Sadly I don't think the outlook is very positive on that. I saw an article from McKinsey about the Himalayan country of Bhutan which has famously put restrictions in place to keep the country hea…

Don't get it twisted, no politician wants an educated populace.

The best code is no code. The second-best code is the code I delete. My favorite JIRAs are the ones I prevent from being worked on in the first place because they were unnecessary. The ideal prompt is…

HN is a place where it's legitimate to ask those kinds of questions. The site has a high concentration of advanced practitioners -- in my experience it is not uncommon for the creator of a techno…

Repeat after me: most software spends the majority of its lifetime in the maintenance phase. Repeat after me: it follows that most of the money the software makes occurs during the maintenance phase. …

Ordinarily I would agree, and I'm generally speaking not a fan of dredging up quotes from 20 years and holding people accountable to them. I make an exception for Mark because he never changed hi…

Oh, UO...such good memories. I remember biking down to Cybersmith in Palo Alto to buy pre-paid time since I wasn't old enough to have a card. Used to rock it on the Napa Valley shard back in the …

"But don't worry, I assure you I still intend to personally become wealthy. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter!"

Note for the downvoters: this is literally what he said.

Not impressed -- when the AI starts making everyone break for fika , THAT is when we'll know that AGI is within striking distance!

> The free market is only ever enforced in the direction that suits the US I mean, come on. If it was free in both directions, the US might lose sometimes!! Sigh. It's so sad. Stuff like thi…

For me it's similar to having red tests in my build - it causes me a lot of anxiety to see all the breakage. Plus it shows down shipping. So now I just delete them, feel better already.

> Was there really no internal discussion from a code review at least? This seems hard for me to believe. >The outlined story feels unfortunately very believable to me. 100% agree here - we se…

I suppose. That said I didn't anticipate the negative response. I have a fair amount of gallows humor around parents and father due to my own experiences in life, sometimes that dark humor doesn&…

Thank you for your honesty, this is pretty brave. On the other hand...this feels like a situation where possibly you should not have said anything at all? The fact that you're on HN responding fe…

Yeah dude, keeping an amphibious rodent within the city, you know, for domestic? That ain't legal either.

Just because we're film enthusiasts doesn't make us SAPS!

I feel like all the things they said are true...and have been known since the 20th century.

Right, I mean...sure. That all makes sense. But now look at all the changes happening since the composition of SCOTUS changed. It was pretty much guaranteed that would happen with a Trump win. And yet…

I muse on this as well but recently I'm struck that the entire conversation is something of a distraction. Everyone is focused on the current administration, what they're doing right or wron…

Meta-observation: GitHub's quality is so bad that Mitchell has to clarify in his writeup which recent outage he is talking about!!!

Reading the write-up again, this really struck me: It’s not a fun place for me to be anymore. I want to be there but it doesn't want me to be there. I want to get work done and it doesn't w…
