Ask HN: Is there a name for this kind of developer?
So, I'm not sure what kind of developer I am. I would say that the following is what defines me:- I read tons of technical books and manuals. I don't remember all the details of course, but if at work some problem seems related to a given algorithm/situation that I have read in a book, then I know where to find more answers. I have read pretty much all the "books every software engineer should read" and more esoteric ones- very good Google search skills (now in the AI er

Opening up my SaaS's API turned out to be one of the smartest growth decisions
I run a social media management SaaS called SocialBu, and a while ago, I decided to open up a public API. Initially, I just wanted to support a few power users who kept asking for it, but I didn't expect what happened next.Once the API was live and documented, I started noticing something interesting:- Technical users began signing up specifically for API access. Agencies, marketers with automation workflows, and folks using tools like Zapier or n8n.
- These users converted to paid plans fa

Show HN: Rethinknig Serverless – Services, Observers, and Actors Now Available
Hey HN - Today we launched a new globally available Serverless platform that thinks about simplicity and DX first and foremost. Let us know what you think - try it now for free.Traditional serverless functions are islands. Each function handles a request, does its work, and forgets everything. Need one function to talk to another? You’ll be making HTTP calls over the public internet, managing authentication between your own services, and dealing with unnecessary network latency for simple inter
Ask HN: How do you structure front end workflows before using AI tools?
I've been using AI tools to help with frontend development, but it's been pretty ad hoc so far, mostly generating components on demand without much structure.I’d like to move toward a more traditional and sustainable workflow:
- Start with UI/UX design
- Create a design system from those designs
- Implement components that are reusable across the appBefore even prompting an LLM to write code, I want to establish a solid foundation that makes the AI's output more consistent an

Ask HN: Balancing AI-Assisted Development with Deep Learning as a Founder
I’m a software developer and repeat founder who’s genuinely excited about what AI can do for our industry. In past projects, I’ve relied on AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude Code) to help me write boilerplate, generate suggestions, and speed up routine tasks. But every time I lean on these tools, I notice myself understanding concepts less deeply and becoming a bit “lazy” about fundamental problem-solving. To counter that, I’ve habitually limited my AI usage—kind of lik
