I don't think the tech advances these companies made were irrevocably tied to the anti-competition practices. If anything, if we made it easier and cheaper for anyone to build on t…

I am dubious about the actual value of feedback given just to trade. You want feedback coming from people looking to actually use and/or pay, not from people who also have somethin…

Hmmm I'm not aware if the word 'custom' applies to resolvers - to an extent, you're always going to write them out as such for optimal benefit, can't imagine a non-custom one if th…

Currently in first now

> simply replacing REST adds resolver complexity [...] To put it simply, even with REST, you're already dealing with the concept of "how does clients get a handle of a particular e…

A lot of the sentiment coming from non-gql people in this thread start with: "gql is impossible to X, Y, Z" which is immediately untrue by inference if you base it from how well ex…

I agree, but ICs winging it have less potential negative impact compared to managers winging it.

Exactly, what merit is there to putting a manager that pushes failure onto the team? Might as well have the team itself report to senior management if one is too eager to get out o…

With the right team/leader, there'd be room for your inputs on the matter. Even if you find yourself in a not-so-good team setup, I'd argue there's still merit in letting your opin…

> Using "clever" as a criticism is implicitly an ad personam argument, passing value judgement on the person who wrote it ("Oh, they must have written it to show off") instead of a…

The fun, intellectually stimulating part definitely takes a back seat in priority over keeping the lights on for customers/colleagues most of the time, except in personal/weekend p…

See, this will just cause additional communication overhead for the maintainers, too. And for what benefit, just to accommodate the behavior we see here?

I would suggest you also look at the criticisms about the book you mentioned, Why We Sleep. I'd take the book's conclusions with caution.

Hi! Was really interested to send an application, but just had to confirm - are you remotely hiring only in the US?

Seeing links like these that load and then return nothing: https://mln.dev/link/ckfh0rqfr28471yyuufr7fkoa just made me realize how much I appreciate HN even more. Stuff just loads.…

This is really valid criticism which not only Naval is guilty, but most of the other intellectual personas on Twitter too. I've always been interested not just in the ideas per se …

> If Silicon Valley (the satirical TV show) had a book version, it would look something like this. This can't be farther than the truth. I advise you at least try to peruse it a bi…

I mean, that's standard fare these days, but going on YT with an ad blocker just to ensure a smooth, immersive music listening experience seems so... roundabout. Also, I prefer to …

Asking the same questions, and some more: I like the idea, and the app looks cool. I just wish there was a way to just get the audio streams from these channels and have the video …

I beg to disagree. The OP should have picked a better example since they were making a sweeping generalization. If it was so, that Chrome has been turned to IE, then he'd be able t…

I've had some recent success at confronting these incidents by finding some secondary purpose or source of fun in the activity. For example, there's a company-wide report I'm in ch…

Your comment was really interesting to read. Do you think you can unpack it a little more for someone like me who sits on top of a much higher level of abstraction?

Fair enough. A lot of these features actually just aim to engage these people and are not straightforwardly informing them of their attractiveness to the market, because that makes…
