Tell HN: I haven't finished a single project 100%

Hacker News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 11:25am

Right now I have over 10K tasks written down across all my projects. If I completed one task every day, it would take me 30 years to complete all of them. But when I do a task, I get new ideas and write down a few more new tasks. My task list will never end. The number of tasks in it only grows every day.

Writing down a task doesn’t mean I have to do it. It just frees up mental space. When I write something down, I don’t spend time assigning priorities or deadlines. An idea comes up, I save it to a file right away, and I’m done thinking about it.

Ask HN: How to Deal with "File Naming Problem"?

Hacker News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 11:14am

Frequently when I download something, the filename might be "Full.pdf" or "Book.pdf" rather than "[ActualTitleofBook].pdf"

If I go back to look for the file, it's likely to get lost so I'll probably just go hunt for the original PDF again online to download

Is this a problem to you or should filenames actually not contain anything about the subjects (like reflecting metadata)?

I guess my "solution" is manually requesting more changes of filenames from people until it catches on as a convention, unless someone convinces me that the random naming I see is fine for reasons I'm missing

Show HN: Chuddy, self-hosted media downloading, translation and OCR Telegram bot

Hacker News - Fri, 05/15/2026 - 11:08am

My latest project, about 60% of the codebase was written with Z.ai's GLM-5.1 model. It's basically a Telegram bot that allows for embedding/downloading media easier within group chats. Absolutely 0 telemetry and you're free to edit the code as you wish. I know this is so small and stupid compared to the cool stuff I read here every day, but I'm very proud of my accomplishments as I had to learn a lot to get this to work as intended. Anyways enjoy ^^
