Hi ofjcihen, where can I learn more about your professional services?

I use this account as an outlet not tied to my actual consulting work so unfortunately I can’t point you to that.

Also, the way I do business is more along the lines of “word of mouth” if that makes sense.

I can tell you though that it’s nothing special. I lead IR operations through compromise to recovery and also train. It’s a “let’s get you out of this and make sure it doesn’t happen again” approach.

Thanks!

I would enjoy a brief exchange, can you hit me up at <username> at <username> dotnet?

Another day, another AI-related thinkpiece

(that people upvote to post their own thinkpieces in the comments)

This is the HN way. Never is there actual discussion about the contents of an article. Instead, a Hacker News will read the headline and will write a diary post in the comments.

Musk must be chronically surrounded by yes-men.

What is a correct, bug-free program?

...It's one that does what a specific set of humans want. There's no other useful definition. One man's feature is another's bug.

It logically follows that there must be a human review step. How else would you know what the human wants, with sufficient detail?

Otherwise, there's an infinite number of undesired programs with passing test suites that AI can generate for you.

Have you perceived a market shift for freelancers given the rise of AI coding?

It seems to me that sadly, paying for getting a few isolated tasks done is becoming a thing of the past.

No slowdown that I've seen - my style of freelancing is pretty long-term though, clients I've known and worked with for many years.

Every "how I use Claude Code" post will get into the HN frontpage.

Which maybe has to do with people wanting to show how they use Claude Code in the comments!

Suggestion, don't use your pinky. I haven't used it for over a decade. Instead, move your whole arm as a unit, and primarily use your index finger. It takes some adaptation, but movement is better than stillness the vast majority of times.

As for the tendinitis, have you tried physical therapy for your fingers? Whenever I've had a stupid day of overusing the thumb with my phone, I wrap the smallest possible elastic band around my thumb, and do some curls. Slow and controlled. The mixture of force, movement and stretching feels great, and the issue is gone.

Here is an example band https://www.decathlon.es/es/p/banda-elastica-5-kg-cross-trai... the important part is that it's really thin and light. It should look like a string, not a flat band.

Kinesis Freestyle2. 100 bucks, it's been around for a long time.

I have a pair of Freestyle2 keyboards, both are over a decade old. I strongly recommend the V3 tenting kit. You can get a refurb USB Freestyle2 with the V3 kit for $70 direct from Kinesis.

Good coincidence, yesterday I switched to a split keyboard. I had been programming since 2011.

Main reason for my switch is that I felt that my shoulders have a wider stance than before. I don't know if it's because of an improvement in fitness (I do a lot of shoulder and back work), or maybe with age I lost a bit of shoulder internal rotation mobility.

Either way, the learning curve was like a few minutes for me. Guess it's a perk of experience and the habit of touch typing.

Yes. I'd swear that people that unfortunately fall into RSI also fall into a negative cycle of moving less and favoring a static position at all levels - fingers, wrists, shoulders.

Our bodies love movement and it's often a recipe for solving all sorts of issues.
