I love the product but this is a really aggressive price update and makes me concerned they’ll try to gouge me in years to come.

That book is so painful to read because of that lol.

I did frontend before React, and it was a welcomed change. The core insight of UI being a function of state is a good one. It saves you a bunch of headaches from the jQuery days where you’d have multiple code paths per UI element (adding, removing, mutating). That said I think they lost the plot with hooks and things have gotten needlessly complex since then.

After reading Careless People and watching Meta’s metaverse and AI moves, Mark comes across as a child chasing the shiny new thing.

“What kids told us about how to get off cigarettes”

While I agree there’s a problem with how helicopter-y society is with kids these days, I think it’s ridiculous to expect kids to resist a device that is designed to be addictive. Teams of tens of thousands of the most highly skilled people in the world are laser focused on squeezing every second of attention out of _adults_ let alone kids. We need regulation, full stop. I don’t know what that looks like, but if you’ve ever seen a toddler scrolling TikTok like a zombie you should know what’s at stake.

New comment by dyeje in "AccuWeather to discontinue free access to Core Weather API"

I wasn’t justifying the move, just a related thought that came up after seeing a few articles about Neon and Supabase having an explosion of new apps.

I imagine there is a lot of new pressure on public APIs now that there’s an explosion of vibe coded projects accessing them (some probably quite haphazardly).

Why build your own community software? Sounds like a waste of resources, there are many off the shelf and open source alternatives.

Linear is the move. Do not consider Shortcut.

I understand what the author is getting at. It’s really densely written though, I’m hoping the intent is to express the feeling rather than persuade because (as some of the top comments show) I think it comes across antagonistic to that audience.

I think they’re better for most users without a password manager. I don’t see how your mother example would have a better experience with another password to remember.

I've been evaluating AI code review vendors for my org. We've trialed a couple so far. For me, taking the workflow out of GitHub is a deal breaker. I'm trying to speed things along, not upend my whole team's workflow. What's your take on that?

Congrats on shipping. Curious, why Slack? Is this intended for book clubs at companies specifically?

Grew up in the burbs. Downtown has transformed into a fun, walkable, thriving area. Covid took some of the wind out of the sails, but it’s still chugging along. Overall, it’s a good city.

I think the idea is that it’s a forum for programmers and you can probably self serve some solution (whether that’s using a plugin, custom style sheet, making your own, etc).

You’re getting a 100% return on your investment and keeping a piece of equity for upside. I’d say it’s more than fair, it’s generous. You will get diluted over time, same as all the other equity holders, wouldn’t worry about it.

Ask HN: Spending Tracking Tools

dyeje — Sun, 05 Jan 2025 16:35:07 +0000

I’m trying to figure out a budgeting system that works for me. I’ve tried a few that use Plaid integrations but they haven’t been effective for me.

I’m looking for something that will give me daily / weekly notifications of how much I’ve spent. Might end up building it but was curious if there’s anything off the shelf like that.

For B2B, you line up calls and show mockups or clickable prototypes (Figma if you’ve got the skills / budget, Balsamiq or similar otherwise). From there, if it’s compelling enough, you should be able to get a contract signed (wouldn’t bother with LOIs personally).

I played around with this a bit. Doesn’t work amazing on my iPhone model (SE 3rd gen), but it’s pretty cool. I don’t think there’s an API to use it in apps yet, but I would love to make an eye controlled mobile game.
