"Nobody should call themselves a professional if they only know one language".

Presumably he means programming language, but this may apply more generally.


Thats very bad take.

Concepts are above languages.


I would respectively beg to differ.

Getting your hands dirty actively engaged in the practice of building software in multiple languages is needed to get good, diverse sets of experience around what works and why.

Reading books or worse, opinions on HN, just isn’t sufficient to claim a robust and well-rounded resume.


Nowadays languages are huge enough to cover various paradigms and countless concepts

That should enough, right?


If I could add a pile on question, how about bar graphs and line graphs?


Thanks, this is really cool. I can't wait to read more.


yw, I hope you like it... any feedback is of course welcome


I'm sure I'm not the only one who will assume the title is referencing the Haiku OS rather than poetry. Very cool project nonetheless.


Good call, I should have thought about this! Let me see if I can edit the title. Thanks!


Cool tool. I think it could be a bit more polished. I'd like to have the author's name in there as well, and options to immediately share to whatever site I'd like. Also, why not just automatically look up the site on goodreads rather than having the user find the URL?


Reminds me of the glass cases containing the sports section that bars occasionally put above urinals. Maybe that could be a good use case for a very fancy bar somewhere.


I just tried this out--for some reason every number that was mentioned in my audio was not translated into Spanish. So I heard a string of Spanish, then "forty five thousand" or "six point seven percent". Sounded decent past that.


Thanks will look into this


I misread this as 'razing', hahaha.


Me too! I was like woah, I guess they gave up.


I'm glad I'm not the only one


"Even in cultures where the concept of a third gender is celebrated, it is a rare phenomenon"...

As someone who lived in Thailand for a few years, I'm going to tell you that you are totally wrong.


"There are an estimated 314,808 trans people living in Thailand" https://weareaptn.org/

Thailand has a total population of 71.6 million.


Can you share the code that it wrote?
