I'm a hardware engineer:
The pitchforking on HN about "right to repair" issues. Frankly, those threads degenerate into what I'd expect on reddit.
To clarify, I support the problems trying to be solved but a lot of the ideas are just the wrong way to go about it. I've thought of weighing in, but the way some other dissenting commenters get beaten down means I self censor and move on to other threads.
- 0des 4y agothats the trend now. its not enough that we may disagree, you must know you're wrong and you must suffer for it, for you have offended me.
- bluesquared 4y agoAnother hardware engineer here, and I feel the same way. As much as I know I lack knowledge in areas of software... there's something to be said from the wisdom gained from making an actual physical product and maintaining that product for years rather than making some CRUD app in some framework-of-the-month and hopping on to something completely different every 9 months.
- WHA8m 4y ago"HN [...] degenerate[s] into what I'd expect on reddit" is a no no ;) I suppose I'm a supporter of the "right to repair" and curious. Do you have something (more on the general side) that one has to be aware about this topic when discussing?
