- makach 2y agoI clicked on trash and found exactly what I was looking for
- aftergibson 2y agoNicely done.
- throwaway2037 2y agoI am changing my login ID to MilleniumMasterX2! Here is a nice Easter egg that I found: Open the terminal. Type help. Then type yahoo_cd > Company merch exists to provide an illusion of purpose to your meaningless life. This guy should have a Comedy Central show by now.
- tmarsden 2y agoAnyone know if Omegastar can support ISO timestamps yet?
- zaphod420 2y agoFirst thing I clicked on was Safe Space. LOL!!!!! I love it!
- Apocryphon 2y agoThey truly speak to the soul of a new industry
- ashton314 2y agoClick on “safe space”. DEVOPS is a meaningful term. YOU WERE BORN TO DEPLOY KUBERNETES CLUSTERS!
- panqueca 2y ago"Your family understands what you do..."
- johnisgood 2y agoThis makes me chuckle.
- kreelman 2y agoThis had me laughing too. Very cool. Kind of neat that this one sits right next to the meta OS article... Cue music from the lion King ... Can you feel the irony tonight... It's so obvious.. Huge meta corps writing a spurious OS.. What a hideous mess...
- andrewflnr 2y agoIt makes me happy that it sits right above the Meta OS post (at this writing).
- rc_mob 2y agoThat SRE video accurately depicted my life in DevOps. I felt that one.
- bavell 2y agoI clicked on safe space and all was right in the world once more

- throwup238 2y ago"You were born to deploy kubernetes" "Your feedback is actionable and important" "There will never be another outage again" "Your tests are reliable and have appropriate coverage"
- kaycey2022 2y agopfft.. I have no tests. Still need to figure out how to write them.
- mondobe 2y agoYou start by choosing between multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, or an essay question...
- alex23478 2y agoWell, technically all of your tests are very reliable then.
- archon810 2y ago100% of the tests are passing.
- throwup238 2y agoThat’s a divide by zero error so technically the percentage of passing tests goes to infinity as the number of tests approaches zero. #DiscreetMath
- whatever1 2y agobuttery smooth scrolling + windows 98 = perfection
- cosmic_quanta 2y agoKrazam is definitely the highlight of my YouTube subscriptions. Its specificity makes it even funnier.
- boppo1 2y agoKrazam does tech humor better than I've ever seen it. Absolutely dunks on silicon valley & big bang theory.
- colecut 2y agoIs big bang theory really "tech humor?" I haven't watched much because the laugh track and general cheesiness turned me off.. but I thought it was just jokes about him being a "nerd" in the ways mainstream people think of nerds..
- dkarl 2y agoTo me, it feels like a nerd minstrel show, like, "Oh, that's how they see us."
- chrisfosterelli 2y agoI'm convinced the big bang theory is intended for older audiences that see their grand children or children in the main characters; they relate to watching smart young people who can do things they don't understand learn to handle basic social conflict; and the trouble is never serious and is typically resolved nicely within 30 minutes so you know everyone will be OK.
- pavlov 2y ago> "jokes about him being a 'nerd' in the ways mainstream people think of nerds" "Big Bang Theory" was initially written that way, but the original pilot episode was a famous flop. Test audiences hated the characters. (The unaired pilot can be found with a Google search.) Even though the pilot failed, the studio liked the concept enough that the showrunners were given the rare opportunity to reshoot the pilot with a new script. They introduced the character of Penny and balanced the scenes carefully around emotional connection, to make it clear to audiences when the characters are connecting or failing to connect. And that's probably closer to why millions of people love the show — it's not the tech jokes or laughing at nerds but the empathy.

- seeingnature 2y agoIt's a video feed of yourself with clippy in the bottom right corner saying "It's you"
- INTPenis 2y agoI'm glad I checked the comments first, not worth it.
- elwell 2y agoCould Krazam be behind the HN spam today?
- Apocryphon 2y agoI forgive them
- russellpekala 2y agoHow much do we need to pay this guy to quit software and just make jokes? This guy is an icon.
- maxglute 2y agoI don't know how much good content they can sustain full time, but 25 videos in 7 years is not enough.
- the_af 2y agoIt's actually two guys as far as I can tell, but yes, they are definitely awesome.
- SatvikBeri 2y agoYeah, from their Patreon "We’re Ben and Shiva, two friends/mid-level software engineers who have been making dumb stuff together for over a decade."
- dannyobrien 2y agoNot sure he's actually /in/ software, but you can still pay them here: https://www.patreon.com/KRAZAM https://www.patreon.com/KRAZAM
- tehsauce 2y agoNot sure if he still is, but definitely was. Many of his videos are filmed in the Amazon NYC office.
- catlover76 2y agoI'm surprised he got the go-ahead from Amazon to film there
- mike_d 2y agoHaha. You're also looking to make the leap from engineering to comedy?
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- tschwimmer 2y agoKrazam really captures the feeling of working for a mid-sized startup in SF perfectly. The pedantry, the braggadocio, and most of all the absurdity and the alienation one feels working on this stuff.
- ashton314 2y ago> braggadocio Thank you for showing me a new word today!
- nine_zeros 2y ago> The pedantry, the braggadocio, and most of all the absurdity and the alienation one feels working on this stuff. Also at FAANG and FAANG wannabes. The absurd obsession over BS and pedantic conflicts is just yucky.
- indrora 2y agoBecause it was started by ex-FAANGers, Amazon specifically.
- beezlebroxxxxxx 2y agoTheir video "The Hustle" [1] is such a pitch perfect shot at a very common person in tech (and in NYC/SF especially). The "read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations in bed on my Nook - didn't understand shit!" comes back to me almost weekly reading HN comments sometimes.

- satvikpendem 2y agoObligatory microservices video: https://youtu.be/y8OnoxKotPQ https://youtu.be/y8OnoxKotPQ They're hilarious, I think only matched by Austin Nasso who does a tech roast show: https://youtube.com/@austinnasso/videos https://youtube.com/@austinnasso/videos
- swyx 2y agothats a tall order given he has 3 orders of magnitude less views. i'll give it a shot but burden of proof is on you...
- satvikpendem 2y agoThe latter is mostly on TikTok, not YouTube, but I know HN is not too amenable to watching TikTok so I linked his YouTube.
- justech 2y agoHe's pretty funny, but suffers from having to pump out more content for tiktok IMO. Krazam rarely uploads but it's always a banger
- lupire 2y agoKardashians have 3 orders of magnitude more views so burden of proof is on you
- divbzero 2y agoThe top two HN posts are currently: 1. Krazam OS (krazam.tv) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40126751 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40126751 2. Meta Horizon OS (meta.com) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40115554 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40115554 Both posts feature OS but with rather different look and feel.
- headwayoldest 2y agoEven odds on which one will still be going in 10 years time.
- swyx 2y agotheir "merch store" https://merch.krazam.tv/ https://merch.krazam.tv/ is losing out on a lot of potential revenue by not even making a reference to their most viral videos. Who wouldn't want to rock a Galactus shirt. can we crowdsource merch ideas for these guys pls
- agent13 2y agoEntropy Kaos System
- teaearlgraycold 2y agoThe hustle mug is a good idea.
- andrewflnr 2y agoI think Galactus is Marvel IP, so I don't think they can do that one.
- Ygg2 2y agoGalactus is deprecated. It's been replaced by Omnious all knowing all seeing user provider, made by famous xz contributor NotCIA.
- SeanAnderson 2y agoRight? Where is the "Take this offline" t-shirt :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RAMRukKqQg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RAMRukKqQg
- the_af 2y agoOne of my favorites! I feel not enough people appreciate the "leadership sync" skit. Often when I have a Zoom meeting I zone out and this skit plays in my head instead.

- jmward01 2y agoFun 15 mins. They really should have made the prize code make merch cost more, not less. I think that would have fit well with the theme!
- pnw 2y agoThe affirmations video is great. I'm still waiting for a Makro comeback as well!
- peterkelly 2y agoDoes it support ISO timestamps?
- cdchn 2y agoWE'RE BLOCKED
- cosmic_quanta 2y agoI don't think so. The boot screen notes that Omega Star is still a blocker
- Terr_ 2y agoWeird, twice now it has locked up Firefox when I try to open it. Maybe it's somehow trying to access my clipboard, and that's triggering a separate problem I've been having when RDP'ing to a certain Linux machine in another window...

- Xunxi 2y agoI saw a similar design theme on Dan Brown's personal site recently and was wondering if it was one of those trends to feed off nostalgia or just a coincidence https://danb.me/ https://danb.me/
- timnetworks 2y agohttps://jdan.github.io/98.css/ https://jdan.github.io/98.css/
- prezjordan 2y agoDan doesn't use 98.css (krazam does!). You can tell by the 45 degree angles on the button borders.
- tracerbulletx 2y agoThis has been a trend for at least 15 years.

- eptcyka 2y agoMuch better than HorizonOS.
- sph 2y agoI would be surprised if the KRAZAM guys did not have an HN account. They are so plugged in the Silicon Valley startup life. Now I want to see a video from them that references or is about Hacker News.
- vundercind 2y agoHN may be too easy to read as parody, to parody it…
- yolkedgeek 2y agoyay go Krazam! absolutely love their videos, their videos are THE inside jokes between me and my co-workers.

- beefsack 2y agoOpen the Terminal and type help to start a puzzle, not much to it but it was a bit of silly fun!
- redbell 2y agoSomehow, unrelated.. With the rise of such cool OS projects like Puter[1], DaedalOS [2] et al. [3], with Krazam being one of them, I can't help but dream of the day when the .os TLD for operating systems is introduced. I believe it would make more sense to use/read krazam.os rather than krazam.tv. About a year ago, new TLDs were introduced [4], with .zip and .mov being the most popular. However, the .os TLD wasn't on the list, which was disappointing for me! I'm uncertain about the criteria that determine whether a TLD is a good candidate, and I may be the only one emotionally attached to the idea of a .os TLD. Nevertheless, the introduction of the .zip TLD faced numerous complaints[5],[6], particularly regarding security concerns. ____________________________ 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33838179 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33838179 2. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38830132 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38830132 & https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29779753 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29779753 3. https://simone.computer/#/webdesktops https://simone.computer/#/webdesktops 4. https://fieldeffect.com/blog/what-you-should-know-about-the-new-.zip-and-.mov-tlds https://fieldeffect.com/blog/what-you-should-know-about-the-... 5. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-zip-domains-spark-debate-among-cybersecurity-experts/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-zip-domai... 6. https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2023/05/zip-domains https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2023/05/zip-domains
- redsolver 2y agoAfaik all 2-letter TLDs are ccTLDs, which means they must be a country code of some country and are managed by it. There's no country with "os" yet, so to make the TLD available one would need to found a new country first!
