for the one service but REST everywhere else - they would have it documented from design approval meetings.
