Ask HN: How can I get my 7-year-old started with web development?

Today I asked her if she wanted to try writing code and she lit up.What resources, tools, services, etc do other parents recommend to help me and my daughter started?For those who have introduced kids to programming, what resources, tools, or services would you recommend to help
Show HN: AI-native browser game that users can craft unlimited 3D items
Most games have limits. You can only use preset features, need coding for customization & adding mods, require expensive extra devices. We wanted to remove those barriers.<p>That’s why we are building space zero—a browser based 3D world powered by AI. We plan to build players can freely mix items to generate unexpected creations with unique properties and sounds. Also the world itself is dynamically generated, evolving endlessly.<p>I hope to get any feedbacks or comments :)

Ask HN: In 2025, How Are You Finding Jobs Outside of LinkedIn as a Freelancer?
It feels like everyone is a developer these days! I swear, even my Uber driver last week was learning React between rides.For those of us who have been freelancing for a while, it’s getting harder to stand out. LinkedIn has become a mix of "Open to Work" banners and recruiters ghosting after one message. Job boards? A race to the bottom. Cold emails? Feels like screaming into the void.---> So, in 2025, how are you actually landing freelance or contract gigs?- Are niche communities o

Show HN: RemoteLiz – Global Search Engine for Remote Jobs
Hello HN!I built RemoteLiz — a global search engine for remote jobs that are programmatically verified on being real and actually hiring. Unlike most remote job boards, RemoteLiz crawls company career pages directly, and I manually verify whether each company is legit and actively hiring (That'll be automized).Backstory Time!!I’ve been working remotely for over eight years, and when I recently looked for a new remote job, I kept running into the same problem: job listings claiming to be “re
Ask HN: Alternative to VS Code?
I am on Windows 11, with WSL2. I have been a user of VS Code for a few years. And I was quite happy with it. I have yet to find another editor with the same level of integration with the languages I work with.But since the last few weeks, I noticed a change of behavior. The VS Code Remote Server in the WSL starts to eat all the memory. I used to limit my WSL to 4GB of memory, I increased it to 8GB, and it still fills it up, and the swap, causing a huge disk load, making the whole computer extra
Show HN: I made my commercial clipboard manager open source because it's right
Hey HN,Clipboard managers handle sensitive data such as passwords, personal notes, API keys, etc. To trust one you need to be sure that it doesn't send your data to third parties or store it on remote servers.With closed-source apps, you have to take the developer’s word for it. As a software engineer, I don't like that. Transparency matters.So, I decided to make my commercial clipboard manager open source. Anyone can inspect the source code, verify that data stays local and never leav
What should I expect from moving tech jobs from USA to Europe?
11 yoe Senior Software Developer here, I'm working at a non FAANG job, 180k. I'm looking at moving to Europe in the next few months. The salaries look about 1/3 of what I make, and yet the cost of living seems to be the same with higher taxes. While I'm willing to sacrifice that to move, I'm wondering if there's a best of both worlds approach? Perhaps get a FAANG job and relocate first day? It would be nice to just keep my job and work remote late nights, but I thin
