This reminds of "Shock Tanks" my brother and I used to have. The concept is pretty simple, your RC tank get 3 lives per round, if it gets hit you get shocked.

Very cool!
What's the difference between WinLang and Serverless?
The way I read it is that Winglang combines your IaC and your runtime logic/code. In theory it's pretty neat, I haven't given it a serious try though. I'm not totally convinced that I want my infrastructure definition intermingled with my business logic though.

Hi HN! Allen & Jatin here, co-founders of Revert.dev
Integrations require a lot more engineering time, resources, and ongoing maintenance than you would first expect.
When building your own integrations you have to deal with challenges, such as: - unreliable third party integration endpoints, which fail or hang more often than you think; - monitoring and reliability of the integration code; dealing with different schemas, gotchas, rate-limits of the various APIs you integrate with. - You need to do this all alongside maintaining your own code base.
This is what we’re solving for at Revert.
With Revert you can ship a reliable product integration in under 2 days, and we take care of all of the above and more.
- We current support CRMs such as Salesforce, Hubspot, ZohoCRM & Pipedrive through our APIs.
- We also support Slack (in beta) alongside Discord that will be supported this week. Our roadmap is public — https://github.com/revertinc/revert/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3...
- We’re open-source (https://github.com/revertinc/revert) and want to build the project with the community in the open. If you’d like an integration you can add one & welcome contributions!
Would love to get the community’s feedback.
Do you have any resources for the planning/architecting phase of developing a unified API like this?
I work in a similar space, but for physical hardware, and one challenge we've frequently encountered is the somewhat massive variety of how our vendors handle certain tasks behaviorally within their platform.

This is horribly depressing, to the point where if we're so doomed in the next 10 years I ask:
- Why do I care what happens?
- Why do I go on living?
- Most importantly, what is the solution, or mitigation, or any level of alternative other than accepting defeat?
It's harsh, but I feel that at this point, if you're not offering _some_ kind of solution to this issue, then what is the answer other than to smile and wave as we descend into this "apocalypse".
I understand this may not be a popular approach, but I have to _believe_ that we can avoid this scenario, because otherwise I lose all motivation to even try. Even if all is doomed, I have to try.

Hello, do you have an email address to learn more about the nature of the role? Thanks

not that I particularly disagree with your premise, but alien blue had been somewhat abandonware for quite a while before reddit bought it. It had trouble with basic markdown like tables, let alone new features that made it increasingly less great before reddit bought them out.
In all this news, I completely forgot that I used to use Alien Blue before Reddit acquired it. That was actually what made me try out the official reddit app for a while, before switching to Apollo.
While I was looking at the image and trying to understand, the carousel moved to the next image. It's too fast, and I can't get back to the first image without it immediately switching me to the second image. I can't get it to sit still either and NOT switch to the next image. Some carousels pause themselves when the cursor is hovering over it, but this one did not pause when I did that. The only way I had enough time to digest the information was by right clicking on the image and opening it in a new tab.
