mstipetic··on Claude Opus 5
Oh come on
mstipetic··on Datasette Apps: Host custom HTML applications inside Datasette
Did you have a look at https://evidence.dev
mstipetic··on I still prefer MCP over skills
Also resources - which are by far the coolest part of MCP. Prompts? Elicitation? Resource templates? If you think of MCP as only a replacement for tool calls I can see the argument but it's much more than that.
mstipetic··on Paralleltext.app – Learn Languages by Reading
I'll see if I can find books that are formatted well. Probably LLMs can help me with that
mstipetic··on Paralleltext.app – Learn Languages by Reading
A few years ago I built a weekend project (paralleltext.io) which was fairly popular, even here on HN, but sadly I let the domain expire and was just sitting on my github. I finally took the time to revive it using Claude, with a few improvements for mobile experience. I've been getting occasional questions as to what happened to the project, so here's the revived version, hope you find it useful
mstipetic··on Kagi is contemplating the removal of the assistant from its professional tier
The research assistant should be able to generate images
mstipetic··on Wired headphone sales are exploding
Oh yes, Europe bad, regulation bad. Maybe add some nuance to your thinking.
mstipetic··on What canceled my Go context?
Golang returning tuples but not having pattern matching is something I'll never get. I really feel it's a too dumbed down version of erlang/elixir, especially with this context passing business
mstipetic··on Zulip.com Values
Replying to myself because I'm sure someone from Zulip will read this thread: I also wish for a tiered channel system. Instead of muting some, I'd like to promote some to high priority, so my inbox can toggle between the ones I really care about and a general overview.
mstipetic··on Zulip.com Values
I’ve started working at a company that uses Zulip and it’s by far the best thought out UX I’ve ever worked with in a communications app. Sure there’s some polish needed but the general structure just lets me get to where I want, gives me an overview of everything going on, and generally makes me happy. I wish for more keyboard shortcuts maybe, and the mobile app needs the recent conversations view, but I’m sure they’ll get there.
mstipetic··on The Codex App
How is a fact that someone did something proof that it isn’t hard?
mstipetic··on Radboud University selects Fairphone as standard smartphone for employees
I do that but I also feel kinda bad since I feel I’m taking it instead of someone else who’s more budget constrained than me
mstipetic··on Ask HN: How have you or your firm made money with LLMs?
I wonder how the new ai gmail features will affect email marketing
mstipetic··on How to Debug Your Life
I love this article. Simple way to express things that in hindsight should be obvious and very actionable. Thank you.

mstipetic··on AI is a business model stress test
So hide the class list if you don’t want to see it
mstipetic··on MCP is a fad
Sorry but disagree. For me the main part is the resources, which automatically get mounted in the computing environment, bypassing a whole class of problems with having LLMs work with a large amount of data.

I found it a common misconception so I wrote about it here https://goto-code.com/dont-sleep-on-mcp/

mstipetic··on 65% of Hacker News posts have negative sentiment, and they outperform
I think often times they’re not wrong but then again what do I do with this constant barrage of cynicism, can’t change much anyway
mstipetic··on 65% of Hacker News posts have negative sentiment, and they outperform
There’s a lot of pedantry as well
mstipetic··on 65% of Hacker News posts have negative sentiment, and they outperform
As someone who’s on Reddit a lot, I completely agree
mstipetic··on Go away Python
The term "full stack" has a widely well understood meaning, you're being pedantic
mstipetic··on Go away Python
Don't be that guy.
mstipetic··on Hashcards: A plain-text spaced repetition system
Yes! I have a whole blog post in the works about how they make an awesome LLM memory layer.
mstipetic··on Hashcards: A plain-text spaced repetition system
I wish more people knew about GNU recutils instead of inventing new formats
mstipetic··on Warner Bros Begins Exclusive Deal Talks With Netflix
Making money is the only important measure of quality. Because hes a billionaire, Mr. Beast is our generations best filmmaker
mstipetic··on Trillions spent and big software projects are still failing
I was so annoyed when I found out the OTP library and realized we’ve been reinventing things for 20+ years
mstipetic··on AI World Clocks
GPT-5 is embarrassing itself. Kimi and DeepSeek are very consistently good. Wild that you can just download these models.
mstipetic··on Ask HN: Is building for the web even worth it now?
I've been on some weird path of discovery of the internet and am loving it. Generating my own ambient sounds for work from freesound.org. Finding internet radio stations to stream. Music from bandcamp and https://www.nts.live/. Rediscovering RSS and building my own tooling on top of it. You just have to be deliberate and step away from the convenience of big aggregators and algorithms and there's a whole wonderful world out there.
mstipetic··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
I’m sorry, which one?
mstipetic··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
Not good! I personally use it with my wife but getting people to try it online seems to be very tricky to do. Seems like there's a big trust hurdle to overcome.
