Protecting Exploration in an Efficient System

I'm currently thinking about ways to protect exploration inside systems. Like making sure an exploration budget stays. Do people have good solutions for that?

My friend wants to learn software engineering and eventually land a job at FAANG / big corp. Trouble is, they have zero engineering or leetcode experience. They also dropped out of their bachelors degree a decade ago. Do I point them to a intro Python book? Something else?

Ask HN: Why are the upvote arrows so small?

The .votearrow element on HN is 10x10px: .votearrow { width: 10px; height: 10px; border: 0px; margin: 3px 2px 6px; background: url("triangle.svg"), linear-gradient(transparent, transparent) no-repeat; background-size: 10px; } On mobile, I keep tapping the title instead of the arrow. I've been running this override via Stylus for a while: .votearrow { width: 40px; height: 40px; margin: 0; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; background-size: 16px; cursor: pointer; }

Ask HN: How Do You "Not Write Any Code by Hand" with a Token Budget?

With some corporate environments going from "tokenmaxxing at all costs" to now setting strict token budgets for agentic development: How is one supposed to adhere to a managerial / leadership instruction of "use AI for everything" but even more than that: "you shouldn't be writing code by hand"? It feels like this is a Russian roulette scenario. As long as you have the right harness, framework, skills, prompt, etc. to make the output as deterministic as possible AND know exactly what you're supposed to be building: you get a great output that meets acceptance criteria & solves the problem. None of this is standardized and concrete tasks don't currently have predictable pricing (i.e., "Two new CRUD endpoints with tests are $1.43"). So what's stopping performance reviews from valuing what you can deliver ONLY with AI rather than what you can deliver with AI assistance?

Definitely one of those "20 minute adventure gone wrong" projects where all I wanted initially was a quick wireless rubber ducky for bitlocker keys and the like and then I kept adding stuff like AES-256..... Currently working on adding WebAuthn/FIDO support because the hardware is already there and scope creep is a lifestyle at this point. Would love feedback, especially on the security side. Repo and PCB files are fully open source.
