Let’s me honest, the communities have a lot of overlap.

It’s really the furries that keep the modern world running.

You should read the Herdr front page. Is so full of AIism it hurts my head.

FUD, can’t take investment when your project actually enforces user freedom.

I’m a fan of zellij

Enshitification is 100% guaranteed with any vc backing. Maybe not now, but definitely in the future it is the literal point of venture capital. Gain adoption, then exploit to the m…

I saw a hallucination just this afternoon about a spurious ca cert error. Definitely happens less often, but I do need to correct it occasionally. Maybe once a week so it still req…

We self-host gitlab and it’s great. It’s not cheap, but it’s also never gone down.

I expect it’s more similar to the Buddhist idea that happiness is cultivated in your own mind. It’s driven internally rather than externally.

I would bet that Microsoft is 100% composed of vibe coded slop these days. Everything they touch these days turns to shit.

The writing was on the wall from the very start of Warp. I can't remember precisely what happened, but years ago when it was first announced there was something that required inter…

I remember when I first started reading HN I was surprised how many people refused to use Linux. I get it has friction but to me it was worth it for the social benefit of having a …

One of may favorite things to do was to spend some time tinkering around to learn a new programming language. I collected quite a few and it was fun to learn new paradigms and how …

Maybe we should start requiring companies to pay a percent of wages in equity. That would at least allow workers to share in a company’s success.

Yeah this seems right to me. Politics is so polarizing it's a guarantee that half the country is going to be pissed no matter who is in charge. Most of my family leans left, it's h…

I think it's the dissonance between what the data say and just looking around. I see far more homeless, friends and family are more stressed, life in general just feels harder with…

Are we not there yet?

> In January, someone told me that an expert told him that software engineering would be dead in 3 months, and I scoffed at the time, but now I think it's pretty accurate I mean, m…

AI or not, most people never cared about documentation. I have always had to fight tooth and nail to get people to write shit down, and that hasn't changed with AI. In 2021 I wrote…

My take is that people feel powerless to really do anything against these massive tech companies. This is the only tangible way they can fight back.

I propose we build one under Sam Altman's house.
