It's a bummer that the session limit can be reached in the middle of the answer.

Understandable from the cost perspective, but a bad UX nevertheless.

A great example of a hard engineering task to solve

Claude strikes back 🤖

I ran out of monthly credits in Cursor and decided to give the "grok-code-fast-1" model a try, as it is free for now.

As you can see, it didn't go well.

Not sure about developers, but it can already replace the Lorem Ipsum thingy for sure 🙂

DHH has just announced that Campfire is open-source from now on.

Pretty cool!

When Claude convinces you to use a particular product despite the initial idea to go with the competitor, it's a good sign of nice docs and credibility.

DaisyUI it is, then.

Great job, @saadeghi.bsky.social and @daisyui.bsky.social contributors!

I manually submitted talktolocals.ai to 31 directories, and here are the stats 2 months later 👇

We have a clear winner, so far: TAAFT.

But 2 launches are still pending: BetaList and ProductHunt.

Let's see who will win 🙃

I'll post new stats in a month, so stay tuned and don't miss out.

Reached my very first milestone with talktolocals.ai

The next screenshot will be from the Polar dashboard.

I hope 😄

The number of bots parsing GitHub is insane.

Here is a screenshot from my newly created repo with 0 stars and followers.

Do you see the similar stats for your repos?

Came across this post on Hacker News today.

It's quite ironic to see how professional devs in Microsoft are forced to use the tool that is not good enough yet.

But somebody up the ladder can report that AI creates 80% of PRs now.

Google explains recursion with a hidden Easter egg

I started my journey in tech with a role that was a hybrid of PM and QA:

- figure out what needs to be done for the product
- compile a list of requirements
- send it to devs
- test the feature they built

With LLMs and Cursor, it feels like being back to where it started 🙂

In 2025, choosing a programming language for the project has a new dimension: AI awareness of it.

And since LLM quality relies on the amount of data it was trained on, it leads to surprising results:

Java > Kotlin
JS/TS > Swift
C > Zig
Python > Rust

Interesting, isn’t it?

Coming from (relatively) big tech, I always think about scalability when building something. Would it be able to handle a million users?

The truth is that most indie apps end up having 0 users. And tech is not the reason for that.

A reminder to myself: think, but not overthink.

Finally, a useful study out there:

Came across this piece while reading Peter Thiel’s “Zero to One” book.

Internet proved to be useful, but overvalued internet companies without real use cases or profit streams collapsed the entire industry.

Is it only me, or does this look similar to nowadays AI gold rush? 🤔

After watching @mtlynch.io “Hit the Front Page of Hacker News” course and applying the knowledge, my post ended up on the front page.

No secret tricks in the course, though, just tips on how to write a good content, and insights on what topics are a good fit for HN, and what are not.
