Every week for the last 3 months I’ve learned a new trick when it comes to getting whatever LLM I’m using at the time to produce better output. That’s my trade, but lots of HNers have more interesting trades than that.
In my case, only recently I learned the value of getting an LLM to write and refine a plan.md architecture doc first, and for it to break that doc down into testable phases, and then to implement phase by phase.
Seems obvious in hindsight. But it took too long to learn tha

Hey HN,
I'm the maintainer of node-cron (5M+ downloads/month), and I recently built Sidequest.js, a background job runner for Node.js inspired by Oban (Elixir) and Sidekiq (Rails).
It solves some common problems I saw with libraries like node-cron:
- Jobs don’t block your API: they run in isolated worker threads
- No Redis or vendor lock-in: use Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, or MongoDB
- Supports retries, uniqueness, concurrency, snoozing, prioritization
- Comes with a CLI and a simpl
