Number one on HN. Second time in the last 30 days.

Number 3 on Hacker News. A new historic moment.

I discovered a large-scale malware distribution campaign on GitHub. orchidfiles.com/github-repos...

I ask the AI to move a file, but it starts creating a new copy of it in a different folder and then deletes the existing file. It could have just used the command to move the file.

Price of dreams

Reason behind a startup's success

Why is there a belief that we should stop comparing ourselves to others? If I compare myself to who I was yesterday, rather than to others, how will I know which rung of the social ladder I’m on? Or do I not need to know my place in society?

I'm tired of talking to AI. I want to talk to real people. But even when I talk to people, they forward my questions to AI and send me the AI's answer.

If you’ve lived long enough, you’ve had that moment when you almost lost everything, but somehow didn’t. You could have lost your life, but an incredible confluence of circumstances saved you. You accidentally deleted your customer database, but a backup you’d only just set up saved your business.

When launching a startup, don’t make it multilingual until you have stable revenue and a team to support it. You can’t know whether the startup will become profitable, so early on, your time is better spent finding PMF and acquiring users.

You start out wanting to become a millionaire. Then you become one and realize you’re just one of a million people just like you. You’re not special, you’re no better than anyone else, you’re not even one in a thousand. You’re one in a million.

I once asked Composer 2 to add support for a third-party API in the code. I was so lazy that I just dropped the token into the chat and gave it the task. It replied in bold “This is urgent. You sent the token in the chat. Revoke it right now”.

American style uses double typographic quotes “ ”, British style uses single typographic quotes ‘ ’, and technical documentation uses straight quotes " ". In American style, punctuation goes inside the quotation marks; in British style, placement follows meaning.

Statistics say that 90% of startups shut down in the first few years. But this only applies to venture-backed startups. Startups with other kinds of funding may have a 50% chance of success, and your own odds may be even higher.

You can read all you want about psychedelic states, panic attacks, or being drunk. But no description can convey what they actually feel like. Only by experiencing something like that yourself do you realize how big the gap is between merely knowing about it and actually feeling it.

Right now I have over 10K tasks written down across all my projects. If I completed one task every day, it would take me 30 years to complete all of them. But when I do a task, I get new ideas and write down a few more new tasks. My task list will never end.

The most profitable project of my life hasn’t been built yet. My most viral post hasn’t been written yet. I haven’t met the most wonderful person yet. I haven’t come up with my strongest idea yet.

I have doubts not only while making a decision, but also after I’ve made it. I publish a post, and the next day I already want to change the wording. I come up with a cool name for a product, register the domain, and claim the social media handles, but a week later I no longer like the name.
