- SamuelAdams 5y agoPersonally I read these posts for tools discovery. There’s all sorts of small random tools / packages for odd little things. If I read about what other programmers use I might learn about a new tool that makes my life easier.
- azangru 5y ago- :s/for personal use/for work/ - it's actually an interesting question how usable MacOS is for a Linux user; especially given how great Macbooks are from the hardware point of view
- nineteen999 5y agoSome of us switch the OS we use for coding and testing multiple times a day; the idea that one OS is superior over another is laughable. Each one has its own design problems.
- Koshkin 5y agoI know but: 1) what might be hiding behind the title is an interesting opinion piece, and 2) it is the discussion that may be interesting, sometimes more so than the post itself.
- yesenadam 5y agoIt seems a common misconception that HN submissions must or should be news. From the guidelines under What to Submit: "Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." The guidelines also say stuff like "Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate", "Please don't post shallow dismissals", "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community" etc.
