Sure are lots of HN software developers that confidently know everything about everything in this thread.
I enjoy HN a lot when the subject is software or software adjacent. I find myself avoiding the comments section in actual engineering topics, though. You'd never catch an electrical engineer claiming to be an expert on whatever the flavor of the month is in development but every developer is an expert when it comes to all things that are even tangentially related to electric fields.
- rnewme 2y agoTo be fair a lot of us had a lot of education on the topic, and come from engineering backgrounds.
- idiotsecant 2y agoThat's the problem. I often tell engineering interns that school gives them just enough information to be dangerous. This is doubly true for software developers.
