Over the summer, I met a romance novelist at a party, and she gave me one of the best tips I've found for attracting new readers to my book: showcase other writers. mtlynch.io/retrospectiv...

exe.dev is still behind a credit card for now while we develop some more techniques for dealing with people who abuse systems (even a credit card doesn't entirely work). But if you are a human who wants an invite code to skip the CC for a month, happy to DM you one.

I'm on Hacker News today! I wrote about my eighth year as a bootstrapped founder.

The showed us cute missing dogs & we consented to turning our doorbell cameras into a mass human tracking system. Mark my words, Ring's Search Party will become the next Flock. Only instead of just being sketchy cameras installed in parking lots, it will be everywhere. That's their play.

I've now been an indie founder for eight years, and last year was my favorite. I wrote all year and figured out what kind of business matches me as a founder. mtlynch.io/bootstrapped...

I've been leaning towards Tubi being the streaming service, and now I think it's official: they have Season 1 and Season 2 of one of the best science and technology comedy shows ever made… "Look Around You". Thanks, Tubi. Thubi. tubitv.com/series/30001...

I made enough money from komorebi this month to cover my rent for the first time I started the project in 2020 It might not seem so big when there are so many announcements of AI startups raising millions every week But it's pretty big to me

This past weekend, I went back to Broadview for the first time since being federally indicted. I will put my body on the line no matter how many times it takes.

Big milestone! 🎉 My first app is now on Setapp. I’ve been a subscriber since 2017, so this feels pretty surreal. 🤩 Transcrybe live-translates any audio on your Mac: go.setapp.com/stp1479?refA...

@jmduke.com can you update your site's repo so I can submit a PR to fix this *egregious* bug in your review of The Diplomat?

Sprites.dev by @fly.io is a very cool new thing: it solves two of my pet problems at once, developer sandbox environments for coding agents and a JSON API for executing untrusted code I wrote more here: simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/9/s...

Got a notification that I was using 600x my normal CDN credits. I checked it expecting an aggressive LLM scraper. But nope, just Google, downloading the same 3 MB file from me every three seconds.

New blog post! A close look at Tahoe menu icons https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/

My article about the HN's top bloggers of 2025 is on the front page of HN. Honestly, I'm quite relieved after it flopped yesterday. I don't mind pandering to HN, but it's embarrassing when even that fails.

The underlying data for this is available as CSV files with open CORS headers, so I had some fun loading it into Datasette Lite and querying it with WebAssembly SQLite simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/2/m...

With 2025 complete, I can finally declare the most popular bloggers of Hacker News: 1. @simonwillison.net - 20,117 points 2. @jeffgeerling.com - 10,813 points 3. Sean Goedecke - 10,804 points 4. Brian Krebs - 10,699 points 5. @neal.fun - 8,936 points refactoringenglish.com/blog/2025-hn...

@chriscoyier.net Hi Chris, we took your advice 😉 Check out our updated blog layout! blog.kagi.com/orion

Three years ago I sold my agency to one of our long time clients and went to work for them. I made it 11 months before I got fired. I wrote about the experience, how it felt, and what I took away from it: www.andrewaskins.com/how-to-get-...

From @evanhahn.com "These old books often have passages that lack clarity but overflow with panache. If you like hearing someone described as 'impervious to the shafts of ridicule and insensible to slights,' you’ll like this writing style." evanhahn.com/story-of-the...

I was recently re-reading Crafting Interpreters and was struck by how delightfully effective its introduction is. In just four sentences, @stuffwithstuff.com establishes exactly what you'll learn from the book and why you'll enjoy learning it with him. refactoringenglish.com/blog/craftin...

How many clicks could it possibly take to add a simple VLAN to OPNsense?

Law enforcement: we need to break encryption to get access to Signal to protect the children!! Also law enforcement: for years couldn’t catch a pedophile sex trafficker who used email to coordinate all of his pedophile sex trafficking

One of the simplest ways I've improved my writing is deleting words like "very" and "much" that add virtually no meaning.

I've recently been reading an early access version of Refactoring English by @mtlynch.io . I have to say this is a great book, with lots of hard-won tips and advice on how to make your writing more accessible and get it in front of a relevant audience. 

New Podcast Episode: @matt.godbolt.org is back after 5 years! And he's sharing stories about breaking through layers. Sometimes your “disk write” is a network hop in a trench coat, and your “fast path” hides a page fault. Godbolt's rule will help. corecursive.com/godbolt-rule...

Google just suspended SSLMate's Google Cloud account for the third time: www.agwa.name/blog/post/go... The obvious fail is Google's trigger-happy account suspensions, but the more important fail is that Google is disincentivizing the secure options for cross-provider access with Google Cloud. 1/4

Design docs are difficult to write, so if your team can't review them effectively, you're doing most of the hard work but missing out on a huge amount of value.
