- refulgentis 8mo agoYes, HN's a pretty popular site :)
- dd8601fn 8mo ago…still faster than they address critical vulnerabilities.
- keithnz 8mo agomost 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".
- verdverm 8mo agoif they do, they are not always followed, a Microslop employee tried to do damage control on Bluesky for the morged diagram, summoned the mob instead
- themafia 8mo agoHalf 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.

- JKCalhoun 8mo agoThe 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 8mo agoDo you repent working at Apple?
- JKCalhoun 8mo agoNo. 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.
- seb1204 8mo agoWhere you able to pick up issues and take them up internally? E.g raise internal ticket and make comments in such?
- JKCalhoun 8mo agoOh, 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.)
- AlienRobot 8mo agoI can't believe people with ties to Microsoft visit Hacker News.
