Do founders' political views affect how you see a product? 3 by rishikeshs | 3 comments on Hacker News. There is a product I really like. Love using it, love tinkering with it, and I buy into the overall vision. Founder has also always been pretty respectful publicly. But I recently came across some of their political views and now I just feel a bit weird about it. Nothing changed about the product, just how I feel. Do you separate the product from the founder? Does this change whether you keep using something? Or only if it starts showing up in the product? Don’t ask what the product is. It doesn’t matter and I’m not going to share.

Ask HN: Agentic Permutation of Testing Paths In A System 4 by davidajackson | 0 comments on Hacker News. Given a system with N components and M pairwise connections between said N components, there exists infinite sequences of [component, command, ...] for a series of operations. A component displays data and a command obviously executes a command. Has anyone here done research on using an agant to select happy paths to test based on user intent? Is there literature on this? Seems like a cost, compute, intent optimization problem. Assume latency is a restriction. Seems like something some AI research folks here can chime in on. I have my own opinions but want to hear what the community thinks.

Is VC the new PMF strategy? 3 by networkOne | 0 comments on Hacker News. It seems that companies use VC funds as the main advertising for their company these days. In fact, without capital raising it is hard to set yourself apart from the rest of the budding companies started in their thousands each day. The receiving of VS funds now seems the only way one can create any virality in the marketplace. People still have a plea to the expert-from-out-of-town in that they feel... "well VCs are very experienced people who know what to look for when investing", which is counter-intuitive when faced with the realisation that VCs fund 19 losers for every 1 unicorn. People want a company to be big before it has a marketplace-chance of being big. An press release of "ABC Co., a startup tech firm, has a $25M investment from Vulture VC Fund resulting in a $1B valuation" carries considerably more viral weight that a PR stating "ABC Co., a startup tech firm, has a business...

Ask HN: Hiring in the age of AI-assisted coding: what works? 5 by nitramm | 3 comments on Hacker News. I saw the HackerRank (YC S11) hiring post (https://ift.tt/hDOq8SG) and it made me realize I no longer understand how to evaluate candidates effectively. Specifically, we are changing hiring across 3 dimensions: > Tasks: Real-world tasks on code repositories vs standard algorithmic-style puzzles > Evaluation: AI fluency, orchestration skills vs functional correctness > Candidate experience: Agentic IDE vs a simple code editor In the “old world,” you could ask multiple questions and triangulate skill from answers. Now it seems like evaluation depends heavily on tools and models that keep changing month to month. So I’m curious: > What signals actually correlate with strong engineers today? > How do you design interviews that don’t become obsolete with the next model release? > Are algorithmic interviews still useful at all? Would love to hear from people who have re...
