Tell HN: Merry Christmas
2025-12-24 @ 22:56:00Points: 1784Comments: 389
Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope you get some rest and can spend time with people who are dear to you and get to focus on what's important rather than getting lost in stressing about everything having to be perfect.
Also much love to everyone who cannot spend their Christmas with dear people.
To make sure this post meets the relevancy criteria, here is a Wikipedia article about some Christmas (more precisely advent) tradition which I personally really like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_market

There are a variety of shapes that work, but generally bigger+lighter spinners are better. Also incandescent bulbs are the best, but LEDs work too.
They remind me of candle carousels I would see at my grandparents' house during Christmas. Let me know what you think!

Ask HN: How do I bridge the gap between PhD and SWE experiences?
2025-12-18 @ 17:20:23Points: 57Comments: 46
I’m now at a point where I want to merge my scientific background with my engineering experience. However, I’m finding a "missing middle" in the job market. I don't ever see a position that requires and values deep expertise in both.
I enjoy development, but I feel like my scientific training is going to waste. For those who have successfully merged these two paths:
Did you find a "unicorn" role, or did you create one within a company?
How do you market yourself when your two halves feel like they belong to different resumes?
