DXP: When you have nine products, one logo, and a hundred salesbros.

I see you, and feel seen

FWIW, the "Drupal should be a framework" vs "Drupal should be a web page management tool" issue wasn't a matter of ignorance in the community as much it was a point of contention —…

The belief that somewhere, someone else will do the hard stuff?

> if you’re planning to be a top 10 site on the internet, you’ll need a custom stack To be fair, that's the case with pretty much any CMS. Even if they start with a stock system, b…

I've been doing software professionally for about thirty years now, and what's interesting to me is that the conversations I had with my grandfather about factory work involved all…

Unions don’t exist so that people you consider unskilled will get raises. Unions exist so that people who sell their labor can cooperate to influence the conditions they work in. I…

This reminds me of mirror-universe conversations I've had with executives about developer experience for APIs. If an API functions and is technically capable of performing all of t…

I really do love the fact that mass deportation and the digital equivalent of building codes are being treated as equivalent. Peak HN.

The whole post boils down to: "HTML is bad because it has scope creep and people use it for bad things, but PDF is good because I made this particular document in a way I like for …

> If a fire has burnt out, it can’t deliver any warmth anywhere, not just at some things. You're putting a lot of weight on the mechanics of "burning," but the physics of combustio…

> Trying to act like just because they aren't all a scam doesn't mean there isn't a systemic problem of waste that still needs to be addressed No, of course not. But it's undeniabl…

Heh. That stuff has always felt like an inexplicably weird trope, like Hackers-inspired visions of computer people as living Mondo 2000 articles. After 8 hours in a windowless conf…

One of the biggest challenges for large orgs is that the knowledge they need to do a given thing is almost always present inside the organization — but it's fragmented and scattere…

I'd never in a million years argue that Deloitte did an awesome job on a large government contract, but it's mind-boggling to watch the regular ritual of HN posters blithely insist…

Statistically, though, that's what the people in this thread are saying — that the majority of the projects in ML/AI are destined to fail because they're BS with unrealistic goals.…

Technically not a slippery slope, just a false equivalency. Renaming a branch and rewriting a project in another language are in no way equivalent levels of effort, so comparing th…

Let's say I'm standing in the aisle at the grocery store, and someone asks me to step aside so they can pass. It takes minor effort on my part — inconsequential but more than simpl…

This is what's felt disingenuous about a lot of the pushback energy, at least to me. The conflict is framed in terms of: "People who say they'd be more comfortable if X were change…

That is the tweet of a man who slept through 2014.

Biased nerd here: I work for Lullabot and have been adjacent to a number of projects that used Tugboat for client QA and approval over the past year or two. While I can't speak to …

It's called GodTube.com, and it's terrible.

That's really the crux of the problem, isn't it? If the organizer of a conference decides not to give a platform to neofascists who want to end democracy, they MUST also bar women …

> Some scumbag got a guy fired by publicly shaming him on twitter for making a joke to his friend in a private conversation. That is one of the most hostile, weird, and hateful way…
