People here will probably criticize the programming, motherfucker. Zed doesn't like HN and HN doesn't like Zed.
But I understand Zed's feeling. For example, a team had 2 years to create a new feature at a company where I worked. 15 days for delivery, nothing was working. My friend was rushed to do the job... pure programming, motherfucker. All processes failed, and in the end a lone programmer had to solve the problem. I've seen this happen many, many times, so I know this is no exception.
When I was young I worried about everything, but now, with 25 years working as a dev, I don't worry about chaos, politics, anything. For me, the sea can catch fire so I can eat a good fried fish, but there are people who have an allergic reaction, and talk about it a lot or try to fix these things (without the power to do that). But the fact is that life is very complex, reality is very strange, it doesn't fit into a script or methodology. If you have the power to fix things, and it's possible, fix it, if not, relax.
- skeptrune 3y agoYeah, XGO seems like a very similar vibe lol. I did like the simplicity of the message on the site and idea. It's not a full solution, but there's something to be said for trying to be in the middle of total anarchy and strict processes. If the sense of anarchy is completely lost then it's worth at least thinking about whether or not it's a thing worth correcting /shrug.
