On: Ask HN: Why do we snore? And what to do about it?

[OutrageousTea]

Snoring usually happens when air cannot move smoothly while sleeping. Sleeping on your side or keeping your nose clear may help.

On: Ask HN: How to make a mono-repo AI-Ready?

[OutrageousTea]

Honestly, if humans can easily understand the codebase, AI tools usually work better with it too. Clear structure, consistent patterns, and good docs go a long way.

On: Ask HN: What will happen as AI costs increase?

[OutrageousTea]

Same pattern as cloud pricing free, then efficiency pressure kicks in. When costs rise people will move from heavy LLM usage to smaller, task-specific AI and more optimization.

Post it where your users already spend time and keep it simple—show what problem it solves, not just the code.

Agreed. I think that's the basis of promotion and marketing: find your users and make sure you can reach them. I'll try to be more focused on meeting the needs. Ty.

On: Ask HN: How to solve the cold start problem for a two-sided marketplace?

Start with one busy route and manually connect travelers with senders. Once it works there, slowly expand to other routes.

On: Ask HN: Building a solo business is impossible?

[OutrageousTea]

It’s not impossible, but it takes way longer than people expect. Building is easy the real challenge is finding customers and distribution that actually works.

On: Ask HN: SeedLegals Partnerships in London, worth it?

[OutrageousTea]

SeedLegals is good for getting your name in front of UK startups, but it usually doesn’t bring many real customers for API/dev products. Try it only if it’s cheap for you and you want awareness, not direct sales.

On: Ask HN: LeetCode, anyone still doing it?

[OutrageousTea]

LeetCode is still used, but it’s not the only thing that matters now.

With AI, companies care more about how you think and solve real problems, not just memorizing questions.

How have the coding interviews changed recently? Some companies say that they don't allow AI during interviews, right?
