I bring your solutions to life.

An Engineer of many hats, I solve your problems and bring them into the world. I’ve built entire systems from the ground up, delivered physical products in a matter of weeks, and kept Oil Rigs working offshore, built departments filled with the best people to produce top results and make the wonderful dreams reality.

With a background in Electro Mechanical Engineering, I’ve designed products for the consumer, offshore, military markets, so I know what good hardware looks like. I’ve built prototypes for many markets, and architected complex systems from concept to retirement, in a complete cradle to grave manner. I’ve worked closely with software teams to guide development of new features to protect marine vessels from GPS jamming, developed APIs for integration and dug through code by hand to reverse engineer old products that haven’t been touched in decades to determine their operation and how they will be supported and upgraded to turn them into the feature they should be.

As an Engineering Manager, I’ve been the driving force behind teams. I build teams based on two key ideas - is the team one full of individuals that are valued for their expertise, and is the culture one that I would like to be a part of? I make it a matter of pride that everyone should feel like an integral part of the team, and that mentality comes from the top down. I’ve worked with remotely distributed teams across many different disciplines, all working towards the end goal without ego getting in the way. My job has always been simple as the EM, give the team the tools and trust they need to do their absolute best.

Your idea is your baby, it’s precious to you. I’ve worked at startups, small companies and mega corporations and I’ve always maintained a very simple philosophy when it comes to work - “are we doing what the customer needs with the best people we can get?”

I’m your mechanical engineer, engineering manager, product manager, systems engineer, R&D specialist, market analyst and head of technology in one, and I’m ready to make your dream the product it needs to be, hardware or software.

I think it's an issue of customer need. I need a car, I can't get to my job without one, and so I'm willing to pay a $250 non-refundable deposit before knowing my interest rate and wait two months for my model y to come in.

I don't need a magazine, the content is free on HN, so minor inconveniences will prevent me from subscribing. If customers really needed this magazine they wouldn't care about how hard it is to cancel, and the magazine would probably make it easy to cancel because they would have better revenue streams to chase.

I have an extra reason to be sad about this, as a writer who had at least one article published in _Linux Format_ (“Julia: Learn the New Language for Scientific Computing”, back in 2019: https://linuxformat.com/archives?issue=246). It’s another reduction in the size of the reasonably-paying market for long pieces with technical content.

>In all seriousness, two months ago (January 2025), I (@kentonv) would have agreed.

I'm confused by "I (@kentonv)" means here because kentonv is a different user.[0] Are you saying this is your alt? Or is this a typo/misunderstanding?

Edit: Figured out that most of your post is quoting the README. Consider using > and * characters to clarify.

The best part (for me) was not only the enforced curation but the exposure to "stuff you didn't know you wanted to know about".

With the modern Internet you go right to what you want and rarely see links to things you don't know about already - magazines were great for that, especially on a train ride where you have nothing much better to do than read the "other parts".

I have been both.

I worked for a Japanese company, for most of my career. My non-Japanese status, often meant that folks with clout would not look to me, for input, when making strategies.

Personally, I think that it was OK, for a lot of stuff, as I really wasn't a "native," when it came to corporate culture, but E.L.E. disastrous, in a couple of instances; namely, where they were dealing with American companies. They made critical mistakes, by not understanding the culture.

But they did value me, and my team. They gave us work that was "corporate DNA" stuff. So secret, even our CEO didn't know about it. We had a very high level of trust, with Japan. Not sure the names the author gave to the two different approaches are ones that I would use.

> GCS comes across as a much better thought-out and built product

I've worked with AWS and GCS for a while, and I have the opposite opinion. GCS is what you get if you let engineers dictate to customers how they are allowed to do work, and then give them shit interfaces, poor documentation, and more complexity than adds value.

There's "I engineered the ultimate engineery thing", and then there's "I made something people actually like using".
Show HN: Discover Real Problems on Reddit That Could Inspire Your Next Startup
by ayushpawar | 2025-06-02 15:08:04+00:00
I've built SnoopSignal, a tool that scans Reddit in real-time to surface real, unsolved problems that could be turned into tech products or startups.

Why I built it: I was spending hours on Reddit trying to hunt for startup ideas. I realized there's a goldmine of real-world problems buried in long posts and comments but they’re hard to find. So I built a tool to do that for me.

I'd love feedback on: Are the surfaced problems actually useful/interesting to you?

What would make this tool more valuable if you're ideating on new products?

No one is reading until someone is... I published both Computer Graphics from Scratch[0] and the Fast-Paced Multiplayer series[1] for no concrete reason, they went unnoticed for a long time, and then both led to things I couldn't have planned.

I've also published stuff that gets little attention and leads nowhere, like Emulator-Backed Remakes[2] or ZX Spectrum Raytracer[3], and I'm totally fine with that. I make these things primarily for my own amusement ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know how many people visit my website. I have analytics, but I rarely check them.

> but I don't think the "skeptic vs pro-AI" distinction even makes that much sense

Tends to be like that with subjects once feelings get involved. Make any skepticism public, even if you don't feel strongly either way, and you get one side of extremists yelling at you about X. At the same time, say anything positive and you get the zealots from the other side yelling at you about Y.

Us who tend to be not so extremist gets push back from both sides, either in the same conversations or in different places, while both see you as belonging to "the other side" while in reality you're just trying to take a somewhat balanced approach.

These "us vs them" never made sense to me, for (almost) any topic. Truth usually sits somewhere around the middle, and a balanced approach seems to usually result in more benefits overall, at least personally for me.

That particular class doesn’t depend on the COM-related pieces of the ATL library. It can be used in any C++ project which targets windows desktop platform. I think since VS2015 ATL is available even in the freeware community edition of the IDE. Before that, it required a commercial edition.

About non-Unicode WinAPI functions, I don’t use them at all in the software I’m developing, nor the TCHAR conditional typedef. VC++ compiler defines wchar_t as a built-in type for the UTF16 strings used in WinAPI functions.

> The million dollar (perhaps literally) question is – could @kentonv have written this library quicker by himself without any AI help?

I *think* the answer to this is clearly no: or at least, given what we can accomplish today with the tools we have now, and that we are still collectively learning how to effectively use this, there's no way it won't be faster (with effective use) in another 3-6 months to fully-code new solutions with AI. I think it requires a lot of work: well-documented, well-structured codebases with fast built-in feedback loops (good linting/unit tests etc.), but we're heading there no

Galaxy (getgalaxy.io) - The Cursor for SQL | NYC, NY | Full time -- Founding Frontend Engineer -- Founding Backend Engineer -- Founding Machine Learning Engineer

We are building the unified data platform, starting with a reimagined SQL editor from the ground up - and moving into sharing, collaboration, access controls, and more.

We just launched the alpha product TODAY to a list of over ~2,000 people on our waitlist

Myself and a handful of super deep data / SW engineers started Galaxy as a passion project to solve 3 key problems:

1. *Queries everywhere* – SQL lives in Slack snippets, BI folders, dusty Git repos, and copy-pasted Notion pages.

2. *Never-ending data requests* – because no one can find (or trust) the right query, engineers and analytics teams still get pinged for “one more pull.”

3. ChatGPT doesn’t have full DB context - non technical users are writing incorrect SQL that lacks context AND technical users are rewriting the same queries over and over again

LOOKING FOR: We're looking for high agency, high velocity individuals and someone who wants to be part of a family. We are building ~the unified data platform~ and want someone who is excited to be part of the story.

I am transitioning out of my role of CTO and am exploring opportunities. I have 15 years of web experience building CMS and CRM for small and large companies.

As a co-founder (as well as my prior years), I wore many hats and spent countless hours as a result I can architect and design large codebases, hire and retain talent, lead and manage teams and set company-wide goals. I built and managed an engineering team located all around the globe and built a platform empowering small and medium businesses to run their operations; the company is entering a new phase of growth and it is the right time for me to find opportunities that aligns with my personal goals.

I am looking for a role at an established company. The bigger the problem, the more exciting. A perfect role for my profile may be one that blends my experience of building a successful B2B2C startup (building teams, product and software) and my experience of building B2B tools at a large company (Twitter).

If you need someone that can be an immediate value-add, bringing a ton of firepower, solving big problems and rallying teams to move mountains: hit me up!

Hi, asking this again as it's got even worse today. I'm seeing 75% of my 'chat UI' on gemini.google.com fail with "Something went wrong" and API responses taking 100s+ to come back.

I have cameras that take SD cards and settled on two tracks for SD cards. First are the daily shitkickers which I use for random photos. These cards are either in the camera or in one of the SD card readers. They cycle out every other time, once or twice a month. The second track are "project cards" that are used for one single project and then set aside once the files are pulled off the card.

I don't shoot video, and these are used with relatively slow Pentax 645Zs, so I can get away with using the lower-rated cards as the camera is going to take about 7 seconds to write a single shot to the flash no matter the speed of the card. I buy 32GB cards in bulk.

I’ve been using Claude (via Cursor) on a greenfield project for the last couple months and my observation is:

1. I am much more productive/effective

2. It’s way more cognitively demanding than writing code the old-fashioned way

3. Even over this short timespan, the tools have improved significantly, amplifying both of the points above

I unfortunately still have to revert to the "customer is always right" level of understanding, the customer being either external or management or... whoever can get you booted. A lot of the time it doesn't matter what you fixed on the way to attempting to complete your behind schedule widget. If it's late they may ultimately blame you for it and ignore the positive effects. ... Because someone might have to fall on their sword.

Very thin article. The thesis might as well be that technical competence is gone and judgement is all that’s left.

I file this under the category of AI musings on the inevitable massively changed landscape that AI has wrought.[1] I get the feeling that the content itself is secondary (again: the thesis is thin) to the motivation of writing about how AI has supposedly changed everything forever. In this case: now technical competence is dead, hail the king (judgement or whatever).

Not really my point.

I specifically didn't call LLMs a statistical model - while they technically are, it's obvious they are something more. While intelligence is a hard concept to pin down, current gen LLMs already can do most (knowledge work) based things better than most people (they are better writers than most people, they can program better than most people, they are better at math than most people, have better medical knowledge than most people...). If the human is the mark of intelligence - it has been achieved.

Alphafold is something else though. I work with something similar (specifically FNOs for biophysical simulations) and the insight that data only models perform better than physics based model is novel - I think that the Nobel prize was deservedly awarded - however the thing is still closer to a curve fit than to LLMs regarding intelligence - or in other words, it's about as "intelligence" as permutation based black boxes were.

> 2. The Lucky Ones™ who happened to accidentally align an enjoyable hobby with a career and think because they "did it," anyone can, without acknowledging that they were simply in the right place at the right time with the right skills, or that the stars don't exactly align the same way for the rest of us.

To be fair, advice doesn't have to be applicable to everyone in order to be useful to someone.

Extremely few people get to become astronauts, but that doesn't go to say there isn't relevant career advice for those who do aspire to become one.

Chalking outcomes up to luck is also not a very useful attitude. Life undeniably has a huge random element, but it's more akin to the randomness of the stock market than a pure dice roll. You don't have control of every outcome, but your choices and decisions can massively tilt the scales in favor of getting "lucky".

Why do you need a non-expert? We built on layers of abstractions, AI will help you at whichever layer you're the "expert" at. Of course you'll need to understand low-level stuff to work on low-level code

i.e. I might not use AI to build an OAuth library, but I might use AI to build a web app (which I am an expert at) that may use an OAuth library Cloudfare developed (which theya are experts at). Trying to make "anyone" code "anything" doesn't seem like the point to me

From this commit: https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-oauth-provider/commit/...

===

"Fix Claude's bug manually. Claude had a bug in the previous commit. I prompted it multiple times to fix the bug but it kept doing the wrong thing.

So this change is manually written by a human.

I also extended the README to discuss the OAuth 2.1 spec problem."

This is super relatable to my experience trying to use these AI tools. They can get halfway there and then struggle immensely.

Thanks for weighing in here

If I might make a suggestion, based on how fast things change, even within a model family, you may benefit from saying Claude what. I was especially cognizant of this given the recent v4 release which (of course) hailed as the second coming. Regardless, you may want to update your readme to say

It may also be wildly out of scope for including in a project's readme, but knowing which of the bazillions of coding tools you used would also help a tiny bit with this reproduction crises found in every single one of these style threads
