rishi_devanon Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)

Code snippets in a blog-post should use special formatting and syntax highlighting, so as to distinguish it from the rest of the text

rishi_devanon YouTube launches TikTok competitor, Shorts

But the content creators with the most subscribers and the most views are the ones with longer, well produced videos. Not sure if people who come to the site to consume longer videos will appreciate 15-second short videos as well
