Why did the OP make a comment about the project like he was someone else?

When it's clear he is one of the major contributors to the project?

Because it’s just silly AI generated spam, don’t read too much into it.

aren't these supposed to be bannable offences?

They are but somebody has to bring it to the attention of the HN moderators by emailing them for that to happen.

They are, dang et al deal with it pretty strictly. Which I thank them for.

This was posted earlier this week.

The team behind Windsurf was acquired by Google, but Windsurf remains its own independent IDE somehow.

I'd like to share this resource:

If I was 60 and still had to do any work like this I'd consider myself a failure.

Can we also ban accounts that post racist stuff?

My experience with reporting stuff to mods is that people who post racist stuff do get banned but I also think there's a difference between holding opinions I consider based in racism or having racist outcomes (which I don't report), and posting actually racist stuff (which I do report).

That was what I felt too. Why even need an interview for an acquihire when you have a direct link with the founder/CEO?

To maintain the illusion of meritocracy

Couldn't you ask Claude Code to vibe-code a Swift app?

Do you customize or personalize these at all? Or use it just out of the box? I use gemini for image generation and as an, assistant through my android although not frequently. As a chat assistant the online Google UI is a turnoff personally.

For tone, I prefer efficient — higher signal-to-noise.

In custom instructions I’ll sometimes write something like “tell it like it is.” Interestingly, some models then start with “okay, I’ll tell you like it is…” which makes me wonder whether that’s psychological framing, operational behavior, or both.

Curious why you asked — have you found customization meaningfully changes performance?

Got it.

Since I primarily used ChatGPT, I picked up a bunch of prompts from people sharing it in order to optimize for better results. I don't know if this is relevant anymore as I think they've fixed quite a bit and now you can customize tone and warmth directly.

My prompts were more on avoiding filler, be more direct etc, no emojis etc.

In my case, Instagram eventually got to a point where most of my friends and family stopped posting. And I started following more creators because their content was interesting. These days there are some a few people I follow who are friends and I mostly just send them dumb reels. I see it more as a platform to consume content than keeping up with updates.

That said, I go through cycles of removing the app and reinstalling it later because it gets addictive.

This seems to be a recent popular tool to handle this - https://github.com/tw93/Mole

I also prompt warp/gemini cli to identify unnecessary cache and similar data and delete them
