alt Hacker NewsThere is no substance. It's navel-gazing dribble.
The "about" section of the website is equally vacuous:
SmolNero is a philosophical startup rooted
in first-principles thinking.
We explore how humans relate to technology—
how we speak to it, depend on it, thank it,
and sometimes forget it’s there at all.
We don’t claim expertise. We see ourselves
as translators—working at the crossroads of
emotion and programming, curiosity and care

There have always been snake oil salesmen, for awhile they had to put the effort into knocking on your door peddling MLMs, now they're making more impressive snake oil, but vacuous, with LLMs.
Seems to be run by a married couple of (maybe) burnt out account managers. That, in combination with some AI help, explains the empty "LinkedIn slop" writing style I think.
It's not often I comment on blog posts, but this is honestly one of the most meaningless blogs I've ever read (not counting those fully AI-generated SEO ones). I don't get why it ended up so high on Hacker News; it has an interesting title I guess, but pretty much no substance.
