In my early career, I used to believe in doing whatever it took to stay with a company, becoming emotionally invested in every line of code and system I developed. However, after a few negative experiences with bosses who didn't treat me well, I came to realize a few things:
- My code is disposable, and I should not become overly attached to it
- Loyalty should be mutual and based on a healthy relationship where both parties are willing to invest
I’m 21, have been following HN since I was 18, from Asia.
HN is perfectly accessible for younger folks, if you make it more accessible for casual unserious people, you’ll start getting more and more casual and unserious conversation.
The UI is a good filter to remove folks who need hipster UI to just use a platform.
There is hipster UI, and there's not handling pagination, having buttons bordering on the unusable on mobile, commenting requiring a new page to be opened, etc.
thankfully, due to the simplicity of this site, it's easily parsable, and Daniel Wu made an iOS app which addresses some of those issues, called Octal.
I have a 11 inch tablet for HN casual reading. And I moved over to the laptop for serious discussions. My phone is for checking only because it’s always near.
I've been using Hono + Bun + SQLite for all my personal projects, and I really like it. Essentially, I've replaced Express and Node with it. What I appreciate the most is how quickly I can set up a project with Bun, have native SQLite connector, and how minimal the Hono base app is. Additionally, I can use JSX without any setup hassle.
