The post fails to mention that spaceX is not just a rocket company. Bundled with it is xAI, which is presumably losing money hand over fist. Package enough risk together and sell for a higher price to retail consumers. We’ve seen this play…

Biome has been out of alpha for a few years now and is fantastic :-)

I just finished the red rising series this year. Do you have any other recommendations in the same genre?

The ads made this unreadable. Is this a thing? Get to hackernews front page & then inject your post with as many ads as possible to “cash in”?

I’m in the exact same boat. Also toying with the idea of going back to android for the pixel 10 pro. I do miss android notifications and keyboard. Are there any features keeping you from going back?

I want to believe, and I promise I'm not trying to be a luddite here. Has anyone with decent (5+ years) experience built a non-trivial new feature in a production codebase quicker by letting AI write it?

Agents are great at familiarizing me with a new codebase. They're great at debugging because even when they're wrong, they get me thinking about the problem differently so I ultimately get the right solution quicker. I love using it like a super-powered search tool and writing single functions or SQL queries about the size of a unit test. However, reviewing a junior's code ALWAYS takes more time than writing it myself, and I feel like AI quality is typically at the junior level. When it comes to authorship, either I'm prompting it wrong, or the emperor just isn't wearing clothes. How can I become a believer?

Voluntary certification, please. Law is slower than technology. This is a good thing! EnergyStar is a great example of a voluntary program doing more good than DoE or FTC mandates. HIPAA is a good example of what happens when mandates can’t keep up with technology. When it comes to security, we can’t afford another HIPAA.

Personally, I let vscode do typechecking on open files & have a pre-commit git hook to typecheck changed files.

When it comes to starting up a development server & building the client, there's a huge cost to repeatedly typechecking the same 1000+ files. By cutting out typechecking & only compiling, I can reduce the webpack client build from 40 seconds to 3 seconds (using sucrase).

As an app backend guy, it's always fun to dive into infrastructure stuff like this that I know little about. Naively, it looks like they pieced together some K8s alternatives. I saw they wrote about why they moved away from K8s here: https://www.koyeb.com/blog/the-koyeb-serverless-engine-from-....

Usually when blog posts like these come out other K8s practitioners say their K8s was just misconfigured.

Would love to see more opinions from K8s folks on the assumptions & design decisions.

Do pipes make writing good code easier? Yes. Do they make writing bad code easier? Also yes.

The older I get, the more I care about the latter.

This is the first ES6+ proposal that I'm not excited about & I don't know how to voice that concern because it is so subjective.

I built an open-source B2B SaaS that recently raised its Series A. While I'm not a solo founder, we were a team of 3 up until we raised our seed.

The difference I see is traduora looks like a project, not a company. Sell support! Don't give it away for free. If someone asks me for a bugfix, I show them the ticket in our open backlog & tell them if they want it done faster, they have to pay. Seeing their concern turned in to a ticket shows them that I care, but telling them I prioritize paid fixes tells them it's not a charity. Don't let them feel entitled.

We used to blur content behind modals. When the modal animated in, it'd hit single digits fps on a MacBook pro. Ditched it for a more opaque scrim and fps was back at 60.

put redis in front of your graphql server. let the key be the query hash. and the ttl be 30 seconds. if your query has many duplicate lookups (e.g. the same user appears multiple times on the leaderboard) use dataloader.

I LOVE what svelte is doing. I've been using React daily for the last 5 years & it does the job, documentation is world class, community is great, but it still has sharp edges & parts that feel bad. Things like hooks make complicated things look & feel simple, which is great for 80% of my work, but for that other 20% (exit animations, high frequency re-renders, drag-n-drop without HTML5) I do some pretty atrocious things to make it work. This is where svelete shines.

The readme does a good job of pointing out its shortcomings, too. Primarily, no typescript support yet & the unknown bundle size inflection point. As soon as these are solved, I can't imagine it not becoming the best (albeit not most popular) solution.

Some of us put accounts on pause if they've been inactive for 30 days. It's not the norm (yet), but the good PR and happy customers were well worth the extra business logic.

Hooks are absolutely fantastic. However, there are still a few pain points:

- useState with an array is bad news if more than 1 component is consuming or setting the state.The clunky alternative is to keep it in a ref & call a forceUpdate whenever you would normally call your setter

- useCallback doesn't scratch the itch for things like document event listeners since everything inside the callback will be stale. The clunky alternative is a custom useEventCallback that keeps your callback function in a ref. (and that might not work in the upcoming sync mode)

- linter rules can be too strict & the --fix flag can actually cause a break in your app by adding things to the dependency list. Sometimes a useEffect depends on the current value of a ref, but linter says that's a no-no. 2 useCallbacks can be co-dependent, but there's no way to write that co-dependence in the dependency list. Sometimes I want to return null before a hook. The clunky alternative for all these is a bunch of eslint-ignore comments.

Thanks for all your work on this Chris! Great news to kick off the week.

I made this. Neat!

For those that didnt read more than the title, it's database agnostic. It scales vertically and horizontally. It's not a framework, frameworks are dead. Its just a bunch of packages that fit together like Lego pieces.

If you don't need these things (or don't know what they are) don't complicate your life! Get off HN and build something :-)
