Just wanted to say what an incredible person you are! Catch and Kill and the related reporting was awesome too!

I have been very curious to try Ohm. I'm currently using a hand-rolled parser combinator library, but Ohm looks slick. The online editor is nice too https://ohmjs.org/editor/

I haven't seen anyone talk about AI and its impact on flow yet. It's pretty easy for me to achieve a flow state while coding without AI, but with AI, I'm not so sure. I spend my time managing multiple Claude instances as they work on different tasks, and there's no time to go really deep into anything.

Flow was such a productivity boost for me. Even though Claude definitely helps me finish tasks quicker, I've started wondering how much quicker it actually is, vs getting into flow.

This is very cool. Based on the title, I thought this would end with an example of using this font for code. I'd still be interested in seeing an example of that.

Good idea, but as several comments here suggest, the time when this sort of thing could be taken as satire is gone. I promise you there are multiple people here thinking that this is a good idea. I predict that within a year we will see a service that does exactly this.

This looks super useful, but why hide your identity? There's nothing on the website about who you are and I notice you're using a new HN account.

I subscribed. Awesome idea and execution. Hope I see more apps working to make this stuff more accessible!

I feel like they are often unwanted discards... but we have one and we try to put interesting books in there. Recently gave away my entire Harry Potter series.

Heck yeah, so happy to see Anthropic fighting. This is what real leadership looks like. I'd love to see the same from Google and OpenAI.

So much of Reddit is brain rot now, it's unbelievable. A sample of subreddits: /r/memzy, /r/evilwhenthe, /r/JustMemesForUs.

Seriously, if I was in charge of these companies, I'd shut this shit down. I know it drives clicks, but do we want to live in a world where people consume this garbage? And not just a few people!

Coding agents are good, but once the complexity is high they're not good enough. Eventually your agent won't be able to make changes to your code base without introducing bugs with every change. In my experience, the agents aren't very good with abstractions yet, and no amount of testing can completely paper over that problem. So yes, the industry is changing dramatically and at a breathtaking rate, but I don't think money is the only moat left.

Brilliant. This is like the internet at its peak (to me) where it was all about building neat things and helping people. Just a bunch of engineers saying they are not planning to look away from the Epstein files. More projects like this, please.

Really good to know Handy exists; it's the first I'm hearing about it. I use a speech-to-text app that I built for myself, and I know at least one co-worker pays $10 a month for (I think) Wispr. I think it's possible there was no intention to market, and the creator simply didn't know about Handy, just like me.

Wow, so this was before all the ICE activity in MN blew up. My paranoid brain is wondering what they are doing with the data. Anyone here working on something like this (maybe at a company like Palantir) and willing to tell your story in a throwaway account?
