    I’m one of those people. I loved Ergodox, switched to Moonlander but didn’t like it, tried out Voyager and stuck with it. Voyager is not even a very ergonomic keyboard, but it’s go…

    > See above. I assume what you are upset about is that rich fans are the ones going. I'm upset that artists make the tickets affordable for different groups, and their fans want to…

    Fewer people go to concerts, fans can’t afford the tickets, less connection with the artists, less interest in music overall. Artists lose, even if they get paid and all the ticket…

    I wonder if at some point we'll see a hockey stick adoption of self-driving cars. For now every new city is worth a blog post, eventually they'll allow intercity drives. Will inter…

    For me it was: - most posts I saw on Facebook were from my friends - Instagram was full of photos from my friends - on Twitter I mostly saw tweets from people I knew in person or o…

    What's the alternative? Are you suggesting other LLM providers don't charge high price? Or that they don't make mistakes? Or that they provide better quality? We're talking about d…

    Will they? Will someone have enough time, skill and dedication to maintain it? I don’t think using AI will by itself make a big enough difference, it’s still a lot of work to maint…

    Let’s say I listen to 10h a month of a single artist, nothing else. So 100% of my payment (minus Spotify take) should go to that artist. Let’s say you listen 90h to another artist,…

    Well, if I listen to a shuffle radio then the artists I listen to will get paid, right? Which I’m fine with, it’s not that I want to support one specific artist (I can buy their al…

    I’d love to see a streaming service where my payment goes to artists I listen to. Spotify pays 70% of their music revenue to publishers based on the total number of listens. All re…

    Nobody writes about their work thinking the whole world will read it. They write it for their friends, maybe a small group of regular readers, also for themselves. I for one really…

    Absolutely, the moment I saw „95% of Slack core functionality” I stopped believing the author knows what he’s talking about

    I think it means parallel branches. Normally in git you can use one branch at a time. With agentic coding you want agents to build multiple features at the same time, each in a sep…

    Heroku runs on AWS though, doesn’t it? They just package it. I don’t think it’s impossible for them to survive. Salesforce bought them more than 10 years ago and did little to supp…

    I actually enjoy having mobile apps for lots of use cases – travel, news, entertainment, utility bills, banking. I have probably around 100 apps on my iPhone right now and I'm fine…

    I’ll never understand why they ruined GitHub. They had everything they needed - the one place in the world where 99% of open source projects were hosted, where all the discussions …

    I don't understand how adding an ad to every single skill is a good idea: https://github.com/garrytan/gstack/commit/9d47619e4c72136574... It just unnecessarily clutters the context…

    It's really not that simple. Numerous times I've seen promotions going to people who were visible but didn't do the actual work. Those who share the achievements on Slack, those wh…

    It’s totally different. People have to obey laws and contracts because there are consequences if they don’t, there are fines, arbitrage, courts. What happens if AI agent you run ca…
