Why don't you try doing some work that's actually useful for someone else, instead of just endlessly, ceaselessly posting junk on a web site you don't even like? Are you surprised …

It's better than siting on a web site dedicated to technological development you don't like and complaining. Why are you surprised you got laid off? Go do something with your life.…

Instead of just rejecting the future like a Roman fatalist because you've decided that it's just going to be someone else controlling you, maybe a better plan is to adopt emerging …

I fell off the OSS ideological wagon around the same time, and probably for the same reason. When he was running Gittip (which was actually working to pay indie OSS developers), th…

Hell is living in a place where you have a 1 in 70 chance of being a victim of a violent crime per year, and being gaslit by extremely co-dependent people into having more empathy …

This sounds a little far fetched, but my current hypothesis is that Americans have developed a co-dependent attachment disorder on a societal level around sociopaths that transcend…

HN won't let me update this comment for some reason, so I'll just add this here: The real issue here is that the web is becoming increasingly centralized, which means that we're be…
