Ask HN: What trades can I learn at home?

spacebuffer — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 18:34:57 +0000

I am a mid level software engineer, currently I am working in SWE but I am worried I'll be out of a job in a few years. I am honing my skills without AI in case the prediction that hiring will pick back up in a few years but I need a plan B.

I am looking to learn a trade job/skill so I can sustain myself in the future. everyone is talking about plumbing but that sounds daunting and I don't know where to start.

Is there something that I can do from home alongside my job to elevate my skills IRL for free or for cheap?

this sounds very effective. I obviously understand you wouldn't want to explain how LLM detection works, but would it be possible to know which forge your using?

I am in my 20s. At the moment I've got a part time job, but I am preparing myself for the worse. In the next few years I am planning to volunteer at farms through workaway. Maybe one day I can become self sustainable,tech and nutrition wise

also getting into plumbing, curious to see what others are doing in this regard.

What to do if my house catches on fire, including my computer where the passwords are stored?

For me as a desktop linux poweruser, I find this potential transition pretty intimidating, I've never flashed a phone with a custom rom let alone switch to a completely different OS, and I am not sure if the phone can even be reset to its original OS, if things go south.

I'd use git in this case, I am sure there are other reasons to use overleaf otherwise it wouldn't exist but this seems like a solved issue with git.

I love your site! the typography is very nice, especially the body typeface

Ask HN: Which tech stack for creative blogs?

spacebuffer — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 15:36:45 +0000

by creative blogs: I mean ones where you can customize specific article pages easily, to change the styling, add interactive demos, etc..

Examples:

1. this Reuters article https://www.reuters.com/graphics/TENNIS- WIMBLEDON/GRAPHIC/lbvggkzjmvq/

2. anything by Bartosz Ciechanowski

For my blog (yusuf.fyi) I used to MDX to do this, but I have since moved on from the react ecosystem and want something lower level. especially since my site got vendor-locked in an old astrojs version and I am struggling to upgrade it.

Tangent questions:

- What RFCs are useful to read if I want to learn networking well

- I heard that the best way to learn low-level programming is by rebuilding already existing programs. what high quality RFCs can I use as a guide to code-my-own

Any particular books you recommend? people keep mentioning _how to win friends and influence people_ and I am not sure if it's just mindless productivity gurus hype
