Huh, what Linux culture is this Ruby-on-Rails fanboi talking about? Arch Linux I guess comes closest to it, but still isn't "everyone has to know everything about all tools", but I guess if you're launching some closed source platform or whatever the author is up to, you probably want it to sound like Linux forces you to know everything about everything, so you can sell your service to the people who don't want that. Good luck I guess.

This reads as a blogpost from someone who is mad at Linux for some reason, yet cannot fully describe why?

I skimmed their Wikipedia page and I can't figure out how they relate to this post. What's the connection?

I do this with Claude. I don't add skills files, since I figure if they worked that well then Anthropic would just put it in Claude code.

I just open Claude in a new directory (no agents.md file or claude.md file), tell it what I'd like it to build, and figure that Anthropic would give it any tooling it needs. If some skill etc worked so great, it would just be part of Claude Code.

(However, I do think it writes some memories based on things that worked well or poorly before - it does really well at projects now, I think it does much better than a stock installation, so I think it does make use of memory files. I see its notes when it writes certain lessons to memory.)

I have no idea how to navigate to the homepage of this website

- https://learn.omacom.io/ (It is not very discoverable? The "bookshelf-like" icon on top ...)

Please use standard hamburger menu icon or equivalent. The bookshelf icon does not represent a menu or a navigation indication.

This kind of trite partisan comment does not belong on HN imo.

Honestly who cares. Liking and using an open source project has nothing to do with supporting the creators political beliefs. Separate the art from the artist and enjoy things. This miserable attitude is holding us all back from being better.
