• AMA: I'm Eric Ries (The Lean Startup) & Author of New Bestseller Incorruptible

  «Please shut up and take my money». Jokes aside - can’t wait. Your book The Lean Startup helped me so much. I read it tens of times. It’s one of the reason I got great traction with mine startup https://playcode.io - AI App Builder on our custom cloud. Thank you Eric. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI

  I built a complete clone if fly.io infrastructure: VMs, networks, etc. So I have my Vercel on bare metal machines to maintain full-stack apps on https://playcode.io. It took more than a year. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• How's Linear so fast? A technical breakdown

  I completely rebuilt this sync engine + orm with relations, lazy loading etc, using Vue + Pinia in https://playcode.io. Google Linear’s videos, they explained in detail their architecture. Yes, I spent a few months. But it worth it. Every new field, model I need to add, it is so straightforward. I do love frameworks and foundations. They make live easier later by a lot. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Zerostack – A Unix-inspired coding agent written in pure Rust

  Don’t get me wrong, but 7K LoCs means it is still an early attempt to make a coding agent. It starts easy “ah it can edit and read files!”, but it requires a lot of extra effort to make properly for many edge cases, especially caching, price optimizations, etc. I’ve been implementing custom coding agent in https://playcode.io for 3 years already. Far beyond of 7K LoCs. So when you compare to “shitty slow” Claude... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• I Am Building a Cloud

  - k8s is insane peace of software. A right tool for a big problem. Not for your toys. Yes, it is crazy difficult to setup and manage. Then what? - cloud has bad and slow disk. BS. They have perfectly fast NVME. Something else? That’s it. Why I am so confident? I used to setup and manage kubernetes for 2 years. I have some experience. Do I use it more? Nope. Not a right tool for me. Ansible with some custom Linux... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI skeptic predictions been?

  Valid criticisms of AI - safety critics who think AI can take over the world like Yud (I find this the least credible but still valid) - Bernie type of critics who think AI can cause widespread job losses - Ruxandra Teslo who thinks AI can remove meaning which I feel is the most serious one [1] What are not valid - environmental like emissions and water usage - AI is useless and it will take the economy with it... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Writing by Hand is Good for your Brain

  It's ironic that the article that caused him to write this post (https://substack.com/@justindeschamps/note/c-261265212?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=7y05q) is written by AI. I see this style of informational writing all over the place now. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Kids (With Phones) Are Alright

  Sure there was basically a cartel in social media. You saw coordinated censorship campaigns to ban the former president of the United States for example. But I wouldn't discount the amount of political interference there as well. The last administration admitted to flagging individual posts for the social media companies. But it's also true there is a lot of coordinated censorship even without state interference.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
