@tnachen Omg huge congratulations Tim!!!

Really excited to launch our fund 4! techcrunch.com/2025/09/23/tim…

@mvernal I actually laughed out loud at this

Everything’s model

@adoeable_ Bellevue is the apex suburb

@jonchu I am an cringe millennials, never be ashamed of who you are.

@KathyXSun Didn't you just tell me how you were vibe coding 2 days ago?

@ffx Chaotic good v lawful good. Does it say something about this generation

what if omakase is this generation's hibachi

@nosilverv My training data of like n=5 is they just all married off the charts stable ppl and the problem disappeared.

How do you one-shot fix avoidant attachment? Asking for a friend whose relationships are dying, thank

@auchenberg What was the no-code mistake with wysiwyg editors?

Building AI Agents with WYSIWYG editors is not it. A repeat of the no-code mistake.

y’all actually finishing your side projects?? As @shepwalker says — the thing i love about ai coding assistants is they let me build half finished side projects at an exponential rate

Always committed to doing the best work of my life

Remember when Claude was a Fire Emblem thirst trap? When I make an AI, I’m naming it Sylvain.

@jxnlco Even 1 thing kinda okay for like 10 years works out pretty well tbh

have you considered doing literally just one thing well

@jonchu Seattle dogs are shocking well-behaved!

Interesting observation. My quality of life living in Mountain View next to Castro street is equivalent to living in North Beacon Hill in Seattle. Wonder why more people don't move. Cost: Seattle was significantly cheaper and the house cost 1 million less. Food: NBH has 3 coffee shops and 4 good lunch spots within walking distance. Castro st had more, but I don't really need more variety beyond my usuals. Schools: MV has a better high school. The elementary and middle schools are similar. Dogs: NBH has significantly more Samoyeds. And the dogs in Seattle are much better behaved. Not sure what that implies.

@calvinling626 My family sometimes booked hotels on the fly and it sometimes meant we were driving until 4am looking for an available motel to stay in.

when you go on a long road trip, do you pre-plan stops and book hotels in advance, or do you just stop whenever it makes sense? and does your answer change if you're road tripping an EV?

@WillManidis @nathanbarry This is exactly how I was bamboozled into reading Infinite Jest

@nathanbarry have you read Hegel

What is your favorite interview question to ask when hiring?

@tanin Yeah I was thinking if the issue as top of funnel you could look at how they’re positioned

@KathyXSun Very interesting and well funded. Probably the same target users. Funnily enough. I tried to switch to duckdb 2y ago. It couldn't compile properly on Windows. There were other bugs. Not sure if the state has been improved. DuckDB has a more comprehensive SQL dialect than Sqlite.

There's a real use case for Superintendent.app. But it seems I'm still missing something. I can't quite figure out what exactly.

@jmduke Oh I'm very curious if you have any favorites to recommend? (Do you already have a blog post with this info?)

I love having my cute lil catalog of friend's blogs and programming blogs and design blogs and cocktail blogs that I can leaf through — my own personal infinite magazine. It's very satisfying!

I get that this is a 'classic HN!' comment but honestly.....RSS is still really great, and I am grateful that most major platforms have bolted-on RSS feeds to mollify the XML dorks like myself. twitter.com/Suhail/status/…

@pfau I pop in what I write normally and ask ChatGPT to make it more concise. (I guess Grammarly might be getting replaced soon...)

I feel like I just live in a different universe from these people? I haven't once gotten a result out from using it that makes me think "oh, this is a useful tool I need to have access to". Am I taking crazy pills here?

It's impossibly romantic to me. I imagine my parents: a few years younger than me, finding their way in this big cruel world but knowing they have each other so they'll make it.

This was the start of the high life together: Mom started buying an extra large peach for lunch each day. Dad got a daily can of coke each evening.

Becoming a parent has me reflect on who my parents were before having me. They said it was sad but when I pulled the details out of them and it was so beautiful I cried.
