“Hi thank you for Claude Code even though you nerfed the subscriptions, btw can I get red text instead of green?”

Listen am not a conspiracy theorist. But haven’t we done this before? If so, why does it seem like we haven’t?

We already know how to do this, right? Right!?

I am genuinely curious.

I like the overall message of this since I can deeply relate.

I have been looking for meaningful work since I was 18, started in sales went on to marketing and ended up in engineering as a data scientist.

Even though I feel closer than ever I still feel that I am not where I am suppose to be. One of my biggest problem is having to many options, to many callings. And they constantly keep changing, and perhaps that’s normal.

It’s easy and dangerous to get stuck in the idea or quest of finding the ultimate purpose and try to translate that into actual work.

”it's by repeatedly forcing you to confront the results of your own mistakes”

Damn, that’s powerful.

As a generalist and hard worker I feel your pain. You need to recharge your batteries and stop defining yourself through work. Motivation will slowly come back and statically your next project will be even more likely to succeed.

You can always pivot in the future, success is not a straight line.

Take care.

This is a nightmare of a PR for Salesforce / slack. I guess someone did not do their due diligence before reaching out and informing you about the price hike.

After moving to a new city I desperately need this in my life. Something like omegle but more serious.

I would like to do that but I live in Sweden, talking to stranger is considered rude. Would be cool if there were a serious version of those random cam chats like omegle.

Show HN: AutoSERP.dev – Search the Web with AI

hackboyfly — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 14:24:39 +0000

Hi fellow humans (and bots),

I recently found myself drowning in manual research on Google. While OpenAI’s ChatGPT Search feature showed promise, there’s no API for it and no indication that one is coming soon. Perplexity didn’t quite meet my needs either.

To solve this, I created a service that integrates Google search with ChatGPT. It uses headless browser automation and API requests to fetch search results and extract structured data from each page based on specific instructions.

This is an API-first solution, built for developers who want to programmatically automate search and data extraction in their own workflows.

You can also try it out directly using the search widget on the first page.
