I keep a very tidy inbox, so it's pretty easy for me to notice them and mark them as spam. But I'm curious: is Google just getting worse at detecting spam, or is the spam somehow evolving?

For example, I just got this email:

Sender: william_brown_318@rofopifj.dravixa.space\nSubject: the wagon is in

The body contains tons of literal HTML tags that weren't parsed into actual HTML. Not sure if it was sent as a text mime-type or what, but it takes all of 2 whole seconds for me to mentally note that this is spam.

How is this getting through more often these days?","time":1778615904,"title":"Ask HN: Is Spam getting worse or is Gmail getting worse?","type":"story"}],[47901379,{"by":"visox","descendants":2,"id":47901379,"kids":[47929690,47911753,47909286,47907230,47901903,47901520,47916734],"score":30,"text":"Google trends should have some alpha API as announced https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2025/07/trends-api

i do have many ideas on what i could do with that data but i never got access, wonder if anyone here did and how did you achieve that ?

i also see some alternatives but they arent really good, its either bad data or only relative data as one can see on google trends page.

I try to work on side projects like a lot of other developers.

In last ~10 years I have started 20+ projects and for each project spent anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 months. I have completed just 2 projects which were fairly short(~4 week). So recently when started some big side project, There was almost no chance of me completing it. I was just doing it for fun.

All this changed with AI code assistants. I picked a fairly big project which involved writing crawlers for multiple sites. There was no chance of me completing it, until I started using AI code assistant. It sped up the development by 5-10x(can I call myself 10x developer now?). Completed the project in ~3 weeks.

Curious if others were able to do the same.

(This is not an Advertisement for AI code assistants. These has their own problems. I have less confidence in my product, Code reviews are difficult and I have go and make sure all security best practices are handled.)","time":1766248945,"title":"AI Code assistants has made completing side projects so easy","type":"story"}]]
