    Of course not. To me, HN’s content is pretty similar what pop tech websites had 20-30 years ago. One valid question, though, is whether or not you should add more pop tech content …

    Well, cargo cult programming is definitely a thing, and has been for a long time. It may “deliver value”, but it is not guaranteed. I believe entrepreneurs have an easier time havi…

    This is industrial-grade FOMO. They will take the jobs of the first handful of people. The moment it is obvious that LLMs are a productivity booster, people will learn how to use i…

    I did read the article. I concede that I might not have understood it. Again, I never said it is wrong , but rather that it has a blind spot. I am familiar with Joe Armstrong’s wor…

    Actually, now I thought about it, I know exactly what irked me about the approach. I hope the author takes it as constructive feedback: Saying "let it crash is a tagline that actua…

    No need for the snarky comment. If I am wrong, that is fine. Of course Joe Armstrong could explain what I meant, but in a much better way: https://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-quest…

    I actually skimmed the article before posting. I have some exposure to Erlang, but not to Elixir. As I’ve already mentioned, I think the author’s covering of application behavior i…

    Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. “Let it crash” is not something that should be thought of at the component level, it should be thought of at the system level. The fact that the a…

    It is very common to interpret taglines by their face value, and I believe the author did just that, although the point brought up is valid. In order to “let it crash”, we must des…

    Give them a shoddy paper based off a wrong Excel formula like the one they used to support austerity measures. Maybe that’ll do. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/04/microso…

    I am not sure if I agree with his conclusion, but some economists are of the opinion that countries in Northern Europe used the euro as a political tool to protect their own intern…

    If the ultra-rich don’t pay their fair share of taxes, yes.

    Not the economy as a whole, but there are some aspects of the economy that are. Indeed, negative externalities can be worse than a zero-sum game to those affected. To be frank, thi…

    No, sorry, I didn’t make myself clear. I said that I disagree with that take. Maybe you are not familiar with it, which is something that was raised by some people (maybe jokingly,…

    Oh, my bad. I thought that the names and pictures of the deceased 66-year-old man and 16-year-old boy would be enough. I guess we can brush this one under the carpet, right? Nothin…
