I'm from Ukraine and started reading Hacker News about five years ago. At first, I understood almost nothing. I didn’t use a translator — partly because I was lazy, and partly because I wanted to see how much I could figure out just from context.

So I kept reading. I would see the same words appear in different posts and comments, and slowly, I began to understand their meaning. Sentence structures became clearer, and I started to “feel” the language. Eventually, I stopped being afraid of reading in English altogether.

I didn’t learn from a teacher or a course — just from the internet, and mostly from here.

Now I write posts, share my projects, and even chat with other devs here — all in English. It still feels surreal sometimes.

Have any of you learned English (or another language) in a similar way — just by immersion, without formal study?

Also: thank you, HN.

I think we're tired of copying and pasting our codes and sharing links using PasteBin, GithubGist, or Slack. What if you could share the codes without copying the link and share them right from your favorite editor? That was the motivation for creating TurboGist.

Right now, it's still in the MVP stage, and I'm trying to gather feedback from developers like you. It's available as a beta in the VS Code Extension store.

Can you guys check this out? It'd help me a lot. You don't need to pay any penny, 100% FREE.

However, I'm working on introducing a self-hosted feature. Besides, a better alternative to PasteBin or GithubGist.

Looking for your input on:

- How this would fit your workflow?

- Must-have features or integrations (e.g., GitHub Gist, PasteBin, etc.)?

- Pain points in your current code-sharing process?

- Do you have features in your mind?

I am very curious to know what others have been up to during this year when it came to reading, gaining knowledge or developing new perspectives.

I am on a lookout for maybe the top 3 books you read this year that changed you in some way. Hopefully the list and the discussions that follow, help me pick up a few of those things in 2025.

Cheers!","time":1735130329,"title":"Ask HN: What are the best books you read in 2024?","type":"story"}]]
