Indeed. I use Merlin Bird ID all the time. I found it good across many countries.

Ask HN: Where do you find things worth reading?

There’s more good writing and reporting available than ever, but I’m finding it harder to discover the stuff that’s actually worth reading.

What are your goto sources for finding interesting things to read about your interests? Could be websites, newsletters, RSS feeds, blogs, Substacks, authors, apps, or anything else.

A few I check regularly:

- Hacker News

- Rest of World: https://restofworld.org/

- Substack: mostly following individual authors/publications rather than browsing the feed

I’m especially interested in sources that have helped you discover writers or publications you wouldn’t have found otherwise.

What do you read, and how did you find it?

This is so relatable. I was at Heathrow Airport couple of week back. My gate was changed from 24 to 21, I thought it would few mins walking. I was totally wrong and it was in the corner of another dungeon. Took me almost 15+ mins.

I started using Flighty app. This is way more reliable than any airport announcement and monitors.

New comment by bakibab in "Ask HN: AI Depression"

bakibab — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 19:18:54 +0000

I actually opened HN to ask something similar. Thank you for putting this out there. Sadly, people who haven't delivered anything complex genuinely believe this is the end of the programmer role. I'm 43 and went through depression about my place in the industry. It was scary.

Then I decided to build something complex using Claude, and within a week I realized that whoever claims "90% of code is written by LLMs" is not being totally honest, the parts left out from such posts tell a different story: programming is going to get harder, not easier.

The project started great but turned into a large ball of spaghetti. It became really hard to extend, every feature you want to add requires Claude to rearrange large portions of the codebase. Debugging and reading logs are also very expensive tasks. If you don't have a mental model of the codebase, you have to rely on the LLM to read logs and figure things out for you.

Overall, my impression is that we need to use this as just another tool and get proficient at it, instead of thinking it will do everything.

Also, the recent Anthropic partnership with Accenture suggests otherwise [0]. If AI could do it all, why train humans?

So please don't leave the industry. I think it will get worse before it gets better. We need to stick around longer and plan for all this hype period.

One of my friends and I started building a PaaS for a niche tech stack, believing that we could use Claude for all sorts of code generation activities. We thought, if Anthropic and OpenAI are claiming that most of the code is written by LLMs in new product launches, we could start using it too.

Unsurprisingly, we were able to build a demo platform within a few days. But when we started building the actual platform, we realized that the code generated by Claude is hard to extend, and a lot of replanning and reworking needs to be done every time you try to add a major feature.

This brought our confidence level down. We still want to believe that Claude will help in generating code. But I no longer believe that Claude will be able to write complex software on its own.

Now we are treating Claude as a junior person on the team and give it well-defined, specific tasks to complete.

They are trying to fix it using this comment but cancelled mid way. Not sure why.

IMO, OSS works because it is open and free. Most OSS projects use each other. If you are building some OSS project then are you not using other OSS projects? Many contributors will not be able to build if it requires/expects money to use other OSS projects.
