Ask HN: Does magic link authentication use HTML canvassing? 2 by trinsic2 | 2 comments on Hacker News. Many sites are starting to use magic link auth more often and I am wondering if its a trend to also glean more information from the account holder. I dont like this auth process because it forces me to have to use the email system to authenticate every time which adds to the amount of time it takes to log-in. With Claude.ai, the auth process at least gives you an option to use a code to sign in with after you get the email. The problem is, the email doesn't contain the code. You have to click on a link which opens a web page to gain the code and it appears at that point it wants to do an HTML canvassing operation. I feel like that is a violation of privacy to do this at the point of trying to log into a service I pay for. I'm wondering if I am off base or if anyone notices this, or finds a difference in the process. and if its happening, what can be done about it. Also I wo...

Ask HN: Anyone know of that "levels of AI programming" blog post? 3 by tuvix | 4 comments on Hacker News. I was browsing HN comments a while ago and ran into a wonderful blog on the levels of AI involvement in programming. It started at 0 I think, with no AI involved and went to around 7 where LLMs direct other LLMs and no human is involved. I wanted to reference these levels in the README of an open source project I'm creating as part of it was hand-programmed while using AI as a kind of search engine, while another part was crafted by AI with me reviewing code and providing a spec. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Do I Stop Learning Coding? DSA? 3 by s_u_d_o | 5 comments on Hacker News. Hey. I don’t know how to start this. It’s all over me. I’ve been trying to learn Coding, Data Structures, Algorithms, Design Patterns, Best practices etc… but will I still need that? Am i wasting my time? Can really AI do all this, and actually do it better? Are we in an Era, where one should only need to learn the ‘basics’ of development, so that I can understand some LLM generated code? Where do we go next? How will DEV interviews look like in 5 years? Is LeetCode still a thing now? Did I waste all my time? What happened to those days where we’d spend hours watching youtube videos, taking online bootcamps, reading documentation all just to be able to develop our app or do something. All is thrown to the garbage now? This is a frustration post. I don’t do what to do next. I just loved coding, and enjoyed code-crafting. Anyone has the same crisis? How are you coping? What are you doing next?

Ask HN: How do you search the web programmatically these days? 2 by coreyp_1 | 2 comments on Hacker News. For the first time in a long time, I need to query a search engine programmatically, and found that most of them block the use of curl, etc. So, my question is simple: how do you solve the problem? I've tried searxng with mediocre success, but it seems a bit heavy to have to be running a complete separate service for this one thing that I only need every once in a while. I haven't tried using a service that requires an API key, simply because I'm not sure which direction to go or who to go with. Just thought I would ask here first.

Tell HN: Security Incident at Porter (YC S20) 4 by leetrout | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hug ops to the team. Justin is great and I know they have to be stressed from all of this. Email I got from Porter follows, trimmed for HN character limit. Full text at https://gist.github.com/leetrout/2d172d2b95e8d24af0f3de0d0b03561e --- What happened On April 13th, 2026, the Porter team detected unauthorized activity originating from a stale AWS access key in our infrastructure. Upon detection, we immediately revoked all affected credentials and engaged our incident response processes, which included a comprehensive investigation. Since April 13th, we have seen no further evidence of unauthorized activity within Porter networks and systems. Working closely with Cloudflare and Amazon, we have substantially completed the investigation of our environment and are continuing to prioritize supporting customers in their response efforts. We have determined that the threat actor operated between 03:23...

Ask HN: How did you get your first users with zero audience? 3 by arikusi | 1 comments on Hacker News. Solo developer, no audience, no network, no community presence.I've shipped working products (open-source) but every distribution channel has a cold start problem. you need traction to get traction. Even posting about your work requires reputation you can only build by posting. For those who built something with no existing audience to launch to: what specifically worked to get your first real users? Less interested in theory, more in "I did X and it actually moved the needle."
