This is my opinion is a great way to read HackerNews, more like a newspaper organised by dates which makes it easy to catch up on the news when you’re away on vacation or for a work trip.
Dark mode is a feature request, but these days Dark Reader makes it possible on most browsers, HyperWeb for Safari on iOS can do it for iPhone users

I'm looking for an opportunity to work with passionate people on large-scale, innovative projects.
Thats very true, I used taskfile personally and professionally for a few projects and encoutered some problems I tried to solve with this project. I even tried to contribute there, but it was not that easy, since I am not that fluent in go
maybe problems is the wrong term, lets call it features I was missing.
- without docker images in tasks tooling was not always the same on different machines
- a docker image that can be used for gitlab ci
- caching on CI systems was a huge effort, requiring to specify all .task directories and build directories
- limited includes of other build files, no nesting or loops, making project style taskfiles not possible
- the cwd of includes is not relative to the reference taskfile
and there are some, which are not solved yet in hammerkit, but planned:
- detect changes in cwd during commands, for example with `cd ..`
- a service definition, allowing to use databases with some healthchecks to detect startup delays
- limiting cpu/memory of build steps / limiting tasks that are executed parallel by resource available
FWIW, a little experimented I just ran showed me that with simple layers the cold start time of my little 3MB Go app was <100ms, using the Docker image `amazon/aws-lambda-go:1` instead took ~1500ms.

I wrote them again a week later. Still got no response. Then I contacted the HR people on LinkedIn and got mostly rejections - but one interview, actually. So I totally agree, you have to follow-up. Didn't mention that in the article.
It would be nice to look back at a decade of blogging, but I only started like ~3 years ago. It has many, many benefits: Practicing written communication, organizing one's thoughts, build up credibility, learn things in-depth by teaching etc.
Now that I think about it, actually, publishing anything in general. Working out in the open. I often kept side project to myself. I should have just open sourced that (did that for some projects after the fact).
