It’s had horrific uptime, to the point of hitting 88.x uptime percentage.

This is likely on the back of Mitchell Hashimoto (Hashicorp founder) announcing he’s moving off of Github as well.

And really just years of Github feeling inconsistent, bad UX, no good solutions for open source developers in terms of AI spam etc.

I wonder if anyone from HN would be willing to input their opinion into some features I'm building, which is really outputting LLM generated writing.

It's basically automating release notes and sprint summary's from existing systems like Jira and Linear. The target user is a product team, the target reader are business stakeholders who want to validate your existence. I've found this process to be stupidly time consuming for both our delivery manager, and whichever Dev they decide to tap on the shoulder to help contextualize tickets.

I feel like LLM's are a really good _summarizer_ and it can easily highlight if your tickets don't have enough context for actual people, if even an LLM can't write a summary with good enough context.

Idk, maybe it's a sensible usecase because you REALLY don't want novel ideas from the LLM in this case. You want it to tell you 1:1 what you did this sprint based on a list of issues.

Interesting... I built an MCP server for their initial browser render as markdown, and I just tell the LLM to follow reasonable links to relative content, and recurse the tool.

This is really good!

After they ditched there free tier, it became basically untenable to justify trying Planetscale for $30 (USD as well) on a POC or MVP product, and it also felt like you were paying a lot for unneeded hardware.

I went backpacking last year for only a little over a month. Absolute pain in my chest when someone who I'd gotten to known over the past few days said it was their last day lol.

I think about it like this...

Fundamentally, I believe it's how they want to be treated culturally, but in our society, we tie gender and sex so closely together, that to be treated the way you want to be treated culturally in society, you need to change some of the sex based features you have.

In a better society, a medical approach wouldn't be needed. In our society, we _should_ accept that it is.

That's my opinion, and it's a pretty weakly held opinion, someone could dissuade me from it.

Bought a new Macbook recently and tried most of these. Ghostty seems really good. It _just works_. Helix is pretty cool, also feels like it _just works_ versus something like base nvim (although I'd start with kickstart.nvim). Maybe I should give Fish a go.

Zed's pretty much fully replaced VSCode on my Macbook, but that's not new, it's been my daily driver for months.

An honorable mention from me is Zellij. Feels a lot more user friendly to beginners than tmux.

Agreed. I think I saw it on twitter, quick squiz of the first couple points and then closed it. Was surprised to see it on HN.

Even modern currency isn't free of being a market for speculation.

It's not as extreme as cryptocurrency, but forex trading is a thing, and honestly the sways of USD to other currencies are meaninful enough to take into consideration when moving money internationally.

The new Dom stuff looks really cool. I had to work with the previous functions a couple months ago and it was terrible. New API looks nice.

Ah it's definitely not (significantly cheaper than ElevenLabs), but I was expecting ElevenLabs to be better because I hadn't read (or seen anything suggesting) it was a worse model, but it makes sense.
