Precisely, there are about 100 of these, and everyone makes a new one every week.

He's correct internationally, compared to real socialists in countries like Australia/NZ, US dems are definitely mildly center right.

This is more accurate, I've written enough code in my life to never really want to do it again ....but I still love creating (code was merely the way to do it) so LLMs help with my underlying passion.

I don't find the same, like you, principle/CTO engineer, there's a world of difference between simplistic prompt/vibe coding and building a properly architected/performant/maintainable system with agentic coding.

That's great and I'm the same, 40s multiple founder and I was ready to hang it up after my last exit -- had 0 passion to code anymore and now I'm back and LLMs are reigniting my passion to create again.

It's Qwen3.5 now, you're a bit behind the times.

Same, I have a bunch of skills defined ith proper YAML headers and semantic triggers installed, I make a point of listing not too many but making it quite specific.

Even with that, I have to be very specific in triggering a skill and it's hit or miss if it picks up on the skill -- usually I have to say there is a skill with this go and use it.

New comment by oulu2006 in "Why DuckDB is my first choice for data processing"

oulu2006 — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 14:27:03 +0000

That's really interesting, I love the idea of being able to use columnar support directly within postgresql.

I was thinking of using Citus for this, but possibly using duckdb is a better way to do. Citus comes with a lot more out of the box but duckdb could be a good stepping stone.

Hopefully that's "reduced execution time" :)

I like the remarkable paper pro -- been using it for 8 months consistently.

oulu2006 — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 01:48:58 +0000

The rest of the world just shakes its head at the US healthcare system.

Powerful forces keep it as it is -- and people seem to buy the stupid communism/socialist crap that they pedal and soak it up hook line and sinker.

Gave up trying to understand why.

oulu2006 — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 02:42:19 +0000

Never left bittorrent.

I really wanted to embrace streaming services, prime really killed me recently, with introducing ads into a membership that I already pay for! and 90% of movies on prime I have to pay an extra 20 bucks to view ...why am i paying for membership?

right people mostly, I partnered with someone different for the 3rd startup; from my experience with the first 2 i realized the sort of person I needed as a co-founder.

Someone to compliment my deficiencies, domain expertise and with the same focus and mindset to succeed -- most startups fail because of founder issues.

3 products

1st one didn't sell

2nd one sold for 000s

3rd one sold for 000000s

4th one ?

so really went the other way, quality over quantity

not sure if that's a bad thing when it comes for FE frameworks - not reinventing it every 5-7 years i think is a good thing.

I just do it with multiple terminals + checkouts + branches -- this seems to just get in the way.

But I'm an old school vim/emacs keyboard only hacker, so terminal all the way is super efficient for me

New comment by oulu2006 in "Ask HN: How much of OpenAI code is written by AI?"

oulu2006 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 01:46:13 +0000

I'm already building whole projects now with AI -- not a single line of code by myself.

I love it, I've coded for 25 years and I don't need to write another line ever again, I just want to build cool things as fast as possible.
