    You thought your browser was compromised? Pathetic.

    I’m not entirely following you. I generally don’t contribute anymore, but in the past I’ve found a lot of maintainers are not actually looking for collaboration, rather free labor.…

    I don’t know if it’s just me, and these days I do understand it given the widespread adoption of LLMs, but I’ve always detested the idea that I need to reach out and have a convers…

    I think the attitude frequently adopted by open source maintainers - comparing themselves to Spielberg - has been a major roadblock to anyone looking to contribute to open source p…

    Well that's horribly reductive. I certainly do not expect everyone in a given field to know absolutely everything there is to know in that field. Crazy enough, I also hold doctors …

    100% agree, and so happy to see somebody call this out. If you go on /r/SelfHosted or any other novice oriented forum, you’ll quickly realize that most users are simply “keeping up…

    Right right, I'd prefer management lock themselves in a closet and not engage with the outside world.

    I think it’s fair to call those things out 100% of the time regardless of the LLM usage. Not sure what gave you the impression otherwise.

    Absolutely. Really gross to see. Heavy majority of the complaints boil down to “I can’t blindly trust everything posted here now?” - as if they could before?? So entitled. Also ann…

    If you enjoy the flamewar, check out /r/SelfHosted which has been losing it's mind over the last few months. The heavy heavy majority of that community is somehow incredibly anti A…

    Sure, I bet they didn't outright dismiss them as useless to the entire field though! I'm sure they still understood the value those fancy tools provided to their peers.

    Probably just needs a slight update to expand the relevant context of child comments. I bet it's still comparing "What's the catch?" to the OP article.

    Exactly their point. That $50k of rent includes the cost of repairs & upgrades. The $50k you pay the bank does not.

    Pretty funny thread, thanks for sharing. No idea what they are thinking...

    The first comment in the thread is a victim of ScanOSS's spam mocking them by opening an issue in their repo following the same format as their bot.

    You can go out for drinks with coworkers and not show up hungover the next day... Like, office happy hours are basically a cliché at this point.

    Async communication is not even remotely close to socializing, and hardly feels like genuine human interaction.

    Have you considered the impact social media has on in person dynamics amongst school age kids? Insanely naive take.

    I feel like I’ve seen this headline at least 20 times over the last 5 years.

    You’re not wrong, and I hate to defend the US but, come on. The Holocaust is on a whole other level.

    Advertising, as a field, has had a horrible reputation since way before anyone on this site was born.

    Right, if you aren’t already doing this, you’re about to have to screen every single comment online in a fucked up game of ‘human or robot’
