And a reminder that enshitification began long, long ago.

Anti-trust not anti trust

I have the same question. It’s hard to judge from the outside like this but there are Trump-ian displays of arrogance, disconnection and incompetence that seem at odds with his mas…

A case study in why this problem persists.

It’s a cheap, viable, vetted user acquisition model. For most startups it’s about the best CAC you can get without investing in channel development. Close enough to none of them ar…

Women too.

> I have no doubt they will implement WEI, but it will not bring security. This is precisely OP’s point. WEI will quickly dominate despite having nothing to do with securing anyone…

No it doesn’t. Anyone can take AGPL code and wrap it up as a SaaS. AGPL forces you to publish changes even as a SaaS which GPL does not. But that doesn’t close the AWS problem that…

They’ll consort with an inner circle of “industry” accomplices to “address concerns”, keeping everyone out while covering the “we consulted widely” angle. This will get pushed thro…

And more precisely: “Safety margins are inefficiencies” This short statement is profound and bears repeating slowly and often to people in any kind of power.

The “EU bad” line gets rolled out so often on HN it has become its own truth. “Everyone knows” that the EU tech industry is getting strangled by its technocratic regulators and tha…

They meant “linear.app”, not Jira, and “copy” instead of alternative. There’s currency in this type of knock off. Find a well executed closed source app, clone as open source, pick…

It makes them safer, including when driving near cars. Lobby for no training if you want but don’t pretend like it doesn’t help.

They’re the admiral of their peers in this space, no doubt of that.

Exit through the gift shop. A tale about the commoditisation of what people thought was art. This is that. Indie game devs are the legions of graffiti artists whose purity and form…

There are two types of game developers: those who spend their time making tools to make games and those who spend their time making games. So really there is only one type of game …

I’m calling this shit out using your comment because it’s the straw (sorry). This poor man’s Pascal’s Wager I see all over the place is pathetic. Stare into the eyes of the basilis…

Your response explains SO much about why this is a dumpster fire. Rather than a professional "these are some valid concerns, we may have made some serious mistakes and this deserve…

I’ve hit this (add a new number to verify) more than once. The security theatre of it all is painful.

I’ve gone all in on Cloudflare for my “stack”. R2, durable objects, D1, queues, logs, Pages and Workers. It all works beautifully, out the box, dev env baked in (wrangler), Interne…

If you find yourself using reallyLongKeywordChainsForIdentifiers then you're probably coding in Java and now you have two problems.

It violates nothing. Your intuitions are expanded at length here http://grabbyaliens.com

Any first degree negative feedback loops. But reality has a way of poking its head in, like getting booed in public forums that should have been adoring you. Fortunately second and…
