The idea here is great and I think it has a lot of legs but I think inherently people will have initial concerns with security.

Do you have plans to only allow reading mail from specific senders, and giving fine-grained control on the API side?

I would like to give this to an AI agent but only initially where I and my team can forward mail to the agent, and not give it the ability to draft and send emails on its own.

In TDD spec is converted to behaviours that can be ran as automated tests so if the logic of the code changes, it breaks the spec and in turn the tests

Whereas documentation can (inevitably) go stale with no feedback or build failures

Don't feel bad about taking time to give yourself more energy in the long run. Go for a walk or jog. Do something you enjoy to help recharge your batteries.

If you plan to continue spending time on personal projects or CV, maybe change your scenery and go to a nice cafe or similar. Maybe coworking spaces or new environments will unlock opportunities to network in ways you haven't thought of.

Keep your mind focused on the end goal and consider each step a learning opportunity.

Also, take this time to do things you might not have had the time to do before: learn a new programming language or tech stack or write that blog post you've been sitting on; you never know what doors this type of thing could open for you.

Best of luck!

I understand your metaphor but I think it's probably a stretch.

Maybe it's better to say the tool has sharp edges that if you aren't familiar with it, can bite you. But with a bit of practise and some knowledge you can master it.

One of the strangest things to infect the web development community was that separation of concerns somehow meant separation of HTML/JS/CSS, which to me always felt like the opposite since very often the HTML, the JS and the CSS were all very much concerned with one another e.g. a React component where the rendered HTML, the logic behind it and how it's styled make sense to live next to one another.

I think it's for this reason you often see those languages split out in code playgrounds. And I also think it's a big part of the initial pushback against css-in-JS libraries such as styled-components or Emotion.

First of all thanks for sharing this!

Secondly, not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but in Safari on macOS there's something odd happening. On the page I see a small '1Password' popup and when I click it, it asks me to to unlock 1Password.

However I don't see any login form on the page and I don't see any other text input fields so I'm not sure why this would be.

I'm sure it's a perfectly innocent bug but it's probably something you want to address otherwise maybe it might put some people off.

Best of luck with the app!

However, bees can see hidden ultraviolet floral patterns that are invisible to us, and those patterns lead the bees to flowers’ nectar.

The article mentions this hidden ultraviolet floral pattern that is invisible to us; but is there a way we can reveal that using UV cameras or similar? I'd love to see this pattern.

It's fascinating to think that flowers might have evolve to optimise themselves to the vision of bees in a way we are completely unaware of with the naked eye.

There’s no need to be harsh. It takes a lot of bravery for people to put things here under the Show HN tag and for all you know this was something that took a lot of effort and hard work to achieve. Maybe you don’t find it useful but others might. If not I’d suggest keep scrolling or give positive or constructive feedback to the OP.
