It's "lede". There's a few other typos too.
I'm not sure I like the "This one trick they don't want you to know about!" writing style of these (e.g. the Cursor/malpractice hot take, that sort of thing).
- tptacek 2y agoIt's "lede" if you're showing off or writing for a publication, where they deliberately search for "lede" and "hed" and "tk", which exist specifically to stick out from ordinary text.
- dqv 2y agoI love how fickle HN is. This is the etymological equivalent of saying "it's expresso, not espresso" (espresso -> expresso, lead -> lede both happened in the 50s) and yet claiming that would be highly controversial.
- mulmboy 2y agoI like it! It's provocative and opinionated, just what I want out of a blog. Blogs are casual, personal, subjective. I read a lot of blogs like this and appreciate being able to take in many broad opinions, many of which yeah I think are dumb, but I like to have them all bounce around my head. Gives me a window into how people are thinking across the community
- lucianbr 2y agoOh yeah, the provocative opinion "If you're not using AI you're missing out. It is the future!" Never heard that one before.
