    Of course that is what he says publicly. Can you imagine him saying anything different on this already very heated PR comment section? Those would be quoted in a headline in a news…

    If Zed wants to treat Windows as a second class citizen, I don't want to change their mind. I am sure plenty of people other than me are willing to help and have the ability to con…

    my "own inability to contribute" Wow, didn't expect someone to pull off such accusations so quickly the SECOND time. I probably wrote more code in pull requests than your HN commen…

    I could, but nobody is going to trust my binary. And they shouldn't. The build should come from the official maintainer. Period. And participating in open source? Oh, I can assure …

    You are not the one who's confused. The author of the article is.

    That's a lot of accusations without evidence. VSCode does questionable things, but nowhere near the levels you are describing. And is there any evidence that VSCode is not secure, …

    This is much less likely in a company. Any sane company decides on a clear direction which way to go. Either do X and put resources in it, or not and instead focus on something els…

    I can easily fork your project with 1k lines of code, but not Linux kernel and stay up-to-date with all the latest commits. Nobody can.

    * you can always choose to self a small model, although it probably doesn't work as well * it's not a "random third party". You know to whom the data is being sent, and at least ac…

    That's almost a negligible number considering the additional revenue the price increase brought in.

    HN has a non personalized feed. That alone distinguishes from most social media today. And that matter a LOT.

    I learned much from just scrolling HN. Technical articles help me know the latest updates in various areas, dive deep into a topic, or develop new skills. I applied quite a few thi…

    Well said. CharGPT is almost the opposite of stackoverflow -- you can ask a stupid question, and ask why a language is designed in such a way, and get nice, patient, nuanced answer…

    Agree with many of the points here, especially the part with one-off, non-production code. I had great experience letting ChatGPT writing utility code. Once it provided Go code for…
