Hacker News: BoggleFiendhttps://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=BoggleFiendHacker News RSShttps://hnrss.org/hnrss v2.1.1Sat, 02 May 2026 04:19:34 +0000<![CDATA[New comment by BoggleFiend in "I’m joining OpenAI"]]>He was recently interviewed on Pragmatic Engineer, a podcast whose guests almost always have very impressive technical careers (the episode before him was Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec, the VP of Data and Analytics at AWS and the episode after him is Brady Gooch, the Chief Scientist for Software Engineering at IBM)

I agree that summarizing Peter as a "vibe coder" is unfair and disingenuous. The podcast paints his career as being interesting because we went from an impressive software developer, to an entrepreneur, to taking a significant break, to kind of obsessively creating Clawdbot.

In the US, I think it's a lot more common for cyclers to wear helmets. Maybe that comes with a fear of getting clobbered by a car.

Were the peels organic, or do the pesticides naturally degrade in a harmless way?

"fox" and "beta" both led to a small shake, which as a user I would think indicates they are not words in the English language. "Flowery" returned a definition of: "full of, re­sem­bling, or smelling of flow­ers—e.g., a flow­ery meadow, flow­ery wall­pa­per"

This app appears to be a limited but somewhat artsy front-end for an (incomplete) dictionary
