On: A first-responder approach to code reviews

[calebelac]

This "first responder" approach is a good idea. I could see it building confidence/camaraderie among teammates quickly. I'll try and implement this approach this week and see how it goes.

Also, that last comic strip cracked me :)

On: AI makes it easy to build SaaS–but webhooks still break in production

[calebelac]

I’ve been building a small SaaS around webhook monitoring and kept running into this problem.

It’s surprisingly easy now to scaffold a full app with AI and get Stripe working locally. Everything feels “done” really quickly.

But production behavior is different — retries, out-of-order events, schema changes, and especially webhook silence where events just stop arriving.

Curious how others here are handling this in practice. Are you just logging webhooks, or do you have any monitoring/alerting around them?

I enjoyed your review. I tend to lean fantasy genre, but it may be time for me to read Starship Troopers.

Really cool, practical idea. No feedback for you yet; I'll poke around more.

It's funny I come across this today. Was just telling a buddy of mine last week that I have a spare 3080 machine that he can have to play around with agents/llms, but I wasn't sure which ones it could play well with :)

Thats awesome! Glad to know this was worth spending my time on, if only one other person gets a kick out of it!

On: Show HN: A minimalist dungeon-crawler card game built with Deno

[calebelac]

Played for a few minutes and really enjoyed it! Will probably pick it back up later this evening for another run. What are your thoughts on Deno? I haven't used it personally, yet.

[davrodpin → calebelac]

I am glad you like it! I am going to keep adding feature here and there to see where the project goes.

What is good about Deno to me is the native Typescript support and the toolchain.

such a fun idea! I like your solution for detecting when agents are reading your page vs. humans.
