2026-11-13T04:55:59ZINFO be wary of the spotlight effect. you feel that everyone's watching you but in reality no one cares as they are busy with thier own stuff.
2026-11-12T19:01:45ZINFO re @hlogdev#101 the image is coming out nice for linkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ai-programming-developerhumor-share-7526682276781449217-3khn
2026-11-12T18:58:56ZINFO re @hlogdev#99 Had a PM friend saying the same thing- code is easy. finding req. is hard.
2026-11-12T15:37:42ZINFO it has done it perfectly. would have taken me time to do.
2026-11-12T15:37:09ZINFO asked the AI to add a small feature to one of my apps
2026-11-12T09:26:08ZINFO changed one line in a rust project. ran cargo build.
2026-11-12T09:24:34ZINFO fail
2026-11-12T07:10:24ZINFO coffee time. There is so much work to do now.
2026-11-11T11:34:46ZINFO if done correctly, it is like an full blown assistant which can do complex tasks on it own. it has got its computer as well.
2026-11-11T09:59:14ZINFO how to grow an account on twitter? what does it take. consistancy? let me try out some things.
2026-11-11T09:14:25ZINFO formated by old windows laptop and now it is Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS. now, I have all three os :-)
2026-11-11T04:58:17ZINFO re @hlogdev#77 I wanted to know how does the conductor feel in terms of work satisfaction? What mental model we can borrow from them to feel good about what we do now?
2026-11-11T04:57:12ZINFO re @hlogdev#76 Are software developers conductors now? we just help shape the output and let the agents work on the code, design, other artifacts etc.
2026-11-11T03:28:30ZINFO storage it is. I can only go deep in things where I have interest. Probably I can look into intersection of AI and storage eg. KV cache, it seems memory is becoming the bottleneck.
2026-11-10T12:53:11ZINFO inference engineering or storage engines- what should i pick to specialize on? My mind says Inference but heart says Storage.
2026-11-10T09:18:33ZINFO someone also suggested editing lines and backdating but looks to me agaist the core principles of the product. #rejected
2026-11-10T09:16:48ZINFO #rejected a GitHub-style consistency graph. it's a streak in disguise, rewards filler lines, and greets new users with empty squares.
2026-11-10T07:27:36ZINFO fixed many UI issues on the everyone screen. Would have taken an hour before but thanks to AI, this is solved. Thank you AI for solving frontend for us!

2026-11-09T14:11:23ZINFO claude is consoling me- No sign-ups yet: 0 new accounts in the last 24 hours, no new tails, no feedback. That’s normal in the first hours; LinkedIn posts spread slowly, mostly through comments.
2026-11-09T09:10:02ZINFO also added a blog on https://hlog.dev/blog/why-im-building-hlog
2026-11-09T09:06:54ZINFO The first version contains a short bio and two links. Also, added the save feature just like twitter bookmarks.

2026-11-08T07:51:25ZINFO codex suggested to have some business model. I don't want it but i feel that just as reddit is great source of traffic for Indie community, can we have some thing there like Ads or something?
2026-11-08T07:49:49ZINFO you can now check it on https://hlog.dev/.
2026-11-08T07:48:30ZINFO Manual testing plan generated by claude- I tested the look and feel, functionality, security stuff.
2026-11-08T07:47:55ZINFO Done with MVP and core projects. Let's test it.
2026-11-08T07:47:20ZINFO added the ability to enable disable a level as public. Also exports. not important for MVP but why not.
2026-11-08T07:46:36ZINFO Addded my fav part: Settings page with some of the configuration options around theme. tokens,
2026-11-08T07:44:39ZINFO Built many other small features related to follow, refer a log, commment. I don't want to make a complete twiiter clone and at the same time don't want a static notepad which nobody looks at.
2026-11-08T07:43:27ZINFO it's diwali(festival of lights) in india. Not much time today as guests at home.
2026-11-08T07:35:49ZINFO You can turn on log levels public. I think this will help the privacy paniacs.
2026-11-08T07:35:12ZINFO alright- let's add some more features. Not everyone whats to log everything to public. It will be built private by default.
2026-11-08T07:32:35ZINFO Initial crud workflows are working fine on local. Deployed and checked. wrangler makes things easy.
2026-11-08T07:31:26ZINFO Auth: Long token + email based identity. cloudfare also offer some security stuff by default turstiles etc.
2026-11-08T07:30:40ZINFO many other features are locked. Reviewed the scaffold by claude. looks good. Reviewd the key entities.
2026-11-08T06:55:31ZINFO Resend is cool. sets up perfectly with cloudflare on domain side. integrated.
2026-11-08T06:54:34ZINFO Email is needed for auth. Codex and claude both are recommmending resend. I have not used it before.
2026-11-08T06:52:51ZINFO claude confirms that cloudflare D1 can store the logs comfortably and no issues on compute on workers.ur
2026-11-08T06:51:48ZINFO the compute and storage stack has what this app needs: grep like search(they have sqlite full text search), cron job setup etc. for some of features like if u want to delete your logs after some days.
2026-11-08T06:49:43ZINFO Nothing against typescript but this is my first backend project on typescript. Mostly worked on frontend typescript.
2026-11-08T06:48:57ZINFO After much discusson and back and forth on the hosting and techstack, typescript(MCP requirement forced it) is finalized.
2026-11-08T06:47:51ZINFO Also paid planis just $5 and includes 10M requests. Good if it gets traction. But i know it will join the 2026 Vibe Coding Graveyard lol.
2026-11-08T06:45:47ZINFO Cloudflare- how are you doing it? Free plan has 100000 requests per day and 10 ms of CPU time per request. Time spent waiting on the database doesn’t count toward the 10 ms, our things like append a line, read a feed stays well under it.
2026-11-08T06:40:41ZINFO Cloudflare is cool. buying the domain is very easy here. What the hell is wrong with Godaddy and namecheap. why their UI is so 90s. Just loading the domain info from DB takes lots of time.
