> Lokuhitige says he works seven days a week, 12 hours a day

The app he's making[1] is an AI-driven notebook for fiction writers. Not changing the world. I don't understand the dedication.

He’s wrapped his identity in being a founder so can’t see the sacrifice/meaningless of it all.

once he is done I’ll clone it with ai over the weekend and showcase it on show hn

Anyone know why it was called the HP-35 if it was the first?

The usual explanation is that it’s got 35 buttons. Whether that’s the true reason I don’t know, but at least the button count checks out!

Now, if someone could explain to me the logic behind the naming of the HP-10, HP-10b, HP-10C and HP-10s, I’d be most grateful...

But a new optical quantum clock may be the solution.

A lovely app -- downloaded!

It's nice to use software, or anything really, where effort has been made to make it beautiful as well as functional. Also it's good to support and highlight good photography.

I met him on this bridge once, he was polishing an old work. He told us that he had the blessing of the owners of the bridge. Other places where he worked, he didn’t have permission.

Yes! English isn't always a great language... I do like the meaning behind it though. You are a brother, even if not in biology, we'll embrace you. It just doesn't work well for genealogists.

Agreed. If things look good then I enjoy looking at them more, and life is to be enjoyed. But more importantly, it's wrong that plain text is always the best way to communicate. A picture is worth a thousand words (often), and a good layout can make things easier to read.

Speaking from a user point of view, I find arguments like this are often disingenuous (I'm not saying that yours is). "Tailoring for the user" normally actually means "tracking the user". Specifically, the passing of UTM parameters from my website session to my app session is something that normally has no benefit to me and I find it repugnant that developers feel entitled to do it.
