The Hacker News tarpit This newsletter is free to read, and it’ll stay that way. But if you want more - extra posts each month, no sponsored CTAs, access to the community, and a direct line to ask me things - paid subscript...

But don’t take my word for it. Go read Joan. www.joanwestenberg.com/the-hacker-n...

It always has been. A Claude subscription will only get you so far while deskilling you in the process. And it might be even harder now. Attention is razor thin and people have lost trust in tech thanks to the techno-oligarchs.

“You can build anything over a weekend.” God, I hate that line. Building is the easy part. Finding a real problem, solving it the right way, and making the economics work so you can keep going. That’s the actual work.

15+ years ago I yelled in anger to my startup cofounder: “The code on your computer is worth nothing. Go out and sell it.” Harsh, but it’s always been true.

Maybe my concept of meaningful work and yours are not the same. Maybe we should start with that.

A riesgo a equivocarme, creo que Nestlé y todas sus subsidiarias son unas de las empresas más fáciles de reemplazar. No hacen un solo producto bueno.

Sin contar que la empresa creció notablemente durante la Primera y Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pero Suiza es neutral.

TODO develop new political movement "against inboxes"

Man... Fred Again.. is in another league.

the bar for “thought leader” has gotten so low that having any thought at all qualifies

@offprint.app is insanely good for a first release. I was literally mid-plan on building my own blog. Still might. But it's really hard to justify when this exists. Might just throw them an annual sub and start writing. Kudos to the team!

🎉 congratulations!

After 5 intense years at GitHub shipping security tools and Copilot Metrics, I'm closing this chapter. Taking a sabbatical first, then back to building something of my own. I couldn't name everyone who made this, but you know who you are, and you made it worth every bit. I'll miss you all.

Man, really? 😅

But all we got is this

what are the chances this thing will be abandonware in a month?

you can make something in a few days but will you commit to maintaining and improving it for the next few years?

“We are boasting our 2026 capital expenditures to $200 billion, with most of the spending going to ketamine. I know this looks insane, but we’re not tilting at windmills here.”

Meditation, Language, and LLMs — Roden newsletter issue 112 The resolution of a human is much higher than we think

“I also think we’ve long ascribed meaning to the wrong activities. So it’s a good time to start meditating, to spend a few afternoons talking about what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and maybe what you’d rather be doing.” craigmod.com/roden/112/

Turns out your Pokémon Go data will be used to train robots Pokémon Go scanning data will now help robots deliver pizza in time

Sorry to break it to you, you weren’t lied to. You sold that data to Niantic, the same way you buy in-game goods, and now they can do whatever they want with it.

So let me get this straight. You work 9-to-5, earn a salary, and spend some of it on a loot box for virtual goods. Then you play a game, scan your environment, earn those same virtual goods as payment, and now you’re mad because you “worked for free”? All while you agreed to this in the EULA.

this is the whole internet for me sadly
