New ask Hacker News story: Offering 1 free hour on marketing and distribution for early builders

Offering 1 free hour on marketing and distribution for early builders 3 by zonementale | 0 comments on Hacker News. I see a lot of projects launching right now with decent products great idea but weak marketing or distribution. So I’ll make a simple offer: I’m giving 1 free hour to a few builders who pitch me their project the best. If you think your project has potential but you’re stuck on positioning, distribution, GTM, or traction, send me your best pitch.

New ask Hacker News story: Write Your Own Copy

Write Your Own Copy 5 by operatingthetan | 0 comments on Hacker News. Every day I'm seeing people making websites for the sole purpose of posting to HN, and it's all AI. The site, the words, the ideas. Obviously that person had the idea to begin with, but the execution is slop. These people are putting their names on this stuff, and everyone in the world right now is learning to recognize the tells of AI writing. The tone, the abstractness, the specific phrasing. We all know it. It's a turn off. So my idea is simple: write your own copy. That's an advantage now. It's becoming scarce today. Be real. Whatever that means to you.

Ask HN: How Do You Relax? 4 by azeirah | 1 comments on Hacker News. Bit of a different question than most of what usually gets discussed on HN, but I find myself occupied with work a lot and while I enjoy it a lot, it's draining. On top of that, I have ADHD, which makes it more difficult for me to really relax. What do you do for relaxation?

Ask HN: Are agents _still_ writing most of your code? 3 by etamponi | 2 comments on Hacker News. At the beginning it was very cool to see them write a lot of code for me, in particular while I was ramping up on a new codebase. But I am seeing myself using agents less and less as I get more acquainted with the codebase. I might use them as a glorified copy n paste or to get a tool running. And they're indeed very useful to get the gist of a part of the code I don't fully grasp. But I am back to writing I'd say 90% of the code myself. Is this your experience as well?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Thought Exercise regarding RX dependency

Ask HN: Thought Exercise regarding RX dependency 2 by Bender | 0 comments on Hacker News. Many of the prescription drugs as far as I know come from China and India. Should trade be cut off from China and India: - how long would each country have until they run out of prescription drugs? pharmacy, lab and national guard stockpiles - how long would it take each country to ramp up their own production of said drugs? - would some countries just let their supplies run out? Eugenics, allowing blood pressure rebounds and strokes among other things to run their course to reduce long term health care costs. just something that crossed my mind after listening to Doomberg for a while.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Should we collectively stop spell checking and fixing grammar

Ask HN: Should we collectively stop spell checking and fixing grammar 2 by sankalpnarula | 1 comments on Hacker News. I know this sounds strange, and this could have been a reddit post, but I have realized ever since I went back to not rewriting things for polish using AI. I have had more positive feedback from the community and any personal/professional email. people prefer reading short emails which doesn't have to be confusing. people dont wanna read AI slop. It sounds nice sure, but lately no one cares about the english language being nice everyone just wants to have a conversation/discussion with an actual human. I personally am gonna just stop fixing grammar, and not care about it! Thanks for listening to my rant. Written by a human, who's still in college, and might not get a job. :/ crying in the corner
