I thought Claude Code _is_ for power users. How much more powerful do you need to be to use this?

Why does the article say that’s useless?

Drawing inspiration from this... has anyone experimented with ways to make their API docs more readable by agents?

New comment by ghiculescu in "Ask HN: How to be alone?"

ghiculescu — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 23:49:05 +0000

You were together all your adult life - you’re not two people anymore, you’re cleaved as one.

And now that’s been severed. It will hurt.

New hobbies and getting your mind off things won’t cut it. If this was a physical injury you wouldn’t recommend someone start a new sport. Your soul is injured.

If the partnership is totally irreconcilable (or if it’s something more tragic, then my condolences) then you just need to accept that and take the time to heal. But is it irreconcilable?

Good luck.

I just bought a refurbished SE. It works great with newest iOS, Liquid Glass, etc. Do it!

Deeply ironic that those who claim to support socialism are so okay with taking from the poor to give to the rich.

New comment by ghiculescu in "Coding agents have replaced every framework I used"

ghiculescu — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 01:21:35 +0000

What happens when humans can’t fix a bug or build an important feature? That is a pretty common scenario, that doesn’t result in the doomsday you imply.

New comment by ghiculescu in "If you're going to vibe code, why not do it in C?"

ghiculescu — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 21:37:10 +0000

Along the same lines, I am rewriting a React Native app into native Swift and Kotlin versions. I haven’t written any of the native code directly - it’s all vibed. It’s not C but there’s a lot of upside in letting Claude Code compile my wishes into native languages and skip the RN layer.

In other words poor people are being forced to subsidize luxury beliefs.

New comment by ghiculescu in "Over-regulation is doubling the cost"

ghiculescu — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 04:14:07 +0000

How do any of the examples you gave keep larger business interests from exploiting and monopolizing markets?

New comment by ghiculescu in "Over-regulation is doubling the cost"

ghiculescu — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 03:07:11 +0000

If the accessibility and hygiene laws can be explained in plain language, why not just write them in plain language?

If labor laws can be automated by software why not just make them simpler?

If you can make a map to explain the permitting process why not just simplify the process?

If you made the regulations less complex and excessive you wouldn’t need to add another layer of bureaucracy to explain them.

New comment by ghiculescu in "Operating Margins"

This is true. Banking is a great example of this.

ghiculescu — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 03:20:14 +0000

This is true. But there’s another side to it too, which is that if the industry was more profitable it would (probably) attract more investment, specifically in the form of new companies.

New comment by ghiculescu in "PSF has withdrawn $1.5M proposal to US Government grant program"

ghiculescu — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 21:58:16 +0000

Reading this you would think the US is the only country in the world. Why can’t any other country - one that’s more politically or ideologically aligned - fund the PSF? It seems odd the gripes about the US government and its ideologies as if there’s no other options.

(Not an American.)

New comment by ghiculescu in "Show HN: 18yo first iOS app: blocks distracting apps and unlocks with QR/barcode"

ghiculescu — Sun, 19 Oct 2025 22:09:15 +0000

I like the QR code idea a lot more than the physical devices you can buy for this. Cool concept.

Did Apple recently make an API for app blocking or something? There seems to have been an explosion in apps for this over the last few years.
