Spring Boot is very similiar to Rails. That's what was surprising to me, when I was forced to use it at uni. The annotations magic brings all the PTSD of method missing from Ruby

The worst part is communicating to the Ruby on Rails community that they have a problem with DX or that Rails is not really the top choice anymore for new startups. It's a cult of DHH. I am still mostly part of the Rails ghetto; it's paying my bills, but after gaining more experience during my computer science master's degree with statically typed languages, I clearly see the pitfalls of Ruby.

People often miss the difference between simple and easy. Yes, Ruby is easy, but it's not simple, and it will make you suffer a lot if you get to a complex app. The debugging sessions in Rails are a nightmare. Meanwhile Ruby community is acting like religion, it's almost impossible to convert people from Ruby to other languages, they don't see the language as tool, but as part of their identity

With weird sadness I have to say, we are getting targeted with new kind of marketing. It doesn’t look like it was just technical decision. If anyone was following what was going on X, it was crazy with amount of content about it.

I couldn’t believe before with all fearmongering being marketing, but I am coming to conclusion it is. It’s hard to get any signal over noise in attention economy. They know what they are doing and it’s Deja Vu of crypto, but now we are targets with rage baits, guerilla marketing, buzz

I built this after my brother started complaining that I got too much into brainrot culture. It's just for fun nothing serious, but was able to test vercel, tanstack start and convex without high stakes.

Have fun! This is the game where lower score is goood for your mental health

Show HN: Vim and centaur chess inspired app, where you choose from top moves

lackoftactics — Sat, 02 May 2026 18:29:20 +0000

The chess app built with Next.js, Convex, and Clerk, where Stockfish (WebAssembly) runs entirely in the browser. Instead of playing freely, you're limited to the engine's top suggested moves — but their evaluations are hidden until you pick one. Human intuition guides the choice; the engine does the heavy lifting.revealed.

You can select from two types of move selections 1-5 and jkml; vim style

GoModel. I see some red flags in the docs/benchmarks, but I could be wrong in my judgement here.

What I noticed: the website shows a diagram of the litellm SDK communicating with the gateway proxy of GoModel, poor design of benchmarks, the scope of the project in readme vs. depth.

I don't have professional experience in GoLang, so will not comment on quality of code.

There are some genuinely good things about this project and the effort here, but with solid position of Bifrost sitting at a version above 1.0.0 and so many other initiatives in this space, it's a tough market.

if that's the case and doesn't need crazy number of integrations, I agree with you 100%

I might be wrong, but if you go after 200 integrations keeping them on is substantial work for solo founder
