Ask HN: What is your #1 practical lesson or "aha" moment from coding with AI? 3 by johndavid9991 | 6 comments on Hacker News. As a developer, my own workflow has shifted completely over the last few months, but I feel like I'm still uncovering the best patterns. I'm curious about the specific inflection points where things clicked for others. Was it a shift in how you prompt, a change in your tech stack, or learning when not to trust the output?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Do you find it annoying to share your availability over text/DMs?

Ask HN: Do you find it annoying to share your availability over text/DMs? 5 by siddhibee | 1 comments on Hacker News. For those of you who network or set up a lot of meetings: do you find it annoying to find and send your available times in casual contexts (text, LinkedIn, DMs)? Switching between a messaging app and my calendar just to figure out when I'm free is enough friction that I sometimes end up delaying my responses by a few days / miss sending availability entirely. Curious whether others hit this, how you handle it, or whether it's a non-issue for you.
