    Ask HN: Is it just me, or is software buggier across the board?

    I feel like I’m going crazy, I’ve been hitting the strangest bugs across all my devices in the last 6 months. Is anyone else experiencing this too?

    Ask HN: Are AWS Certs worth getting for experienced Devs?

    by Gold-Ask-lx · about 13 hours ago

    I worked for big tech out of undergrad (mostly frontend/mobile for a few years) moved on to work at a few startups where I naturally switched to do more backend/cloud infrastructure work. I never got a 'formal' education in terms of masters or any kind of certs. Would it be worth it for me to start getting some Certs (like AWS solutions architect - associate/professional) if I want to switch my career towards more solutions design/consultation? I don't know many people personally that went this path. I guess I'm looking to work for reputable agencies or consultancies and get assigned to different clients/projects instead of the usual big tech route of IC for a particular team of a particular company until that company decides to reorg you to another team.

    Obviously not all Certs have the same value. I think AWS Solutions Architect - Associate would be the most adjacent 'bridge' for me, is there any other ones that I should be seriously considering? Seems like theres a new one every week nowadays with AI (which I've dabbled with before in some prior projects but nothing deep or extensive).

    Ask HN: Add flag for AI-generated articles

    by levkk · 3 days ago

    Should HN add the ability to flag articles as AI-generated? This doesn't have to act as a regular flag, i.e., it won't de-rank the article; it could just show up as an indicator, allowing others (like myself) who don't like reading AI-generated text, to skip it.

    Open questions:

    1. Why is the regular voting system not enough?

    2. Should HN change in response to the gen AI era? It has been successful not changing fundamentals.

    Tell HN: Fable Credits Are 150x More Expensive

    by yesitcan · about 13 hours ago

    I’m on a Max 20x subscription and can use Fable for several days before the weekly quota runs out.

    By contrast, I bought $250 worth of credits and burned through them in an hour.

    I’m trying to understand who the target customer is.

    Ask HN: Is page 2 HN better?

    by Towaway69 · about 9 hours ago

    Just wondering whether others have the same impression: are the articles better on the second page of HN?

    The front page is basically AI and associated slopationalism while the second (and further) pages are more down to earth and worth investigating.

    Ask HN: Who build production apps with out seeing code?

    by amukbils · about 10 hours ago

    Cursor now defaults to agentic mode with no code editor at all, which got me wondering: who is writing or who is building production-grade apps with actual real user traction without ever seeing the code? I can't imagine doing that. At least right now, in the current technology, it's too risky.

    Are there real examples of people building and shipping real products without ever needing the code editor? Just to clarify, 99% of our code is written by AI, but it's helpful to have the code editor so we can just review and see what changed. VS Code is good for that, but Claude Code and Codex and all the other CLI-based stuff is just not really well optimized for reading code.

    Revised Polish Alphabet

    by poloniaco · about 11 hours ago

    Aa Bb Cc Çç Dd Ee Ęę Ff Gg Ɠɠ Hh Ii Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Oo Ǫǫ Pp Rr Ss Şş Tt Uu Vv Ww Yy Zz Ȥȥ Ьь

    Ɠ W E R T Y U I O P Ç Ǫ A S D F G H J K L Ş Ę Z Ȥ C V B N M Ç ь , .

    Changes: Some letters were removed as they don't make distinct sounds in the language.

    One letter one sound: cz -> ç ó -> u ch -> h sz -> ş

    Makes more sense regarding the sound: ą -> ǫ ć -> çь h -> ɠ ń -> nь ś -> şь ł -> w w -> v ź -> zь ż rz -> ȥ

    Introducing soft sign will allow for more possibilities (e.g. loaning from languages like russian). Introducing separate letter for every soft sign is redundant. ь is to be read as "miękki znak".

    With my alphabet the orthography of many words have to be changed a lot: żółw -> ȥuwv tchórz -> thuȥ włóczęga -> vwuçęga wolność -> volnoşьçь wąs -> vǫs bohater -> boɠater

    Notice how much better does orthography align with pronouncination.

    Any thoughts about how to bring this to live to some extend? Thanks in advance.

    Ask HN: Should I do a CS masters at Cambridge or start as a new grad at Amazon?

    by sspehr · 3 days ago

    Basically what the title says. I'm in the very fortunate position to be able to decide between the two trajectories. What do you recommend if my goals are flexibility and money in the long term?

    EDIT: It's very funny, I've asked the same thing on Reddit and over there 14 out of 15 comments advised me to take the job offer and here on HN the first 3 out of 3 comments tell me to do the masters
