I organise events as well and I'm wondering if you ever charged for them. I used to do them for free but so many people signed up and didn't attend later that it was hard to put numbers to book a venue to meet. How did you solve this?

I think many engineers in HN have an attitude of "I need this app to do X". I usually consider that a convenience, not a real need. Otherwise, they would be searching for the actual tool solving their X and wouldn't stop until finding it

Taken that my definition of "need" is pretty strict, but I don't think the world needs more tech, lately.

I'm curious, would you be fine with the AI influencers showcasing your product?

> He's holding the guy verbally hostage just to manipulate dumb viewers.

Why? The other person can say "Yes". That doesn't mean ChatGPT has the capability to do it?

> coding is the prime use case for this where you can make money

Which makes me wonder... what's the business model long-term of AI generated art places?

I'll admit that I wore them less than indicated (but always at night) and doesn't seem to make much of a difference?

Yes! I don't know about employers or how they would perceived vibecoding but personally I find awesome to have a single place where to show all the experiments I made and I thought other people would like that as well.

Keen to see what you are you building!

Hi! The categories are edited from the profile edit page. Then you can add them to projects.

Need to fix that as it not obvious UX-wise. Will give it some thoughts. Thanks for trying it!

Over the last months, more people are shipping small apps, experiments, and side-projects at a much higher pace. I'm one of them and initially created a showcase page for myself to track them but this week decided to create something for others.

Happy to read feedback on how to improve it further!

You don't need to understand how neurons work in detail to be able to use them to do something. In the past, we were able to use electricity for various purposes without knowing about electrons.

What's the point of going through the recruiter markup?

I vibecoded a clone of HN, for philosophical topics, which I'm very fond of. However, I have done a terrible job of marketing it, so that is still on my list: http://forum.philosofriends.com

Right now is basically a repository of philosophy-related links I find interesting, but it would be awesome to find a way to start generating philosophical discussions of the quality I find in HN for tech/AI

> They made him do it again and he passed

I'd assume that if he got a call from Patrick himself and a second opportunity to get interviewed, that's already a cue for interviewers to pass him regardless of what he says?
