Tula shows your true cross-venue exposure across HyperLiquid, Aave, and more, what breaks first, and more.

It's a terminal tool. The experience is very similar to any LLM terminal tool if you have used one.

You can also add an agent and ask things in plain English. Live at: https://usetu.la/

I am working on the agent-friendly scorer. It scores the public repos for their agent friendliness. The project also has a GitHub action to comment on the score delta in a PR comment. You can add it as a skill to find out which agent will perform better for the codebase.

hsnice16on [dead]

Recently, I have been reading about system design, and as I work in the Web3 domain, I thought it would be nice if I used my learning to write about how system design can be done in the Web3 domain.

hsnice16on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?

After working for more than 2 years as a frontend engineer, I recently started doing full-stack and the org is using Go so I had to learn that, have kept all my learning in one place - https://github.com/hsnice16/golang_learning

Also, I completed a few AWS-related tasks right after starting full-stack. I have written blogs mentioning what I did to help others.

Lambda function to access RDS, S3. And, Eventbridge in AWS - https://hsnice16.medium.com/lambda-function-to-access-rds-s3...

Use private AWS Aurora with DBeaver using SSH tunneling - https://hsnice16.medium.com/use-private-aws-aurora-with-dbea...

Build and Push the docker image on AWS ECR using GitHub actions - https://hsnice16.medium.com/build-and-push-the-docker-image-...

There is one more blog that I have found, that has helped a lot of folks.

Write your own Telegram Wallet bot - https://hsnice16.medium.com/write-your-own-telegram-wallet-b...

I also created a KPI card component that I listed on Gumroad, but sadly it was a flop idea. https://hsnice.gumroad.com/l/pdnbo

And, in the last GitHub streak is coming back - https://github.com/hsnice16 (POV, your org has added your personal GitHub username in the repo)

hsnice16on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

Recently after working as a frontend engineer for more than 2 years, I started doing full-stack, so I am going through the language that my new org uses (they are using GoLang) and trying to understand backend concepts as well.

I am documenting my learning here - https://github.com/hsnice16/golang_learning

My first task was to write a GitHub action to build and push the docker image on AWS ECR. While working on it, I went through a good number of blogs, and also used ChatGPT, and finally raised a PR. So I thought to write a blog on that, you can read it here - https://hsnice16.medium.com/build-and-push-the-docker-image-...

hsnice16on Getting a second job is tough

Looks nice. Let me check. Thanks for sharing it.

hsnice16on How do you folks get notified of comments on your post of Hacker News?

They don't have a built-in notification mechanism; if you missed replying to a comment, you can't even reply to them after a few days. I had posted about selling my project https://techinterviewexp.site/ but I missed the comments and now I can't reply to them.

hsnice16on How do you folks get notified of comments on your post of Hacker News?

Yeah, I also started doing the same.

Because of this, I missed some nice comments on a post I had mentioned about selling my project https://techinterviewexp.site/ And, now I can't reply to them.

hsnice16on Getting a second job is tough

That's why my links were not clickable. Thanks again.

hsnice16on Google made me ruin a perfectly good website (2023)

"I don't have unique content, and/or my content is unoriginal. Or, my content is low quality."

I experienced it myself when I tried adding Google AdSense to https://techinterviewexp.site.

Google folks don't even see what the site is about.

hsnice16on Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
