A.L.I.G.N.E.D. Self-Diagnosis
Discover what's quietly draining your performance
What it does
High-performing software engineers can look fine externally while their performance system quietly degrades. A.L.I.G.N.E.D. Self-Diagnosis helps you identify patterns that may be draining your focus, capacity, and performance. Built from 700+ conversations with software engineers and tech leaders. Free, takes a few minutes, and designed specifically for engineers and tech leads.
Take the free Alignment Diagnostic: 14 questions across 7 levers that pinpoint where high performers quietly plateau — with your personalized profile.
14 clicks. ~4 minutes. No typing required. You'll get a scored profile across the 7 levers that decide whether high performers stay sharp, or quietly plateau. Answer the way it actually is at 9pm on a Tuesday, not the way you'd put it in a perffrom engineeringpeakimpact.com

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
