Easily one of my favourite "tech" TV shows. But now I'm curious, has anyone recently found something similar to HCF that they similarly enjoyed? I've never found anything I've enjoyed quite as much as HCF.

My initial fish likelihood score was 7% and I couldn't get it past 12% without looking up what a fish looks like. I learned a lot about myself via this app, so thank you.
Gemini for me has been such a breath of fresh air in contrast to 2025 Internet, with so many ads, grift and now AI slop.
Back when I first discovered Gemini, I wanted to create a space for people to have a voice without needing to run their own server, so I built Station (https://martinrue.com/station). I've been running it ever since.
Gemini in general, and specifically folk who use Station regularly, make it a friendly, throwback-to-the-90s vibe, and I still value it a lot.
Gemini is one of those things I see pop up and tell myself I should look into it more and then it fades into the back of my mind.
Anyone have any hints on getting more use out of it or ways to make it more present in my day to day.
I made the first (and still popular) "social network" 4 years ago. Still going strong. More info: https://martinrue.com/station
Reading this I totally feel the hacker vibes that carried me through my teens. Just sitting down and building something cool for the fun of it. Nice work! I once did something similar in C to create a 2d isometric training campus where I could teach others C on a whiteboard. I made the walls in Paint, just like you mentioned! One of the most fun things I ever made.
