Iβve won a @hackernoon Noonies Award for my contributions to the developer community
Thanks everyone for voting π π β at Amsterdam, The Netherlands
ai turned me into a polyglot developer

this will be appleβs biggest fumble ever just to give the new ceo something new to show off instead of the XXth version of the iphone

overengineering was the easiest way to fail your startup
glad it no longer exists today
itβs hard to explain the 2010s microservices fever dream to anyone who wasnβt there
every day on HN, we'd wake up to an article from a new startup about how they split their app into 300 services so they could infinitely scale (never mind that they only had 100 MAUs today)
so many companies never recovered from this
it turns out, replacing simple function calls with network calls that could randomly fail isn't great for shipping velocity
do we get a another shrinkflation of the quota soon?
JUST IN: Anthropic recorded a staggering $80,000,000,000.00 net loss in the first half of 2026.

I'd much rather work with someone who flexes much they accomplished with the fewest amount of tokens vs how many tokens they spent, and I sense this is a major trend in general
How we quantify this as an industry is still TBD, probably a major new set of benchmarks
Reminder to spend every token in your quotas, in every tool or subscription you have
These times wonβt last
If an AI service is at capacity, let me leave the task in a queue.
Show me that itβs waiting. Let me cancel it. Continue when thereβs room.
Clicking βtry againβ every few minutes is a strange job to give the human in an automation product.
The best harness knows how to get most out of both the data and the model
Pure model agnostic harnesses will never get the most out of a model
