skrid··on Show HN: OneDollarChat – Global chat where messages cost $1
Good catch - spam removed. We're adding better moderation for links going forward.
skrid··on I tracked my coding time for a month. I only debug 2% of the time
Always felt like I was 'just fixing bugs all day'.

The data says otherwise. Built some charts to visualize the perception vs reality gap.

skrid··on Ask HN: Claude Code vs. Just Claude
You’re basically missing out on not having to copy/paste. It’s great.
skrid··on Show HN: VS Code extension revealed I only code 51% of my 'deep work' time
tracked my coding sessions for a week. only actually wrote code 51% of the time.

built this as a vs code extension - tracks lines changed, languages used, debug time. intentionally session-based (not always-on) because i wanted to measure my "deep work" blocks specifically.

tech: vs code extension api, next.js, supabase realtime, typescript.

biggest surprise: my 9pm "peak productivity" sessions were 23% coding. morning sessions i thought were slow: 67% active.

happy to answer questions about implementation or the harsh reality of measuring actual productivity.
