College students are lining up at 4:30 a.m. for career fairs, racing to recruiters' booths.

🚀 New React Challenge: Nested Comments
Flattening a comment thread into a single array works until you need to reply to a reply. Then you're faking depth with parent ids, and every edit or delete means rebuilding the whole list. A recursive tree keeps the shape of the conversation and lets you update just the branch that changed. 🧩 OverviewBuild a threaded comments UI: render a recursive thread, then reply, edit, collapse, and delete nodes while every update returns a new tree instead of mutating the seed.👉 https://www.reactchal
The Architecture of Impenetrable Web Security: Why Amiry Design Engineers Decoupled Defense Systems
Most digital agencies treat cybersecurity as an afterthought—an SSL certificate slapped on a shared hosting server running an outdated WordPress installation with 35 third-party plugins. This approach is catastrophic for international organizations and luxury brands. In 2026, automated credential stuffing, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and SQL injection bots crawl the web 24/7 searching for vulnerable attack vectors.At Amiry Design, our security philosophy starts from first princ
Finding Job Openings for Pharmacists Transitioning to Home Medical Care: A Comparison of Job Suppo Pharmacist and Cellwork Pharmacist
Pharmacists who want to start working in home medical care as part of a career change will have more questions to ask before applying than for other types of jobs. Whether the visits are to facilities or individual homes, how many times a month there is night duty, and how many months it takes b
2026 Black List Project Lab

They are Mike Ambs (Falling Forward), Sierra Falconer (Cry For Me, Baby), Georgia Fu (Approximate Joy), Seth Kelman (Vessels), Megan Spatz (North) and Brandon Tyson(Ta Ta Dear).Now in its third year, the program provides creative mentorship and professional support to promising filmmakers as they further develop their fe
Minimum Words, Maximum Impact
I know the source of this mantra. It was one of my online screenwriting students. During a weekly live-chat session. I was going on and on about the importance of writing tight, taut, lean scene description, make it easy on the eye, clean on the page, really getting on my bully pulpit. Then a student typed:Minimum words, maximum impact?Here I had been guilty of the very thing I was decrying, then — boom! The perfect comment. Four words. And maximum impact indeed!Screenplays
Show HN: Superbase – a SvelteKit rewrite of Supabase table editor
I don't think there is a better table editor UX than what Supabase provides, but their pricing is steep and local deployment feels clanky and a hassle.`bunx @xl0/superbase` - no setup, just paste the Postgres connection string into the browser and you get the same experience.You can also pin it to a single connection url, useful for running it in docker as part of your infra.
Show HN: Crewplane, you design and own the workflows, agents run them
I built Crewplane because I wanted more control and flexibility over how my coding agents work together, and a way to trace what happened.Workflow is defined in Markdown, and Crewplane runs the nodes defined in the workflow using native coding CLIs such as Codex and Claude Code. So the control is back to you: different workflows for different tasks with different models, what they depend on, and how they run (parallel or sequential or both). Every input, intermediate output, log, manifest, and f
Modeling a white elephant gift exchange in 140 lines of plain JavaScript
White elephant sounds simple until you try to keep score. Someone steals your gift, so you steal from someone else, who steals from a third person, and nobody remembers how many times the waffle maker has changed hands. I wanted a page that runs on the TV at a party and tracks all of that, so I wrote the rules as a small module with no DOM in it. The rules the code has to followEveryone brings one wrapped gift. Draw a random order.On your turn you either open a wrapped gift or steal one tha

Android Auto is getting a major makeover: 4 changes to know about
My husband and I can’t seem to agree on one thing whenever we’re in the car: the infotainment interface. He’s firmly on Team CarPlay, while I prefer Android Auto and keep finding reasons to defend it. I use it for Google Maps and Spotify on almost every drive, so I notice even the small things that could improve the experience. I’ve often wished Google would refresh
Windows won't let you name a folder "CON" because of this 45-year-old quirk
Microsoft has been around for decades, dating back to 1975 with its BASIC software. BASIC was written for the Altair 8800 microcomputer built by MITS (Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems). Bill Gates and Paul Allen created the software when MITS approached them, needing a programming language for their personal computers. Back then, the brand was referenced
Living and writing in L.A.
Let me say up front, there are advantages for a screenwriter to live in or near Los Angeles. Here are a few key ones:You are where the action is. There’s no better way to keep track of the ebb and flow, ins and outs of the movie business than by living in L.A. as the film industry is a ubiquitous presence.You are where the players are. Agents, managers, producers, studio execs, talent, L.A. is the center of the film business. Your presence in Los Angeles puts you in proximity to these peo

TypeScript `Map` and `Set` Iteration in 2026: Why `downlevelIteration` Still Breaks Production Builds
TypeScript Map and Set Iteration in 2026: Why downlevelIteration Still Breaks Production BuildsThis article was written with the assistance of AI, under human supervision and review.TypeScript's downlevelIteration flag determines how the compiler transpiles Map, Set, and array iteration when targeting older JavaScript runtimes. Without it, production builds silently produce broken code that crashes on iterables at runtime. The default behavior downlevels for...of loops to index-based itera
Build an online code editor in React with a Run button (and keep your API key off the browser)
You've seen the demo: a code editor in the browser, a language menu, a Run button, and the program's output underneath. Most tutorials for it take one of two shortcuts. Some call Judge0 on RapidAPI straight from React, with the key in a REACT_APP_ variable. Others post the code to the public Piston API. Both break:A key in a REACT_APP_ or VITE_ variable is built into the JavaScript your visitors download. Anyone can copy it from the page and spend your runs.The public Piston API has been whiteli
I Finally Made Money From Something I Built ($0 to $152)
I've been building side projects on weekends next to my job for years. Until this week every single one of them made $0. Not anymore haha. What I builtDetent is a React component library. The components install with shadcn and take your theme, so they drop into an existing app without fighting your styles. Some are free, and there's one paid tier with full blocks like onboarding flows and a support inbox. What happenedI posted a 20 second video of the onboarding block on X with one lin
Building and Deploying a Document Change Workflow with React, NestJS, and PostgreSQL
A document update becomes more complicated when a team needs to explain who requested it, why it was necessary, who approved it, and what changed between versions.I recently led development of a company platform built around that workflow. I wrote the project documentation and implemented both the frontend and backend, with support from my team.The platform brings together project documentation, change tickets, review, publication, version comparison, attachments, and notifications.These are som
The Discount Field Refuses Silently: 22 Values Typed Into the Invoice Maker, 12 That Took Effect and 10 That Did Not
I work on OnePassApps, so this is our own product and our own build. Every number below was measured on the live Invoice Maker today, in the visible Chrome on our own machine, signed out, with no account.The Invoice Maker has two discount modes - Percent and Amount - and a field that takes a number in each. What I did not expect was what happens when the number is not one the app can use.There is no error, no warning and no red state. The value is simply not applied. What I typedOne invoice
