Not sure I want to trust an LLM with a bulk transcription task that I want to be 100% faithful.

definitely; our main goal is to see how much we can accomplish in a month and do a mini social demo day at the end. more info in our faq https://www.hackerresidencygroup.com/faq

i really like the saying "talent is uniformly distributed; opportunity is not"

this is def an experiment and our first time doing anything like this in SE asia, but i'm personally really excited to see who this attracts, and i just hope it ends up as a semi-organized non-shitshow ;)

Hey HN,

I've partnered w/ indie hacking legends Tony Dinh and Minh-Phuc Tran to host a new type of month-long Hacker Residency at a dope villa in Da Nang, Vietnam, this November, 2025.

*This is an experiment*

We're looking for 10 experienced devs who want to lock in with us for a month to take their startup / indie game to the next level!

We're also looking for some select sponsors who align w/ our mission to help us cover our costs (program is free for residents unless you've taken venture funding, and includes housing, cleaning, catering, laundry, etc for the month).

Would love to hear your thoughts!
