Ode to a Pager
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoI assume, of course, this is being shared because the author wrote the etcd rant on the front page today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23833362 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23833362 And it does fit the theme: Author prefers reliable, robust, simple tools over endless complexity. I don't wholly disagree, for me, the alarm clock is a great example. Phones have batteries which make them good alarm clocks, but they also can have bugs and lock up overnight and fail to wake you up. So I love having a good old fashioned alarm clock (though a digital display is okay, I guess). I'd also love to carry a simpler phone, but meeting all my work's required things with that is hard.
