Screenwriting 101: Nancy Meyers
“My first draft was exactly 250 pages. I didn’t have brads long enough to get through the script. It took me about eight or nine drafts to edit. How do you do it? It’s impossible to see what it is at first. You just keep taking away and taking away, and it begins to shape up. You just keep following the story.”--Nancy MeyersFor 100s more articles in the Screenwriting 101 series, go here.The Protagonist’s Journey: An Introduction to Character-Driven Screenwritin
Job market showed signs of life in October, in an otherwise disappointing year
All told, 10 months into 2026, the U.S. economy has created 861,000 jobs so far this year, which remains an underwhelming total.<img src='https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1715929344430-83e121770bb2?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wyMzg1fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8M3x8Sm9iJTIwTWFya2V0fGVufDB8fDJ8fDE3MTYyMjEzMDd8MA&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=1080' />

Job Openings Are Rising, but Hiring Is the Slowest Since 2013. But How?
Employers are posting millions of open jobs while hiring sits at its slowest pace in over a decade, and that contradiction is sending mixed signals to SPY investors caught between steady paychecks and a Fed that just made hiring more expensive.<img src='https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1675813914317-6fd8410b209b?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=MnwyMzg1fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8MTR8fEpvYiUyME9wZW5pbmdzfGVufDB8fDJ8fDE2NzYyMDI1MTE&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=1080' />

Similar But Different
Or Precedent and Analogy. However you refer to it, it’s how Hollywood operates.Remakes. Reboots. Sequels. Prequels. Shequels.Why do Hollywood studios choose to go this route with such familiar material? Why not fill their development slates with bold original projects full of fresh ideas and innovative stories?That would run entirely counter to the working ethos which informs the studio system decision-making process, a business mantra that can best be summed up in this manner: What they
Ask HN: Is it still worth building and documenting projects the "old way"?
Just curious what folks think.I've personally learnt a lot and benefitted greatly career-wise from building and showcasing projects in communities like Reddit and Discord, as well as blogging about them -- even though none of my work was ground-breaking per-se.Do you folks think non-senior engineers can still build presence and gain employment opportunities this way? If not, what needs to change now?
Making Immersive LLM Chat Experiences More Accessible
I have had the privilege of helping to improve the accessibility of multiple immersive LLM chat experiences in the course of my career. Now I want to share this knowledge with you.Accessibility is a core part of a functional digital experience. As the LLM chat pattern continues to spread like wildfire across the web, we risk excluding people if these experiences are not built with accessibility as a core consideration. It is also worth re-mentioning what “exclusion” means here: It’s the loss of

LifeOS: Building and Shipping a Full-Stack App the DevOps Way
IntroductionI built LifeOS because I wanted one place for my goals, the projects that move them forward, and the tasks I need to do today. Most apps I tried did one of those well and ignored the other two.It started as a frontend app and it's now a React app having a FastAPI backend in one Docker container, with Postgres on Supabase, authentication through Firebase, and a GitHub Actions pipeline that tests everything and pushes the image to GitHub Container Registry.

Automating the AWS Console with an AI Agent: Everything Worked Except Four Save Buttons
What I didAs part of a server migration, I let an AI agent drive its built-in browser against the AWS Lightsail console and a payment provider's admin panel. The boundary between "safe to delegate" and "a human must click this" turned out to be much sharper than I expected, so here is a record of what worked, what got rejected, and why. What workedSurprisingly many operations went through end to end:Instance creation: platform tab → blueprint → plan radio button → name field → create
Add AI video generation to a Next.js app: route handlers, spend caps, polling and webhooks
Disclosure: I work on Revana, a pay-as-you-go API for image and video models. The code uses its SDK (npm install revana, MIT) and REST API, but the structure applies to any video API you put behind a web app.Putting a "Generate video" button in a Next.js app sounds like one fetch. In practice video generation has three properties that shape the whole design:It's slow. A 5-second clip takes one to several minutes. A route handler that waits for it will hit your platform's function time limit, and
