Ask HN: Generalists, when do you say "I know enough" about any particular topic? 8 by AbstractH24 | 20 comments on Hacker News. The idea is generalists know a lot about everything and when to pass it off to a subject matter expert. In 2025, with everything in tech changing by the minute, I’m realizing I need to set boundaries about how deep I go on any particular topic. But I’m unsure how. Particularly if I don’t want to get left behind as things continue to evolve. Curious how other folks approach this?

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I made a generative online drum machine with ClojureScript

Show HN: I made a generative online drum machine with ClojureScript 15 by chr15m | 6 comments on Hacker News. After two years of development, I'm super excited to release Beat Maker! This is my take on what I hope is the best free, web-based drum machine. My goal was to build something that was not only fun and easy to use for beginners but also powerful enough for serious producers. I did extensive research on existing drum machines, analyzed their UX, and tried to build something that adds something new. It's a nearly 100% client-side app, written in ClojureScript, and is a PWA so you can install it to your home screen for an app-like experience. Besides the standard grid editor, Beat Maker has some unique features that I think HN readers might find interesting: - Procedural sample generation. One annoying thing about writing beats is searching through folders full of samples. I wanted to improve this and so I added the ability to generate new samples with a single click, ...

New top story on Hacker News: My Workflow Is 70% AI, 20% Copy-Paste, 10% Panic. What's Yours?

My Workflow Is 70% AI, 20% Copy-Paste, 10% Panic. What's Yours? 9 by jamessmithe | 10 comments on Hacker News. Being an analyst I need to research about the market and work accordingly. With the help of ChatGPT, perplexity and Gemini, I get done 70% of my research work. The rest of the 30% is just pure brainstorming. Then if I need some graphics then I use Canva for designing them. I get the images from them. Sometimes, I create ppts too using it. If I need any videos then i usually use tool like fliki, Lunabloom Ai or invideo to generate video. These tools give me good quality AI generated videos. Then nowadays, AI is also available on social medias. It makes the job easier for me. So basically, Most of my work is completed by AI. The one thing I need to do properly is to give them proper instructions. How do you go about it?

Nepal Prime Minister Resigns. Parliament / Ministires set on Fire. 12 by njsubedi | 2 comments on Hacker News. Amidst protests by Gen-Z against yesterday's inhumane killing of 19 student protesters, the country's capital is on fire. The prime minister of Nepal has resigned, and fleed on an army helicopter - probably abroad. Many other ministers have been evacuated. The parliament building, ministries, and all of the top political parties have been burnt down. Submitted this because yesterday evening there was a post and many of you were concerned for Nepal.
