Juste trying it without success until I remembered I'm using vimium :-D
hamdouni··on How I build software quickly
You are right. I have a pre-production environment with a copy of production data and a script that scramble names and personal infos.
hamdouni··on How I build software quickly
Not quite UX-focused, but related

I meant data heterogeneity - the variety in formats, edge cases, and data quality you encounter in production. Real user data often has inconsistencies, missing fields, unexpected formats, etc. that synthetic test data tends to miss.

This helps surface integration issues and performance bottlenecks early.

hamdouni··on How I build software quickly
When possible, I try to use real data for both volumetry and heterogeneity testing.

It helps reveal unknowns in the problem space that synthetic data might miss.

hamdouni··on LLMs Bring New Nature of Abstraction
A wise human
hamdouni··on Project Vend: Can Claude run a small shop? (And why does that matter?)
"Sarah" and "Connor" in the same text about an AI that claims to be a real person... Asta la vista;-)
hamdouni··on XSLT – Native, zero-config build system for the Web
Still maintaining an e-commerce site using XML/xslt and Java/servlet... Passed easily each wave of tech and survived 2 databases migrations (mainframe/db2 => sqlserver => ERP)
hamdouni··on Samsung embeds IronSource spyware app on phones across WANA
I think this is an open letter addressed to Samsung, not an article trying to convince readers... Perhaps, the takeaway can be the call for transparency as a minimum ?
hamdouni··on Accumulation of cognitive debt when using an AI assistant for essay writing task
I can also explore by writing. Writing drafts can help structure my thinking.
hamdouni··on Cloudlflare builds OAuth with Claude and publishes all the prompts
Claude is not mentioned in the 'contributors' section.
hamdouni··on Regex Isn't Hard (2023)
I jump here just to say that non-greedy construction is valuable and not using them make expression harder to write and to understand.

Minotiry Report comes to mind...

hamdouni··on Brazil's government-run payments system has become dominant
It would be great if we could have some sort of roaming to interconnect those country specific systems...
hamdouni··on Trees not profits: we're giving up our right to ever sell Ecosia (2018)
On the contrary, it will be an incentive to stop.
hamdouni··on Ask HN: Should I abandon the app stores for the web?
The key is the "discoverability".

App stores are easier to reach prospects than the web because users already know where to go to install a new app...

That is more difficult on the web unless you have a very niche app (users are looking for your solution).

hamdouni··on 60 Hours a week is the sweet spot of productivity?
I've never read anything about a "sweet spot of productivity" involving working 60h/w. And it is kind of funny that his motto is not "work smarter" but "work harder" in the context of AI :-)
hamdouni··on Show HN: Libredesk – Open-source customer support desk. Single binary app
It still needs postgres and redis
hamdouni··on Diátaxis – A systematic approach to technical documentation authoring
Reminds me of Presentation Zen or the 10/20/30 rule which states that “a presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points.”
hamdouni··on Forced to upgrade
Reminds me of the bricked Nexus 7...
hamdouni··on Forced to upgrade
There is a little difference between not supporting any more and blocking the user.
hamdouni··on Dear friend, you have built a Kubernetes
I was using some ansible playbook scripts to deploy to production some web app. One day the scripts stopped working because of a boring error about python version mismatch.

I rewrite all the deployment scripts with bash (took less than a hour) and never had a problem since.

Morality: it's hard to find the right tool for the job
