Free access to elevated views is always a winner in my book. So yesterday I went up a few. This was all on-the-hoof so I didn't go up the big three because they expect you to book in advance.

Domain Expertise Has Always Been the Real Moat

0 CommentsEntertainment

🔥 Read this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: The hard part of writing software has never been the writing. It was building a working model of the domain in your head first. Before you could ship a payroll system you had to understand garnishments and pre-tax deductions and what happens when someone’s pay period straddles a rate change. Before you could ship a transit app you had to learn what a GTFS feed is, why a trip and a route aren’t the same thing, and how a bus that’s “on time” can still…

I love a good project writeup of course, but frankly I thought this was too quick an afternoon project to warrant any more documentation than a tweet. Twitter thought otherwise … i mounted a tiny microphone on my apartment balcony to listen for any birds passing by and built a site to collage them as they're heard pic.twitter.com/85KrLRL5tu— Teddy (@WarnerTeddy) May 28, 2026 i mounted a tiny microphone on my apartment…

🔥 Discover this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Continuous memory and self-improvement for coding agents. It learns how you work and recalls it automatically, with no commands. Works with Claude Code and Codex. It watches a session, distills durable lessons in the background (your style, your stack, fixes that worked), and loads the relevant ones at the start of the next session. No slash commands, nothing to save by hand. The idea is from Hermes Agent; this is my own take, generalized across hosts with an optional shared layer (the community pool, below).…

Ahoy, DECmate II! the little PDP-8 that could

0 CommentsEntertainment

✨ Read this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: In 1982, as we mentioned at length with our history of the DEC Professional, Digital Equipment Corporation attempted to keep their PDP-11 minicomputer market-relevant by turning the venerable architecture into a largely incompatible desktop microcomputer. But that wasn't the only PDP-series mini it happened to, and it wasn't even the first: the PDP-8 actually got the shrink-ray treatment several years before, and not content to merely make it into a smaller general purpose computer, DEC turned it into a word processor. Thus emerged the DECmates,…

Anyone can build a platform now. Almost nobody can get people to find it. · ClaudeFolio

🚀 Read this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: I want to start this post with an admission that's a little uncomfortable, which is that the platform I built specifically to help other people solve their distribution problem is itself struggling with exactly the same distribution problem I built it to solve. ClaudeFolio is live, the submissions feature works, the upvoting works, the design is clean, and the rules are exactly the rules I wanted them to be. The only thing missing is the part where lots of people know it exists. And that…
