"Why I still write raw code instead of prompting the compiler" and "Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI" are my two favorite ones.
"Ask HN: How do you prevent ad-injection in AR glasses?"
Things that I haven't thought but, after seeing it, makes total sense. Scary.
2040 HN:
"Ask HN: How do you prevent ad-injection in my brain implant?"
Black Mirror episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_People_(Black_Mirror)
Good to see that there's new episodes and they've still got their mojo - putting it on my list.
The National Lampoon did it in the early 70's.
IIRC Asimov included this in Foundation; the poor couldn’t afford good adblockers for the implants they’d bought (in the hope of getting a better job)

I think that "Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI" could easily be a post here today
And it’s just a copy of notepad from windows xp.
Dave Plummer (ex Microsoft) did this on his YouTuve channel recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmBd39OwvWg
Would also recommend his back catalogue, if you haven't.
Given it's HN, it'd likely be emacs, vi(m), or something like acme.
"raw code" is going into my permanent lexicon.
Hot take: regular old source code is just compiler prompting.
"Playing GTA VI on a RISC-V cluster" sent me
I would be the author of the first one
Peak HN - captures it perfectly.
