mkoryak··on Show HN: Turn Markdown into React/Svelte/Vue UI at runtime, zero build step
What enterprise uses a free open source github project to make bespoke toy html from markdown?

"It won't scale" is how over engineered code gets written

mkoryak··on Show HN: Clearcam – Add AI object detection to your IP CCTV cameras
I see this is clearcam. What is clearam? The readme mentions it a few times so it's probably not a typo.
mkoryak··on AI doesn't lighten the burden of mastery
I find that AI is really good at the easy stuff like writing tests for simple class without too many dependencies that we have all written hundreds of times.

Things go wrong as soon as I ask the AI to write something that I don't fully grasp, like some canvas code that involves choosing control points and clipping curves.

I currently use AI as a tool that writes code I could write myself. AI does it faster.

If I need to solve a problem in a domain that I haven't mastered, I never let the AI drive. I might ask some questions, but only if I can be sure that I'll be able to spot an incorrect hallucinated answer.

I've had pretty good luck asking AI to write code to exacting specifications, though at some point it's faster to just do it yourself

mkoryak··on Show HN: An endless feed with history, science, tech., business
Ok, I tried to read something, also on mobile. It's not really possible to scroll one screen at a time, which makes reading anything really hard.
mkoryak··on Show HN: An endless feed with history, science, tech., business
Seeing only one item at a time(on Mobile) is deal breaker for me. I don't know what other stuff is in the feed, and there is no way to easily know without scrolling through a bunch of stuff I probably don't care about.

The images don't really add much for me. I look at the title to decide if this is something I want to read about.

Maybe there is a way to turn off this one thing at a time, but I didn't stick around to find it.

Good luck, it's looking polished and works nicely

mkoryak··on Don't animate height
Ok, I want to add a pencil icon here, the pencil should be #ccc, here is #ddd, there is rebeccapurple, and over here it should be the same color as the container color.

Please write a nodejs server that produces those tiny images, don't forgot to correctly set the caching headers...

mkoryak··on Show HN: I built AI agents with CrewAI to automate my entire Gmail workflow
Gchat ftw!

Or has it been renamed again?

mkoryak··on Show HN: I built AI agents with CrewAI to automate my entire Gmail workflow
Yes, I know that this is what happens which is why I am upfront about it. If they hate it, they can tell me, I won't take it personally.

I like to think that I use the time saved not reading email to help those teammates and managers get actual shit done.

mkoryak··on Show HN: I built AI agents with CrewAI to automate my entire Gmail workflow
Or just never empty it. Who cares?
mkoryak··on Show HN: I built AI agents with CrewAI to automate my entire Gmail workflow
I am a swe at Google, and before that I worked at startups and large companies.

I'm pretty upfront that I only check my email once per week and that they should find me on chat.

Of course I make exceptions sometimes for certain things, but those exceptions don't turn into a lasting disciplined email routine

mkoryak··on Show HN: I built AI agents with CrewAI to automate my entire Gmail workflow
I just don't read email. It hasn't gotten me fired or anything in 20 years. Maybe I would be getting paid more if I read them, but I highly doubt it

What does this mean? A better vaccine?

They wrote their own because it's more fun to do that, and also because they really wanted me to win. The computer is really really bad

Nice, the $ logo is a 22.5kb 375x372 avif file resized to 48x48. That is efficient!
mkoryak··on Show HN: Kate's App
That, and also let me tell you about a thing called margins. They help text not run into the edges of the screen.

I don't blame you for not using them though since evidently you never looked at your page on mobile ;)
