Unless you don’t have any other options, don’t do it. Your future self will thank you. I wasted so much time being a founding engineer, it’s the worst tradeoff. Don’t do it. Don’t …

Once liberated from toil, how are these kids going to pay for rent?

It’s entirely possible that people who are praising this CEO might have to come up with incredibly convoluted mental gymnastics to defend their position soon: “Anthropic chief back…

I genuinely get bothered when someone talks to me. I am typically rushing through my day to do stuff, whether it is hiking, grocery shopping, working out, or going to the restroom …

Really hard for me to understand why the average HN commenter has an almost cultish behavior towards Anthropic, they are somehow excused for all their sins whereas everything OpenA…

Just wanted to thank you for the Sutro Tower work ( https://vincentwoo.com/3d/sutro_tower/ ), it was truly beautiful and I’ve been looking at it so many times, very nostalgic for m…

I always see a large amount of pessimism about this company on HN, and I accept it might be for rational reasons. What do people think is going to be the most likely outcome for th…

> About half the public identify the cost of groceries as a major source of financial stress. And some other portion of the population, anecdotally much larger than what I would ha…

While I clearly cannot control who upvotes my comments (though what you suggest seems completely nuts IMHO), I can genuinely say this is coming from an ex startup employee who has …

When employees are underpaid (see Windsurf), HN be like: investors and C-suites take all the gains, off with their heads! When employees are generously (and proactively) compensate…

Do you have any hope that either what you are suggesting, or an increase in housing supply, will ever actually happen? It's clearly interesting to speculate the ideal solution on t…
