Ask HN: iPhone 17 buggy for anyone else?

escot — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 21:08:29 +0000

From slow responses to taps,janky UI artifacts, weird animations that dont quite match up. Tapping on a photo in messages has an obvious half second delay before it opens.

I upgraded from an old XS and this doesnt feel any snappier.

Possibly its just bugs in the new OS that need to be ironed out?

Ask HN: What is the most impressive test suite youve ever worked with

escot — Mon, 19 May 2025 11:30:56 +0000

Did it have near 100% coverage or did it make tradeoffs on what to test?

Did it include UI tests which are notoriously difficult, and if so how did it handle issues like timeouts and the async nature of UI?

Did it have rigid separation of concepts between unit vs integration tests etc, or more fluid?

Could you refactor internal code without changing tests — the holy grail.

In a good work environment you’ll have some telepathy with your product people and you wont have to communicate every minor change, which wastes time. Its similar to implementing a UI design — you and the designer will develop a relationship where you dont need to communicate every pixel, you fill in the blanks and show results, repeat.

I was thinking one server and just for job seekers. Like a support group for people looking for tech jobs.

Maybe there could be channels per role/level, like #backend-senior, #ml-junior. So you could discuss hiring process and get tips from people looking for similar roles.

It would be a slack instance for people seeking tech jobs, so we could have channels like #backend-senior and #frontend-junior etc where you can discuss tips for interviewing, practice questions, etc.

Ask HN: Slack Community for Job Seekers?

escot — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 17:15:58 +0000

When Ive been job searching I’ve thought it would be nice to discuss the process, what to study, etc with other job seekers in the same industry. There could be channels based on role, level etc.

If you think you’d be interested, message me (below) or drop your info here.

Very cool. It would be great to have auto complete across cells.
