Ask HN: Would you (do you) use an unsafe HTTP API?**
What I mean by "unsafe" is that the API lacks protection from the lost update[1] problem, and the answer is obviously "yes".
APIs that implement protections (like If-None-Match and the ilk) aren't uncommon, but they are the minority as far as I can tell by perusing documentation over the years. Why? It seems inevitable that lost updates have been causing problems, but perhaps never at a level that rises to the level of doing something about it?

Do you want Quotation (estimated price)?**
When a businessman or an indie developer deals with his/her customer, a quotation (estimated price) is often required. Even in most situations there's no response to it, and you get annoyed to write it by adjusting numbers again and again to different customers.
The question is, which I want to know its answer from you,
if a plugin/site/app helps you generate quotations using default templates, which let you take more time on real business/development, at the same time not ignore ... ⌘ Read more

Ask HN: Problems You Frequently Encounter
My co-founder and I have just closed a chapter in our lives and are about to embark on a new set of challenges. Before we get ahead of ourselves and build something no one needs, I would love to hear if there are:
1) any problems you frequently encounter that you would love to see go away
2) any tools you currently use that feel overly bloated and complex
Feel free to answer in the comments below or use the following form if you prefer: https://tally.so/r/wvBEKv

Ask HN: Real life code task before HR interview. Fishy?**
I recently applied to a young tech company, and they initially told me it would take time to process my application due to the high volume of submissions. Then, suddenly, a day later, I received an email stating that due to the volume of applications, they are changing their recruitment process. They now want me to complete some coding tasks that mirror real-life scenarios one might expect to encounter in the role. So far, so good. However, this comes before any HR i ... ⌘ Read more
