- throwlaplace 7y agoI've been collecting the most frequently used tropes on hn. It includes such fan favorites - website caused mobile phone to implode - this math book has too much math - this math doesn't have enough math - cockroach db offends me in my soul - org-mode does my dishes and tucks me in every night - functional programming is the messiah - functional programming is the devil - software interviews are like being on a cattle car in Poland in the late 1930s - people that can't pass software interviews shouldn't be allowed to reproduce - ... Once I get enough I'll build a bot that can simulate hn for me and then I'll never come here again

- juped 7y agoNo one ever mentions what I actually love org-mode for, which is being a super-easy brainless markup language that can compile to reasonable LaTeX documents, freeing me from LaTeX boilerplate.
