I get those emails too but they’re always followed by “btw we sell so and so, do you got time for a demo?”

So when someone tells me they like my blog, i’m afraid to respond because they’ll just pitch me in response

Showcasing your projects has gradually become useless too with the proliferation of vibe coded apps.

Where do those shares then go? Are they just gone forever?

Or do they then turnaround and give them to employees?

If its gone forever, then… why? They just bought something and burnt it? Isnt that like a waste of resources?

The stock market, still to this day is a very very strange thing…

Headline should be changed to: The web is full of misinformation. Google is slurping it all into their AI.

Ask HN: Why do people hate using AI so much?

AznHisoka — Mon, 11 May 2026 18:32:13 +0000

Let's ignore the potential job loss implications, and consuming AI-generated content/slop... why do people hate using AI so much? It saves them time with so many things, whether it's writing code, analyzing email, writing emails/content, or just debugging stuff.

I hate stuff like lame AI generated content, or sloppy code generated by AI but again, ignoring the consumption part, and focusing solely on what you do with it: Why do most people hate using it?

I am hacking on an alternative to Builtwith: bloomberry.com. Unlike Builtwith, you can search for companies that use any backend/backoffice product such as Jira/Atlassian, and Github (enterprise/free).

I went into a rabbit hole into how to detect paying Cloudflare customers (for a technographic product I am building in Bloomberry) and wrote up some techniques here.

Response header analysis were a waste of time (Cloudflare returns the same ones no matter what type of customer they are) so I had to resort to analyzing custom error pages, IP ranges, SSL certificates and more

I went deep inside a rabbit hole in trying to discover paying Cloudflare customers (for a technographic I am building in Bloomberry), and wrote up some tactics on how to detect if a conpany is a paying Cloudflare user.

Involves analyzing custom error pages, IP ranges, following redirects, etc.

New comment by AznHisoka in "How to find companies using AWS that want to save costs?"

AznHisoka — Thu, 07 May 2026 19:30:10 +0000

1. You need something called a technographic product to get lists of companies that use a particular technology. Though these products are notorious for having stale data, so make sure you do some cross-checks to ensure it's somewhat accurate (IE. lookup their IPs and see if they're really hosted on AWS). I haven't used Builtwith in awhile, but they're the leader in that category. Bloomberry is another one.

See Builtwith: https://trends.builtwith.com/websitelist/Amazon and Bloomberry: http://bloomberry.com/data/aws/

2. As someone else mentioned in this thread: job postings can be useful. You particularly want to look at job postings that mention AWS AND FinOps. FinOps = basically engineering to save costs for cloud costs. That is a very high signal they're investing in someone who can help them save costs (albeit a lot of job postings these days are fake, so it's not a 100% sure signal)

3. Combine the first 2 methods with headcount data from Linkedin or Cloudflare radar traffic data to find companies that are using AWS and growing the fastest, or having huge traffic spikes. Those are probably highly correlated with the desire to want to reduce AWS costs.
