Whether we like it or not, coding is now about how you can leverage Claude/OpenAI/Gemini to do the work for you. If you don't have these skills I would focus some effort there. Are you familiar with how to use agent skills, parallelizing agent work, creating plans, etc.? With agents it is also much easier to build out some hobby projects. These can look great on a resume and provide some talking points in an interview. Worth looking through the Who's Hiring posts here on HN to see what employers are currently looking for and try to tailor your submissions towards these needs.

We're building https://brooked.io/. In the same way that Cursor provides a lot of features on top of the base agents, we want to do the same for spreadsheets. There are many workflows that benefit from having an agent available - resolving cell values from a prompt, writing functions, sheet insights, alerting, debugging.

I think it’s ok that it’s similar to other SaaS websites. It wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for LLMs and it gets the job done and looks decent.

We built the frontend for https://brooked.io and https://app.brooked.io using only prompting so I agree!

Anecdotal, but I'm extremely disappointed with my Hyundai Tucson purchase. It's the first car I've owned. The drive train is gone on it and the mechanic says it's a common issue. Only 140k on it, 2019. It's hard to believe I paid so much for it and got so little use.

More like we are all equally unprincipled when it comes to survival

I’ve reviewed stacked PRs a couple of times and found it pretty terrible. The only one that ends up making any sense is the first. Better off with either just one single big PR, or don’t ask anyone to look at the next PR until the first one is merged.

I guess I was just disagreeing with your opening sentence, the rest was spot on.

Disagree. Gukesh was constantly putting pressure on Ding to find defensive moves and Ding finally made a mistake. The fact that it happened when it did just makes it even more dramatic. We know from the other matches that Ding is capable of finding them, and the fact that he didn't just highlights that they're both human, both under extreme pressure and that it's not just mindless computation.

Can a bear be blamed for murder? Somewhere in between the two is where AI models currently are, and they’re going to continue getting closer to the bear scenario.

Second this. Libraries like Material UI are battle tested and cover the vast majority of components you’re going to need. You can extend or theme them to match your needs and often include a built in design system. The likelihood of building something better from scratch are low.

It’s interesting to read comment threads of people that are dead set against Typescript. It’s a tool that has very few downsides and that improves nearly every single line of code you write. Either they’re scared to learn something new, not willing to take the time, or misunderstanding how useful it is. For anyone reading these comments and agreeing with Typescript naysayers, I would think more about why the commenter and yourself feel that way. You’re putting yourself at a big disadvantage.

Seems like the gases are getting compressed either way and it's just different ways of wording the same effect. As for it being reversible or not, is it not just a matter of whether the energy was actually transferred somewhere? Like you could technically undo the shock the same as you could depressurise air in a pump no? I don't really know what I'm talking about though, fyi.
