    Thanks, that’s exactly what I meant! It only makes sense now because we know exactly how it works, it makes no sense to a first-time user. I feel like other commenters are being ob…

    I hate the word mansplaining but this comment could go into the dictionary as an example. The point was that this bothered me when I used git for the very first time (what is it li…

    Oh damn, I love this one. I’ve been vibe coding a ‘public benefit’ app on the side that has a few hundred users but never thought of doing something for an actual non-profit. Care …

    That was my main takeaway as well. How do you do this without any shame? My man is emitting an amount of CO2 on par with an small African country

    The very basic (but incorrect) assumption that the “grind never stops” people rely on is more hours == more productivity It’s not. If you’re sleep deprived you’ll produce shit, whi…

    To be fair, if they're actually buying it for the whole sportswashing thing and not for the short-term cash profits, could it maybe be a good thing for the games? Better games == m…
