Ask HN: What are the best coding related MOOC / Course platforms these days?

Hacker News - Fri, 03/14/2025 - 7:20am

Hey there, I started learning how to code in 2010. Back then, the courses on Udacity were expensive but really good. I used Egghead. Edx. SQLMastery, TylerMcGinnis' React courses and many more to be an intermediate programmer skilled enough to run a SaaS product all by myself

What are the good code / technology / devops related learning platforms that are still good or people using nowadays? I need to level up as a programmer for the age of AI and would love to know what people are finding useful these days, the signal to noise ratio online has really massively changed and so it would be nice to get newer recommendations if this post catches on. Thank you!!

Show HN: Quickly Check your Internet Speed without ever leaving your tab

Hacker News - Fri, 03/14/2025 - 6:44am

Hi guys

I created this initially for myself and seeing the doubts I used to check my internet speed at least once a day just because I sometimes found my ISP non reliable.

I see there are amazing services that are used like speedtest.net by ookla or fast.com by netflix but those are commercial speed with optimized servers and this led me to think what if I could just try a different algo to get a more real speed to what I get..hence I introduce 2 modes in this tool, one is standard which is real life speeds and other is commercial which is what we get closer to ookla style speed test results.

I will be also doing a technical article on this and how the tool works within a week or 2, until then this is the short story.

I would love for you to try it or you can completely discard it if its not up to your style of work or doesn't fit in your workflow.

See ya fellow HNers.

Show HN: I Built an AI Tool to Summarize Tech News – Would Love Feedback

Hacker News - Fri, 03/14/2025 - 6:37am

Hey HN,

I built Glimpsy – an AI-powered automation tool that summarizes the most interesting articles from top tech and business publications. The goal is to make it easier for founders, investors, and tech enthusiasts to stay informed without drowning in long articles.

Check it out on X (Twitter): https://x.com/gglimpsy

Why I Built This

I kept running into the same problem: too much content, not enough time. Most tech news is bloated with filler, and by the time you extract what matters, you’ve lost minutes (or hours).

Glimpsy cuts through the noise. It delivers quick, actionable summaries of: • Startup & VC news (funding rounds, acquisitions) • AI & disruptive tech (OpenAI, Google, Tesla) • Stock market & macro trends • Cybersecurity, fintech, and more

It’s 100% Free – Just Looking for Feedback

I’m testing whether this is actually valuable for busy founders, engineers, and investors. Would love your thoughts: • Would you use this? • What’s missing? • How do you currently keep up with tech news?

Appreciate any feedback. Let’s make news consumption smarter.
