As a kid, I could type their URL from muscle memory with my eyes closed - that’s how much I loved this site.

Good times.

That was a lot of fun. Brought back some nostalgia :)

Yup - In the end, it’s still just a tool that adheres to the steering (or lack thereof) of the user.

Agreed. Projects like these tend to feel shortsighted.

Lately, I lean towards keeping a vanilla setup until I’m convinced the new thing will last beyond being a fad (and not subsumed by AI lab) or beyond being just for niche use cases.

For example, I still have never used worktrees and I barely use MCPs. But, skills, I love.

Yeah, anyone who’s used LLMs for a while would know that this conversation is a lost cause and the only option is to start fresh.

But, a common failure mode for those that are new to using LLMs, or use it very infrequently, is that they will try to salvage this conversation and continue it.

What they don’t understand is that this exchange has permanently rotted the context and will rear its head in ugly ways the longer the conversation goes.

Well, imagine this was controlling a weapon.

“Should I eliminate the target?”

“no”

“Got it! Taking aim and firing now.”

This is cool! Nice work OP.

There’s something about seeing it as chat messages that makes it feel more tangible.

This is such a scary, dystopian thought. Straight out of a sci fi novel

This is a Black Mirror episode that writes itself lol

I’m glad there was closure to this whole fiasco in the end

Happy New Year from New York City!!

For the few that find this acceptable (or even celebrate this), then they must also be able to say:

“If I say something that someone doesn’t like, then they are justified in killing me.”

And accept it.

Ironically, I ignored Apple’s Reminders app as an options for years. It’s now my daily operating system. Lots of simple table-stakes features out of the box that elevate the experience above just using a simple Notes app

I've been inspired by folks like Pat Walls [0] to write everyday in 2021.

Three big reasons being that:

- I want to get all my good ideas out of my head - I want to get all my bad ideas out of my head - It builds people's trust in my character

The internet is already 1-dimensional. So being able to interact with the thoughts of someone adds more dimensions to that person for you. And I want to be more than some pixels on a screen.

Edit:

Patio11 was another inspiration for sure. Dude's writings are legendary.

Probably my favorite blog post of 2020.

Definitely top 5.

Hope you all enjoy it.

Hi HN,

Personally, I created PM News to learn from the best.

I’m 21 and I love building products. I’ve made a few.[0]

I even started a popular newsletter [1] about making products.

Over time, I noticed that many of my readers wanted career advice to help them along their product career.

So I thought, “why not just create a place with the best product career advice on the web?”

PM News allows me to help those that want to advance in their career.

It also gives me an excuse to have conversations with some of the best product people in the biz like Chris Messina. And Brian Norgard (fingers crossed).

This is designed for people already in their career that want insights to advance further.

Hope you all find it useful :)

I felt shitty this afternoon.

Kept comparing myself to much more successful Tech Twitter folks. So, I asked myself, "Why?"

One self-meditation session later, and this Twitter thread was born.

I think I killed my ego with this one.

I hope you all find it helpful too :)

Thanks man. That's a good point. I'll add that in

I created Product Checklist because over my time of learning how to build products, I've found many super useful articles, tweets, and tools.

I want to make it easier for others to find these resources.

I broke up these resources based on the different stages of building products: Thinking up ideas, building the product, etc.

I took a lot of inspo from Checklist Design [1] by George Hatzis [2].

So yeah, It's good looking site so I hope you take a look and find it useful.

Also, there's still lots I can add to it. So if you have any recommendations, leave a comment.

Hey all, I'm starting this tech news newsletter. I pick 5-10 stories from across the web then I write little snippets for each one. Then I send it to you every morning, Eastern time.

I want to save people time everyday. And give you a bit of joy in your inbox :)

Any feedback is appreciated.

This looks pretty dope

Hey folks on HN,

I know there are some smarter cookies than me on here.

If you think I missed a tip or that a tip is simply wacky, then let me know in the comments.

Thanks kind sirs and madames :)

This is a power move by TikTok.

They’re looking for new ways to capitalize of the attention they have on the platform.

Does anyone give a fuck that they’re run by the Chinese government though?

In this post, I thought of a few famous second order effects in tech.

For example,

In 2016, they remove headphone jack.

1st Order: Frustrating UX

2nd Order: Airpods are a ~$200B business

Anyone here know of any other good ones?

hey HN, so I put together best practices for designing data-driven, enterprise apps.

I tried to be as complete as I could, but I may have missed a good point or two.

So, if you have experience building enterprise apps and have your own additional insights, then I'd love to hear it :)

Hey HN, writer of the tweet here.

Although I did a good amount of googling, I'm almost certain that I missed a couple best practices. Anyone else know a few more good ones?

Using these to write an issue for my product newsletter.

Thanks in advance :)

Super fun take on spatial software with video calling. But made me kind of uncomfortable haha

Also, I'd try to make it easy for a person to leave the chat room. Couldn't find an exit. Not good UX

I'm sure you'll improve it along the way. Good stuff :)

Thanks!

Hahah, that’s the spirit!
