Vcs are some of the dumbest people I have ever interacted with. Full stop no exceptions. They are luck, confirmation bias and survivor bias weaponized.

Well this just created a lot of work for me. Everything’s turning to shit at an alarming rate.

No I have a few privacy plugins/adblock but they all work fine with YouTube normally. I tried disabling everything. All the standard debugging tests.

The most irritating thing for me now is that YouTube doesn’t work in my browser anymore. Clearly being a/b tested because sometimes it does, and sometimes it spews out thousands of…

I use this kind of opinion as my idiot bat signal now. It’s so obviously untrue when someone starts spouting this nonsense you know they are a very feelings based decision maker.

lol. All the competent folks I knew left. They bled talent like crazy with return to office. Everyone figured that was the point of it… all that’s left of the groups I worked with …

When I last compared it to mypy a few months ago adding typechecking to an old project that had types but I had for some reason never actually run a typechecker on it: * Was overwh…

I’ve gotten 0 production usable python out of any LLM. Small script to do something trivial, sure. Anything I’m going to have to maintain or debug in the future, not even close. I …

Yes, I read this post and was actually emotionally affected by a post about coding. I was surprised how sad I felt. I’ve been around for a long time but this truly feels like the b…

You only need to implement it yourself if you’ve catastrophically fucked up the concurrency model on the client or sever side and they can’t respond out of band of whatever you’re …

Personally I’ve been finding that the more context I provide the more it hallucinates.

That's a great analogy. I would add that since I left every single smart person in my extended network that worked there has left. As far as I can tell all my former teams are held…

I just want a hacker news no-LLM filter. The site has been almost unusable for a year now.

There’s no chance anyone at google will ever listen to a customer.

Nothing.

I charge it when I shower.

I’m so glad I left. The execs there are comically incompetent.

All this person has done is illustrate a sociopathic inability to understand other peoples’ experiences. Nothing they have said is remotely interesting and is an obvious no from my…

I know nothing whatsoever about readability but this almost makes me ill to read. Very unsettling.

It’s wild to me people can say things like this so confidently. I’ve said no to everything my entire life. I don’t care what you’re offering, I’m already seething with rage that I …

This drives me nuts. When I first got the original fire tv it was fast and had no ads. I could easily recommend it. Now it’s stuffed to the brim with ads and is incredibly slow. Wh…

No. Speak for yourself.

Agreed. In my experience to do well in large companies you need 2 properties and nothing else. 1. Constantly complaining. This is like a high-visible fake proxy for "high quality".…

You forgot Amazon eating paste in the corner.

If they are they should stop. It causes so many entirely unnecessary issues. The conda developers are directly responsible for maybe a month of my wasted debugging time. At my last…
