In November 1954, IBM's FORTRAN report promised to "virtually eliminate coding and debugging." Hand coding went away. Debugging stayed, and there are 180 million developers now. @hackernoon ran my essay on what AI changes this time, and what it doesn't: hackernoon.com/programming-h…

Copying a trader doesn't give you their results. Here's the open-source Claude Code toolkit I built to check traders before copying them. #copytrading #claudecode...Show more

#RSS breaking is still a real bug in 2026. I love that RSS has survived long enough for that to remain true. Sorry about the downtime. hackernoon.com/feed and all topic feeds are operational again. A few of my favorites: hackernoon.com/tagged/hacker… hackernoon.com/tagged/ai/fee… hackernoon.com/tagged/scienc…
