I fail to see how this is specific to a crypto company. You’re drawing a correlation that’s not backed up by any empirical evidence.
The GP post describes a common problem in _most_ workplaces in the market today. It’s not specific to crypto, AI, or anything in between.
Sorry but it’s not really an opinion for you to contest it, it’s a well defined guideline of what makes a Show HN post vs a normal link share. If the OP wants to add commentary to their submission they could use “Tell HN” or simply point at the actual blog post and write a comment.
It started out as a take-home assignment for a job I’m interviewing for (they asked for about 10% of what I ended up implementing but I wanted to do/show more :). It’s an aggregator for crypto exchange data.
The app reads the public data stream from exchanges, handles the nitty, gritty details of each exchange’s websocket connections, deals with its quirks, cleans up and normalizes the data into a uniform structure (currently only supporting spot trades) then exposes it downstream as an SSE stream.
Uses Go, Templ, and Mithril.js, and is open source

The post links to an Anthropic announcement, on their own website. Not sure what are you expecting from the title?
What’s Cluely? While I can google and find out I just wanted to reflect how irrelevant that name actually is for a large portion of the internet.
Flamewars, internet jerks and online bullying has been around since irc. If not longer.
imo looking at the thread, I see a bunch of people throwing a few strongly worded comments at each other in a typical heated discussion online.
We used to call this flamewars.
There’s a great deal of value in the “fullstack meta-frameworks” model of things. For one, using the same language on the backend and frontend is underrated feature.
But Next.js is not the only option on the market, so I partially echo your sentiment, not around React SPA vs React fullstack, but around Next.js vs a half dozen better alternatives for the React ecosystem.
The takeaway is that most people don’t think this way. A large portion of online recommendations for auth in Nextjs recommends middlewares for it. Knowing this, you’d expect a faster response time from the people maintaining the framework and stand to lose the most.
Thank you so much for the feedback
Yeah that's true, it's targeting marketers. I will try to look into giving examples, maybe show casing two social posts side by side, one before and one after.
Thanks again!
Hey, thanks! That was terrible, something broke between deployments. Really sorry for that.
And thank you for trying it nonetheless!
Do you perhaps have any more feedback? I'd be grateful.
Is the copy message on the home page clear, does it communicate the intention correctly?
I suppose you could do that, but I reckon their main selling point is convenience. Same argument can be made for any cloud hosting service.
Why not just buy a VPS and set it up yourself, it's just more convenient for some people.
I see no reason for your comment, specially when the guidelines are clear about these types of contributions.

And similar to Snitch[1] except Snitch doesn't seem to have launched yet.
We've been dealing with Linode for well over 3 years now without any issues. Their support is great and their pricing is imho just about right.
We also tried Webbynode in their very early days, I just checked their website now and things seem to have greatly changed for them so that's another option.
I'm not so sure about your pricing requirements though, quite frankly I was a bit surprised when I first checked out DO, having such a low pricing point. So I don't believe you'd find another vps of the same quality with such pricing but you could always check at http://lowendbox.com/
Good luck.
Thanks a lot for the insight.
Seems very difficult to at the very least have a set of restricted words reserved for special purposes

A resignation is one option. If the act was carried out with approval of the share holders and/or investors (though I doubt any decent investor would condone such behavior) then you have two options:
- depending on the severity of the action, this is identity theft and punishable by law. If you have indicting proof, report it
- if it poses harm to your career in anyway, think of your family and usually the safest route is to resign
If it was carried out without approval, report the employee.
But by all means, don't turn a blind eye at it unless you really have to.
There is a funny thing about corruption, it's the same every where. Nothing would be special or particularly harmless about it be it in a startup or a larger organization.
Best of luck
Even better, get a designer as a co-founder. Specially for startups bootstrapping.
Really good designers are hard to find/likely already occupied or juggling multiple projects at a time. IMHO, design is a never ending process.
You'll hire a good designer if you get lucky at your early days but then retaining them becomes exceptionally hard. I've found that having them onboard as a co-founder seems to be the best way to work through this.
Skimming is a helpful reading skill. But personally I usually tend to wait for a thread to mature enough, it weeds out the noise from the signal.
Congratulations on launching this. Looks neat.
A software as a service business is more concerned about the software you offer as a service not the software you use.

Like your comment whining and attacking him is an even better example of that kind of commenting, just like my comment here.
We could say that we just filled up useless space on this thread or we could simply call it a discussion, two individuals exchanging opinions.
Sorry about your unfortunate situation. Hope things turn out well for you.
Strongly questioning business strategies of your employer is usually a red flag for most employers. Cowboying projects despite disapproval of your proposed strategy pivot or direction is a deal breaker for a lot. Specially if it's a consistent behaviour.
IMO, references are one of the most important aspects of your career. From the looks of it, it appears if your future employer does a thorough reference check, they'll likely get skeptical about hiring you.
Being a team player is not playing B-league office politics. Most of us at some point of our careers, didn't agree with our employer's business strategies and anyone who loved their work would have very likely voiced that loudly at some point. Depending on the work environment's culture, sometimes their voices would be heard and other times they'd be shun.
To each their place in the organization hierarchy and you should be humble enough to respect that. If you are not comfortable with the company's direction, or business practices then you could always look for another job.
So I don't know about the economy state there, whether jobs are plentiful or scarce, in Egypt our job market is dry. So if it's hard to get a decent job in SF, I suggest that you suck up whatever problems you have at your future job as long it serves your needs of putting food on the table and saving up for some future endeavour.
With regards to starting a company at 29 or later, I don't see a reason to worry about that. Majority of us truly reach our prime success at around mid 30s, disregard the young and fortunate you keep hearing about everywhere in the valley.
But if starting your own business is your passion and the eventual route you want to take, then maybe you should give it a try now.
TL;DR.
- Voice your opinion, be respectful, remember your place (that's one of the cons to working for someone) and don't be a fork in someone's back
- It's not too late to build a startup at 29
- You got pretty much nothing to lose now, so why don't you try building a startup now.

Everyone's an asshole to someone at some point about some thing. It's simply a matter of perception and unmet expectations.
You expect something from someone for which ever your reason might be and what ever their relationship to you could be. That expectation is unmet and you'll most likely think of them as assholes.
Some consider it profanity. It doesn't bother me reading a post with a few s' or f' words. I myself tend when the point I'm making calls for it to write a few.
However, some really go over the top and it becomes irritating to read either both ways whether it's spelled out or masqueraded. So I guess it's a personal preference.
The title does state that it's Winamp music visualisation.
Audio visualisation/winamp-like/winamp/take your pick, it's still a cool experiment. I'm digging the music choice too.
I'm inclined to agree with you, I'm not saying writing code isn't an artistically creative process.
If I'm are hiring an engineer, the last thing I'll consider is how well is their code because that can be enhanced (albeit to a certain level, as per pionar's comment which I also agree with)
If you are hiring a designer, then that's likely the main aspect you'll be looking at, how beautiful/creative their work/solutions are.
Hiring a designer is so much different than hiring a software engineer. And the process of designing should be the least of your worries.
Design is an artistically creative process. Takes talent, I wouldn't hire a designer if I don't perceive the work they've made as beautiful.
But hiring an engineer, there are certain things you can overlook in favour of their capacity to actually build something. I can overlook their code quality, but only because we have a boarding process in which one of the things we make sure a new engineer understands is our quality standard in writing code, the systems we use to enforce that standard from code reviews to pre-commit hooks and lint checking.
An engineer has the capacity to adapt to these changes of both quality and process.
IMHO, you can't teach a designer who isn't talented how to make beautiful things. Albeit beauty is subjective, but there's still a common ground upon which the majority will perceive this piece of art work as beautiful.
