Wait until they drop the “that’s the smoking gun”

Either my brain is cooked or this is AI generated/assisted text. The problem is I can no longer tell the difference between AI and non-AI writing. Maybe my brain got bad, maybe eve…

Isn’t that the point of a hobby? To enjoy the path and not the result? To learn something new. I understand using LLMs as tools to help you with your hobby, but I think when “Claud…

"OS for work" - like, what does it mean? OS is operating system, it runs on a hardware and provides you to operate the system. I hate when companies destroy the English language wi…

This is incredible. Seems like a big achievement. The only thing that bothers me is what happens when robots finally automated "all the mundane day-to-day tasks" including our jobs…

> This Snow Crash thing--is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?

I’m sorry, what does it mean?

I’m sorry. I tried to understand what is this about, but I couldn’t. The title didn’t explain it. The description neither. I remember I heard a saying somewhere that if you can exp…

Thank you for saying this. Every time I see a substack article I simply do not open it, because if I do, especially on mobile, 90% of the screen will be covered for popups banners …

That's the problem - nothing. I was loving the profession so much that I did it during working hours, and then working on my stuff in the evenings and weekends.

Dear HN, For the past months, maybe a year, I have lost any interest in technology, software and hardware. When I was a teenager, I had very big passion to software engineering, an…

My typing got worse, my ability to read got worse, my ability to understand code I read got worse, my ability to think got worse, my ability to concentrate worse. On the bright sid…

Kind of ironic that an article that criticizes Google turning into an ad machine opens up with a “we have noticed you have an ad blocker installed” whole page pop-up

I wonder, what will you do with that free time you will crave?

OMG leave the emojis alone! It's the classic example of a product that reached it's final form. Stop "innovating" the damn emojis

That’s the smoking gun. Should have used gigabytes instead of bytes. Thank you for pointing me at the issue.

of course it is, never claimed it to be universal truth or something

It's not the single act, but the compound effect of millions of such acts across the entire industry.

There are different grades of "fun". You can do silly things at work, name your servers bob and lola, while still serve the functionality and needs of your customers. But hiring an…

> When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ― 1 Corinthians 13:11

The wrong in this, is the extent they went to with this. I mean, name your servers whatever you want, but hiring an artist to draw the servers personalities and then writing a blog…

This is so cringe. I feel like software engineers are just overgrown toddlers stuck in kindergarten: "We named our servers with boy and girls names and hired an artist to draw thei…

Dear HN, I have a question: Does it still make sense to write code purely by hand? Let me clarify. First of all, I'm not talking about environments where you need to "move fast" or…

I keep hearing my this very much, so I have a question: what fun parts are there left for me? It feels like this message of “offloading mundane tasks so you will have more time to …

You made my evening a bit better by your message, kind stranger. It is lonely in there, but I suspect you know, just like me, that we can't chose a different path.
