Apparently some of the tweets are talking about marking offshore workers with AI. So best of both worlds.

Ask HN: 100k/year individual token usage?

alecsmart1 — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 05:58:06 +0000

I was watching the all in podcast where they are talking about devs spending $300/day on LLM tokens. I’m only able to do about $2k per month, that too on the high end, if I’m programming for 14 hours a day every day.

Is anyone spending that many tokens? How? What exactly are you’ll doing?

Ask HN: Data analytics for multi-schema MySQL DB

alecsmart1 — Fri, 13 Mar 2020 13:39:52 +0000

Hi there! We have a multi schema MySQL 8.0 DB (on RDS). Long story short, we dynamically create a separate schema for each customer. All schemas have the same tables and structure.

I’m looking for a tool similar to Chartio which can run an aggregate query across all our schemas.

Any suggestions?

Ask HN: Tool for converting GitHub files to HTML docs

alecsmart1 — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 10:08:52 +0000

I want to manage docs on GitHub like how Auth0 does it.

https://github.com/auth0/docs

Gets converted to:

https://auth0.com/docs

Would you know the tool they use or can you suggest a tool which can achieve this rather seamlessly (ideally with a docs type theme)?

I don’t want to use Gitbook as they force to host on a separate sub domain. It’s fine if it’s a paid solution.

New comment by alecsmart1 in "Show HN: HelloDigest – Digest newsletters and receive them a single email"

alecsmart1 — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 07:31:17 +0000

I created this tool because I get a lot of newsletters (& drip emails) every day and it is very time consuming to go through each and every email. Moreover, these emails come in at ad-hoc timings and distract my daily workflow. However, I would still like to glance over these emails so that I don't miss any important update (product updates, offers etc.).

With HelloDigest, I simply digest the emails once directly from Gmail and then it sends me a single email every morning at 9am (my timezone) with all new emails in the last 24 hours.

Do try it out and let me know your feedback. I hope you find it as useful as I do.

New comment by alecsmart1 in "Updates to our Google Voice apps"

alecsmart1 — Mon, 23 Jan 2017 18:59:41 +0000

Am very confused. Only after reading the comments I've realised that you can link Google Voice to Hangouts and answer calls there. Till now I had no idea how to answer calls on iOS as the Google Voice iOS app is of no use. I wish there was a clear strategy and use case for each messaging app available from Google.

Can you let us know about your MVP? A website? Maybe then we can tell you more.

This is off topic, but I can't find any pricing on the candyjapan.com website when visiting on mobile (iPhone). Anyone can tell me how much it costs per month?

This is 100% untrue. 99.9% of the population has no idea who Sundar Pichai is. There are absolutely no billboards or advertisements about him.

Ask HN: Any service which provides latest apps added to the Google/Apple stores?

alecsmart1 — Sun, 17 Jul 2016 14:20:44 +0000

I am looking for a simple service which provides a list of the latest apps added to the Google Play and iTunes App Store. I remember there was some company offering the latest 500 apps every month in a sheet format but am unable to find the link for it. I know Apple has an RSS feed, but am looking at not just top apps but just all apps being added. Any help will be appreciated.

There is a very nice documentary if anyone wants to hear from the actual game developer - http://m.imdb.com/title/tt3715406/

It's on Netflix as well.
