> It's the best coding model we've ever trained

I assume for more technical folks this is not needed, as it's just a marketing term. There's no need to use such words because it's obvious, none worked for months to release a worse model/phone/laptop you name it.

Could you use an open source CMS for non technical folks, i.e. Decap?

New comment by ribice in "Ask HN: Any interesting niche hobbies?"

ribice — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 21:28:58 +0000

Two things, but mostly revolves around sports. As my job in software engineering is very sedentary, I try to remain active in my hobbies.

First is gym - I go every morning before work, do a 2-mile run or 5k, depending on my mood, and then power lifting.

On weekends I hike or climb. I find it very liberating when visiting places without any kind of network and it's me, nature and socialising. I've recently also started an outdoor agency (it's local to my place) - for when AI takes over my job completely: https://boa.ba/

I did this recently at the company I work at. Someone suggested GitBook, I 'Vibe coded' an internal docs website in under and hour. Does what we need, looks good. Unless the app has a large community/network and is just a SaaS with some offering, it'll be very easy to replace it.

Multiple things, but among many:

- A sports club management platform, and a way for end-users to sign up for sports events, lessons etc.: https://mojtim.ba/en/

- Given the raise of AI, I'm a hiking guide and would like to have that as an alternative, an outdoor activity agency - https://boa.ba (still very WIP)

I've built a web app primarily for my Hiking Club but then my plan is to also sell it to others.

https://mojtim.ba/en/

'Vibe coded' this in about a week recently. The app is also available in English and has a demo account available.

I wrote about the building process on my Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7404469...)

I think this particular issue has only been reported on Pixel phones. Since I searched for it throughout the internet (for a solution), I found a dozen of reports with similar issues as mine. I never experienced this on any other phone.

Last month or two I worked on a Golang Restful Starter Kit.

Ideas and motivation behind this project are available as a blog-post on my website: https://www.ribice.ba/go-restful-starter-kit/.

All feedback is welcome.

New comment by ribice in "Upwork banned my account for 'being dishonest'"

ribice — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 19:25:13 +0000

It was more for the reviews than the money. I assume after having few positive reviews, it's easier to get higher paying jobs.

It's a standard guide when joining new freelance sites.

ribice — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 19:24:35 +0000

You're correct. I did it more for the reviews, so that I can charge appropriate rates later on.

I spent probably 2-3 hours for that $15 (and 3 hours more for additional $30) and then about 2 hours for that $100 (expected $50). These are all excluding messaging, just actual work.
