hnthrow10282910··on AMA: I'm a Random HN User, ask me anything (and I might respond)
What matters to you deeply beyond survival and family and pets
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: Are most corporate SWE jobs performative?
Thanks. This was a valuable read for me
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: Are most corporate SWE jobs performative?
This response is naive.
hnthrow10282910··on Show HN: UK sold house prices, uncapped, by postcode/county (Land Registry)
London flats are incredibly expensive and given the job market it is making it really hard to justify buying one.

Does anyone in London own their home/flat? I’m not looking to live outside zone 1/2 as I sacrifice why I moved here to begin with. However, these 850k flats that are just basic as hell are extremely overpriced IMO.

hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: Options for critical thinking and learning outside work?
Thanks, all things on my list :)
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: Thoughts on Siri AI?

hnthrow10282910··on Backrest – a web UI and orchestrator for restic backup
Backrest has been working well and ran a ton of my backups. The UX was a bit odd at first, but was able to set it up without much pain
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: AI efficiency in the workplace
Everything lately is just AI slip specs that people ask me to review. Like, if they spent 10 mins LLMing it I can’t afford to spend 3 hours reviewing it. The same is now happening with code and the quality is decreasing rapidly as we lose critical thinking skills.

Ultimately the trade off for “productivity” IMO is decreased critical thinking for everything offloaded into AI.

hnthrow10282910··on What's the best SaaS landing page you've seen recently?
Don’t require a login for a demo and make sure you have a demo. Maddie pricing explicit.

Worry about the look and feel second, but also worry about it

hnthrow10282910··on Mourning and moving on: rituals for leaving a career (2014)
Same here. Lots of stress and work for a career that causes me stress only to retire and die.
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: How do you sync your Git repos across machines at home?
You can setup glusterfs incredibly easily. When you write to one dir it’ll auto replicate to N machines. Did this over the weekend and it took me no time at all. Support is realistically Linux only IIRC with some MacFuse stuff for OSX
hnthrow10282910··on Kim Dotcom's extradition to the U.S. given green light by New Zealand
God damn, me too and I feel like I’m going crazy
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: What's a lucrative niche technical skill you can learn on your own?
Why would AI put this on the downtrend? ML OPs is huge
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: How to contact businesses for B2B products
Have you tried emailing them?
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: Am I missing something (modern webdev)?
Nothing is. Just because people build tools doesnt mean you have to use them.

Maybe build your own stuff and seek out tools when you need them

hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: What is the coolest thing you have seen done with a bash script?
Reminds me of this article https://www.jitbit.com/alexblog/249-now-thats-what-i-call-a-...
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: How does Cloudflare DNS filter Google results?
Wow awesome, thanks a lot. I was second guessing my understanding of MITM DNS attack knowledge
hnthrow10282910··on Show HN: Unclutter – Reader mode, but better
Might just be me, but the example photos (not the first two) don’t load on the landing page
hnthrow10282910··on 22-11-22 22:11:22
Laughed out loud at this
hnthrow10282910··on Make any web page a desktop application
Is electron still considered bad? I’ve see people rage over it due to CPU and memory consumption. I’m working on a web app that I’d love to just roll directly into desktop.
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: Readings to more deeply understand JavaScript?
Thanks a lot!
hnthrow10282910··on Where my characters come from
Strangely the only book I’ve read from him is his memoir about running, which vastly differs from the rest of his works

Can anyone recommend a good book from him you enjoyed?

hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: Greybeard cowboy coder looking for advice on being more professional
These comments are great, but to get a job, you can’t casually read Code Complete.

1. Cracking the coding interview 2. Leetcode 3. System design

CTCI will give you the key of the land. The following two will you get a job.

Timebox 60 days. I got FAANG offer doing this and some other offers.

hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: Where does everyone go after mass layoffs?
Cheers
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: Where does everyone go after mass layoffs?
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I guess it’s good to never get too comfortable.
hnthrow10282910··on Use a custom domain to send emails with Gmail using Cloudflare email routing
Like within the header? It will show the custom domain in the from field of the email. Im not sure what the big deal is, but I’m curious.
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: What to do about underperforming coworker
Sometimes it could be you dragging them down by making them feel bad about themselves.

Are they uncomfortable in a group setting, going through health issues?

Let’s define underperforming fairly. Are they new? Just because they don’t match the team, maybe they’re learning still. It’s good to reflect.

Also, talk to them, be a friend. It’s a team not a competition.

hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: How do you manage your important personal documents and other data?
Is deployment and management easy?
hnthrow10282910··on Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?
Any chance you publish the source code?

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and couldn’t find anything and was going to just build myself. I’ve been exporting from Notion to Anki and it’s been a pain.

My worry is that the developer will shut down and I’ll lose all my cards.

Edit: beautiful iPhone app, laying in bed playing with it
