As someone who helps run another volunteer tech nonprofit that relies on slack, is there a reason they kicked you off the free nonprofit plan? Asking to have a good backup plan for our community.

New comment by infinitebattery in "Cloudlflare builds OAuth with Claude and publishes all the prompts"

infinitebattery — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 15:11:10 +0000

From this commit: https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-oauth-provider/commit/...

===

"Fix Claude's bug manually. Claude had a bug in the previous commit. I prompted it multiple times to fix the bug but it kept doing the wrong thing.

So this change is manually written by a human.

I also extended the README to discuss the OAuth 2.1 spec problem."

===

This is super relatable to my experience trying to use these AI tools. They can get halfway there and then struggle immensely.

Ask HN: Starting career at a small or large company?

infinitebattery — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 22:25:34 +0000

Hello Hacker News! I'm a senior in a small midwestern college studying computer science, deciding where I want to go for my last internship (likely where I will end up full time).

I know a lot of software engineers browse HN and I wanted to crowdsource advice. My career goal is to be a senior software engineer / engineering manager in 5-10 years from now. I'm facing two choices - one is a small company (~50 employees) in the financial media space. The other is a large N-tier bank (think Chase, BOA, C1).

I think this comes down to the tradeoffs between large companies and small companies. Being specific to starting careers, do you think one is better than the other?

New comment by infinitebattery in "Show HN: Hack Club Bank – A Bank for Student Hackers"

infinitebattery — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 20:48:18 +0000

A college hackathon organizer here (and former high school hackathon organizer). This is so useful. Dealing with high school/university administration takes up an incredible amount of time. When it came to reimbursements, my university took months to pay back student organizers who paid out of their own pocket to buy last minute items.

This is so great. As someone who used to run a Hack Club, it's so exciting to see this (would have solved a lot of problems for me back in high school).

Out of curiosity, are there ever plans to expand this beyond high school?

New comment by infinitebattery in "Google Classroom"

infinitebattery — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 16:22:49 +0000

Senior at the International Academy here (a public high school in Michigan). One of my classes uses Google Classroom.

I think that Google truly took a "Google Plus" look and morphed that into a website for teachers. I love how it has a clean and easy to use UI. The assignments are on a side bar, announcements are clearly displayed in a "stream". You can easily post a message to your class, and you have access to everyone's email (making it easy to communicate).

Teachers in my school have used three platforms. Moodle, Google Classroom, and Edmodo. Quite frankly, I have come to like Edmodo much more. They're identical to Facebook, but the layout is so much better than the alternatives (in my preference). Edmodo has truly thought everything out.
