  Yes, HN's a pretty popular site :)

  most likely, there seems there are plenty of devs from nearly all major tech companies on HN, they often don't chime in as much anymore when it comes to problems, I've wondered if they get some kind of guidance on not commenting on "problems".

    Half the point of "AI" is to squeeze the labor market. This is why you don't see people chiming in. It's a nearly fully corrupt and monopolized system.

    The general guidance is likely what I was told when I worked at Apple: essentially, as an employee, people will read what you write as though you are repenting Apple whether you are or are not. So in short, I kept my mouth shut. I assumed I would lose my job if my public comment reached the right people.
    - booleandilemma 9mo ago
      Do you repent working at Apple?
      - JKCalhoun 9mo ago
        No. Apple is a very different place than it was when I started in 1995. Over the decades since I started, I have seen numerous changes I dislike. Sadly many of the changes were seen across the whole industry though so I would be no better off anywhere else. I'm happy to have retired though. The industry lost a lot of what used to be fun.

        Repent! Quit your job! Slack off! I bid you good tidings on the slacking off part of it.
        JKCalhoun 9mo ago
        Bless Bob, I've been trying to channel Slack for decades now!
    - seb1204 9mo ago
      Where you able to pick up issues and take them up internally? E.g raise internal ticket and make comments in such?
      - JKCalhoun 9mo ago
        Oh, certainly. To this day, even retired, I send bug reports to co-workers I know that are still at Apple. (I've sent a few image files that were problematic to the top engineer on the ImageIO team for example. I worked with him for over two decades before I retired.)

Well, this proves infringement. JK Rowling can take them to court if she chooses.

This is the same archive site that uses its captcha page to hijack your browser to DDOS people the site owner doesn't like. I'm disappointed people continue to use it.
- direwolf20 9mo ago
  Feel free to create an alternative. Keep in mind it's completely illegal and you will get the book thrown at you if you are caught. You will also end up using your captcha page to DDOS people who are trying to unmask you.
