Hmm, but weren't you already rating websites by clicking on the search results before? I don't see how that changes the game - and I must admit I don't know much about SEO - but in my view we were always rating results and that was influencing the position. Now they make the linking obsolete or at least less important signal... that's good? It means that relevant content is going to be surfaced to the top. Win-win honestly (and yes, Google will continue to use users-generated signals to drive their revenue like they always have).

I found this little game yesterday that sucked me in.

I’m NOT the creator.

This is great! I've been trying to get into local models for a while as I share the sentiment that local models will eventually be so good that there won't be a need to use frontier models for most coding tasks (perhaps that's already true today?).

I have zero experience building computers - where would I even start? I mean, aside from the things already well documented and mentioned in the blog post.

I agree, but for small tasks - <20 lines that I can understand in a minute or two - perfect. Thinking about it - I have hundreds, if not thousands of tasks that I would like to do, improving pipelines, migrating from one tool to another, but never have time. The only question is - if I don't have time to do it, do I have time to prompt it?

I was thinking for years about doing something like this. Thank you for linking this. Would be nice if it allowed to "reject" or mark a change to fix later, but honestly when it would need to be linked to some tracking tool and it would be overkill.

This is a great idea for some vibe coding tbh and you can customize it to match exactly the resources that you need as everyone has slightly different requirements for their k8s stack.

The simplest way to start probably would just be to create a custom Helm chart and define what you want in `values.yaml`.

Yup. Which is kinda funny, because back when I was a young dev using Windows I never liked nor understood PS.

My stack today is kinda nice but perhaps a bit odd:

- Go - backend + CLIs

- TypeScript - fronted, occasionally zx for more complex scripts

- Nushell as my scripting language (I’ve been relentlessly using it everywhere I can instead of bash/zsh and man it is such an improvement)

I heard so much good stuff about both Zig and Rust and would love to eventually get to know one of them.

How come it took them so much time to send this notification? I'm so fed up with their bs.

Did it twice: once had 0.177, 2nd time got 0.280. Note sure what to make of this, I guess I should always leave it on 50/50?

Ask HN: Best build in public/regular updates blogs?

suralind — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 17:52:21 +0000

I’m looking for any blogs or other places where folks share regular updates about their companies/projects over time. I know there’s big community on Twitter, but that’s mostly bragging about revenue. I’m slightly more interested in longer forms where you can actually see their journey.

Please share a link if you know any blogs like that :)

Musk is the ultimate conman. I admire the work that SpaceX is doing, but Elon just plays the market, every single time. I don’t know why he’s allowed to do that and why people still fall for his promises.

This SpaceX thing will make him 2 trillion guy, not the 1 trillion he’s promised to be.

Sucks for the people to lose their jobs, but probably the most honest message you’ll ever see.

What I don’t understand is why. There’s a natural churn at each company. Of course it’s not 40%, but probably 4-5% per year, but I doubt the company freezes hiring and they are not pressured to do this.

I’ve been testing it for a few days on pretty much clean install (no customizations/extensions) and it’s ok. Not sure if I like it yet.

suralind — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 01:06:56 +0000

I want to like it, but I pretty much always have a "cleanup" script that just deletes the entire directory and touches a .gitkeep file. Obviously an even better pattern is to not have any .gitkeep files, but sometimes they are just handy.

Self-service analyzers! This will be huge for big libraries and I can imagine heavily used by infra folks (although they could use analyzers already).
