I thought so too, untill I looked for 1-point Show HN posts with a repo with a long commit history. Some of these are really cool (see my article), but others were not compelling at all, at least to me.
Sharing prompts, not sure it works if your project required hundreds of prompts? It’s all in history though (.jsonl) so I’m sure the AI can condense it somehow.
Maybe. It's basically "people who know how shit works" vs "people who don't know how shit works". I hope we still have at least some people in category 1 or else we just end up with Wall-E.
Of course. People tend to conflate ‘using AI while coding’ with ‘vibe coding’, but they are very different. That’s why I like the framing of “understanding” vs “not understanding”
If a year is too much, then that implicitly also implies that the project was never interesting enough to be posted anyway. The interesting projects are interesting because of the projects themselves, not the tools used to build them.
If the software is not as exciting because the tools have changed, then it wasn't exciting in itself in the first place.
I'd push back on this and say that the #1 problem with the discourse about AI now (e.g. why I'd almost never upvote a blog post about AI coding) is that it is too focused on 2026-02-17. That is, I could care less about optimizing to pick the best model or agentic workflow because it's all going to be obsolete in a year.
I am wary of blogs by celebrity software managers such as DHH, Jeff Atwood, Joel Spolsky, and Paul Graham because they talk as if there was something about their experience in software development and marketing except... there isn't.
The same is true for the slop posts about "How I vibe coded X", "How I deal with my anxiety about Y" and "Should I develop my own agentic workflow to do Z?" These aren't really interesting because there isn't anything I can take away from them -- doomscrolling X you might do better because little aphorisms like "Once your agent starts going in circles and you find yourself arguing it you should start a new conversation" is much more valuable than "evaluations" of agents where you didn't run enough prompts to keep statistics or a log of a very path-dependent experience you had. At least those celebrity managers developed a product that worked and managed to sell it, the average vibe coder thinks it is sufficient that it almost worked.
This article is focused on the US, and recommends:
- To fix the exporting of plastics to countries that don’t properly process it.
- While this hasn’t been fixed, change your personal behavior to not recycle plastics so it goes to a landfill instead.
Correct?
If you live elsewhere, you should do this analysis yourself. I live in the UK, which apparently exports plastics to Turkey, Netherlands, and a bunch of other countries. So I guess it’s fine to recycle here?
AFAIK, this could be pretty disastrous for French businesses that funnel conversion data to Google Analytics, which is then used to optimize their Google Search ads.
Switching to another solution for analytics might be ok, but losing the ability to automatically optimize ads based on conversion data is a big pain.
This just reads like "local commenter says trillion dollar industry is a sham".
Targeted ads pay loads more than untargeted, and you're essentially saying all those companies paying more are in the wrong. Some campaigns even manage 10-25% click through conversions, when well enough targeted.
Well, in regards to what the OP said, this whole "we need to track our users" stuff is bullshit. I see those "highly optimized" campaigns too, when something goes wrong and the SEA people start to cry because somebody stepped in their sand castle.
That's a super interesting question. I suspect it is because Facebook dominates the market for advertising-that-tracks. They're just not as good as other players at advertising-that-doesn't-track.
So when they lost inventory (e.g. for retargetting), that is a direct loss of revenue for them. The question is, what did the company with the budget previously spent on those targetted adverts do instead? Did they buy less well targetted adverts elsewhere? Or up spend on offline marketing? The economic question is, how effective was that - more or less effective?
Obviously losing 10b dollars is bad for Facebook. It isn't clear that it is worse overall for ad spend, or economically.
Because FB is a company on the edge of collapsing.
They aren't innovative, the market is saturated, new users in developing countries are not worth as much as those from "first world countries".
As the users in first world countries are getting more and more aware of all the privacy issues, how FB fails to keep their platforms clean (either from spam or fake news) and other companies starting to like the taste of being valued as "privacy-friendly", the business model of FB is starting to crumble.
They have long only made (more) money because they found more ways to put together all the bits and pieces and breadcrumbs and build profiles they could sell to advertisers.
That age seems to be over (soon), so they are done, too.
Years ago I did credit investigations related to mortgages as a job. My info is perhaps a bit out of date but I'm not aware of any significant changes related to this. If you simply ignore an account that has a balance due accumulating on it, they'll likely charge it off to a debt collector as part of a routine batch process. The threshold where this happens varies but 90 to 120 days overdue is the common range. You could argue with the collection agency that the service provider voided the contract by their behavior, but honestly, arguing with a collection agency isn't gonna be easier than jumping through the hoops to cancel with these scummy service providers.
No. You cant do anything to someones credit unless you have their SSN. Damn good thing thats the case also, if you happen to be named Jane Doe or Bob Smith.
Yup, the local city library dinged my credit report for late library fines ($18) and I had to clear it up to get a new mortgage. The library did not have my SSN.
I tried this recently but it's possible to get all the way to putting your card details in without it ever telling you how much it's going to charge you. I closed it.
What do you mean? Normally you should see the price at the start of checkout.
We are improving some stuff though:
- Better communication of what's include when you upgrade your project -> DONE
- Explain pricing on other pages as well, like home page -> TODO
