Crazy reply to read here on hackernews where we're discussing innovations every single day. We are in the middle of a software development golden age and the amount of innovation happening is absolutely absurd. Just because you haven't found some new gizmo to make your life easier in the past 5 years doesn't mean our entire society has stagnated. Just because you think making webapps is milking the internet doesn't mean that software is trivial or can't be a force for good, a force for change, a force for innovation, or a force for making peoples lives better. Like why are you even here? When I think about 5 years ago, I think basically 0 electric cars being sold. I think basically 0 electric charging network. I think basically 0 grid scale solar panel build out. 0 compared to today, at least. We are in the midst of the electric car revolution, the petrochemical refilling grid is being deprecated IN REAL TIME all around us, cars are having AI models updated OTA to achieve lv3 or 4 driver assistance or even to drive themselves. Where's the innovation?? Open your eyes!!

> Crazy reply to read here on hackernews where we're discussing innovations every single day. I don't want to discuss, I want to use. Aspirational stuff doesn't improve the quality of life of anybody. It's the equivalent of small talk > I think basically 0 electric cars being sold. I think basically 0 electric charging network.

That stuff is not for us, it's for people who'd be alive 150 years from now. All the energy transition stuff won't improve our lives one bit, it just prolongs the churn rate of the planet. It's like when AiBnB raises the cleaning fee 1000% and unluckily you are the first client ever to have to pay it. It doesn't add anything to your experience and your staying at the venue. It's a cost, hence it's a minus, not a plus. mRNA is an example of stuff that it's for us. Matter of fact I have it in me right now and I suppose so do you > Like why are you even here? I mean...somebody is being aggressive for no reason. I think making tons of money with software and copying app or by playing the poker game of founding>raising>exiting is nice and all. But at the end of the day making money is just step #1, you still need to have something worthy to buy with that money once you leave the poker table. That's why Vegas has tons of venues, resturants and nightclubs and stripclubs in the proximity of poker tables. Without all the amenities Vegas would not be different than Oklahoma's Poker scene
