Hacker News with Generative AI: Retrospective

Reflecting on Software Engineering Handbook (yusufaytas.com)
One year. May 2024. Back then, we were riding high, celebrating the launch of this Software Engineering Handbook with an amazing trip to Iceland. Five days of glaciers and waterfalls, finally enjoying the fact that we finished up a two year project. We thought we’d cracked it, pouring our hard won experience into a guide for anyone navigating the software engineering business.

Byte Queue Limits – The unauthorized biography (medium.com)
Of the technologies I’ve worked on, Byte Queue Limits, or just BQL, seems the one for which I get the most comments! It’s rather ancient now dating back to 2011, however to my surprise it still seems quite relevant. Anyway, I thought it’d be fun today to look at it as part retrospective and part exposé.

Now lie in it: an uxntal retrospective (xxiivv.com)
Autumn is just around the corner, and when the leaves begin to fall, it will have been four years since the early sketches of a personal computing system which became Uxn. I thought it would be interesting to look back and see what has happened since.
