Another real killer feature of web-based IDEs is zero setup for new engineers.

You won’t have to spend a day fiddling with your local env. Everything just works immediately.

There are commercial alternatives like GH codespaces but not as good as Cider-V.


I'd rather have a remote hosted devcontainer and a local IDE. No fiddling, settings pushed on the container (same with plugins to use etc).

The keybindings with the web ide's always are a drag to me, actually the lack of good keybindings.


Oboe | Full Stack Engineer | New York City | ONSITE | $170k-$230k

Oboe's goal is simple: teach one billion people one trillion things. We'll do that by building the world's first completely generalized AI-powered learning platform. Today, so much of our focus is spent on making machines smarter. We believe it's time for machines to make humans smarter.

We're looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to work across Oboe's stack, from our backend pipelines that leverage AI to generate world-class content, all the way to the interfaces that our users engage with on the web.

We're a team of generalists, so this job will have you learning every part of the systems and features that bring Oboe to life. This is a highly hands-on role where you'll have tremendous impact, ship real features to real users, iterate quickly, and learn a ton.

Tech Stack: Node, TypeScript, React, AWS, MySQL, LLMs.

That comment is clearly sarcastic. And Reddit went from floundering to $10b+ public company.

Well, the username `fleaflicker` could fit an account that someone uses to respond to people who annoy them, and who they think are parasites and far beneath them.

But it's not necessarily an alt of Altman. HN has a lot of people who'd say that, and a lot of people who'd like to smack those people and other people, and also the normal (old-school) Internet levels of trolling.


I was kidding


Yep, and I thought the fitting username was funny.


Business value is a good way to think about it:

> As a software developer, fixing bugs is a good thing. Right? Isn’t it always a good thing?

> No!

> Fixing bugs is only important when the value of having the bug fixed exceeds the cost of the fixing it.

If you have high volume automated testing, you want to fix all the bugs, even ones not directly affecting customers, otherwise they keep showing up and may keep you from finding other more customer-relevant bugs.


Don’t forget trello


Publishers can email newsletters at zero cost. Every other newsletter provider charged by volume.


Really good one in response to claims that stack overflow could be rewritten in a weekend:

Just adding a data point. I got into YC in 08 but didn’t do it because I sold my company before I had a chance to accept.

PG gave me advice during the negotiation with the acquirer anyway.


I think I remember this. It was a fantasy football site selling? I think you were the first company to get an offer to WC and then decline. Congrats!


What was the advice?


No particular words of wisdom.

I was 26 and selling to a big company. It’s nice to have somebody experienced in your corner.
