- websapThe best code is no code. Every line of extra code added, and every extra platform supported is potential for more bugs, which has the potential to affect my user experience.
- I actually have a problem with this. I want AirPods to be undeniably the best experience for me because I am fully locked into the Apple ecosystem, and I know many folks have complaints against that. I find it to be rather pleasurable to use compared to all the other alternatives out there. So if I have to start sacrificing my experience in favor of universal support, that really sucks.
- You built a solid app!
- > Users simply do not want to type out “hey, can you increase the font size for me” when they could simply hit “ctrl-plus” or click a single button3.
I would def challenge this. “Turn off private relay”, “send this photo to X”, “Add a pit stop at a coffee shop along the way” are all voice commands I would love to use
- Yes, not using it especially during a job search is foolish. The information asymmetry is against you, fight the machine!
- Thanks for documenting your experience, I would not buy a Volvo ever.
- As someone currently on the H1B program, and working in tech for the past 10 years, how do I navigate the current climate in the US? Especially when sentiment around H1B workers is at an all time low - https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=44606374 ?
I love working in the cutting edge of tech, but no other part of the world has been able to replicate this model the way Bay Area, SF, Seattle, and now NYC has. Great companies, ambitious people, new emerging tech, and large compensation.
Are there other countries where YC sees companies originate from and they prove with a path to citizenship for software engineers?
- You can literally download and try it for free. Cursor is just better, its insane that Microsoft screwed up AGAIN!
- Currently using cursor. I've found cursor even without the AI features to be a more responsive VS Code. I've found the AI features to be particularly useful when I contain the blast radius to a unit of work.
If I am continuously able to break down my work into smaller pieces and build a tight testing loop, it does help me be more productive.
- Crazy to see him just bury their DB provider. I wonder how many SaaS-infra providers that aim to provide a more managed infrastructure experience over AWS would share the same fate if one of their users blew up like Cursor!
At least for now the large cloud providers are effectively the best place to run workloads at scale, so all these smaller SaaS providers are probably trying to gain customers by advertising the simpler and more productive dev experience. With the lure to smaller teams not needing to understand the full blown complexity of managing infrastructure on AWS, but in-actuality the profits are probably solely driven by overcommitting compute resources on shared fleets, and clever capacity management.
I wonder if the cost of software development reduces, which side of the equation will give out first. Will there be more new software developers, so managed experience providers like Yugabyte will have a bigger target market thus continuing to grow, or will dev tools get so good that smaller teams will directly be able to use AWS and bypass the UX benefits some of these SaaS companies provide.

- I know this is a fast evolving space, but I'd love to learn more about what exactly is possible here. The API doesn't seem to be very well documented.
- Checked out the readme and the screenshots and this looks quite polished.
I didn't see anyway to connect with my bank accounts and pull this information. Would you be open to adding an integration like this? Maybe through Stripe financial connections, or the Plaid APIs?
- Imagine your kid not getting invited to birthday parties because they or you don't use an iPhone. Apple knows what it's doing and shareholders are gonna love it!
- What does this mean for folks like me who buy Vanguard ETFs through Robinhood.
The Vanguard UI / UX is absolutely terrible. Opening the website instantly transports me to 2002.
- Here's the simple question - who gets fired when the deliverables aren't met?
This is the single greatest motivators for American companies in our exhausting capitalistic society.
- I work in big tech in the US. In my usual daily life, I get to meet extremely intelligent and successful people from India. Ex-founders, Executives, engineers that have built large parts of the software we take for granted - each and every one of them maintains that every time they have to apply for a visa as an Indian passport holder, it's an absolutely humbling experience.
This is the burden we carry.
- That is absurd. In Seattle, I pay $70 for 1 Gbps.
- They just did.
