New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What are some no-code tools for the back end?

Ask HN: What are some no-code tools for the back end? 3 by askjdlkasdjsd | 1 comments on Hacker News. Off the top of my head, I would love an add-on kind of tool that I can point to my database and all manner of CRUD APIs are generated and managed by the tool itself. Although I'm speaking as a developer. Just brainstorming here, what kind of no-code tools can exist for the backend? - Simplified drag-drop schema builder - CRUD API generator on top of the above - Templatized plug-and-play schemas for common use cases, role based user access capabilities, teams, billing system, feature based pricing etc. <-- All of these really have the same-ish playbook in every tech stack, might make sense to abstract it out in a nocode tool What other nocode tools can be built for the backend? I'm specifically talking about backend only, since this is likely the hardest area for nocode to tackle, it would be like automating all of software development itself, or at least laying the ground...

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: AGI Will Be Underwhelming

Tell HN: AGI Will Be Underwhelming 2 by browsergap | 6 comments on Hacker News. When it happens, I think we'll get used to it pretty fast and we'll be like, "Oh, that's all it is." Then everyone can order groceries and plan trips by voice conversation with a smart assistant that actually knows us. And it will become productized and have tiers and specialities but AGI is not going to be any more "OMG my life is changed foreveaah" type watershed than, say, the iPhone. Don't. Believe. The. Hype. That's my take. What do you thinK?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Win10 Power User Resources?

Ask HN: Win10 Power User Resources? 2 by tintintint | 0 comments on Hacker News. It has finally happened and after more than a decade of diving ever deeper into the Linux ecosystem, I am somewhat forced by work to stick with Win 10. Now, configuring Win10 isn't always a breeze. I have moved some of my tasks to WSL and I found some useful Registry tweaks (e.g. changing the window titlebar height). Lucky for me, I have local admin rights. But now I am looking for a more in-depth guide to tweaking the best out of my system. It's a pity that Windows Tools are so often closed source and it becomes hard to see wht they actually change in the system (aside from trust issues). Can you recommend books, websites, anything useful for getting deeper into the relevant workings of Windows for a user that likes to take the most out of their Win10 setup? Or are full Admin Guides the better way to go? An equivalent of the Archlinux Wiki would be heaven, hah! But well...

Ask HN: How to Sell Software? 3 by tingtok | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have spent over a decade building software working as engineer and working with product/Business Analysts in enterprise (FAANG or FAANG alike companies). I can confidently say that I can build software with features that delight customers. However, I don't understand how to sell software. 1. How to find customers? 2. How to sell? Let me know your experience and how you learned to sell software. Cheers.
