   This is a very pessimistic and distorted take on things. 1. From what I have seen most people want a job that pays for their lifestyle and isn't soul destroying. Sure people fantasize about becoming a successful entrepreneur, but certa

   I don't want to follow a tag, I want to follow the specific artists that I like and just see their work without all my friends' vacation posts in between.

   They don't do this because it would massively reduce engagement. Same reason Instagram doesn't let you categorize your follows into lists such as "Artists" and "Friends" and "Travel", it would reduce

   I want someone to just make Google Inbox UI again. The best thing was grouping by dates where I could select and archive or delete an entire month once I had reviewed what was in it. No other email experience has let me get through my backl

    Or, you know, that is irrelevant when the person using a GUI makes fewer errors than those who aren't (which has broadly been my experience as well). Even someone who perfectly understands git can make a typo or have a brain-fart of a

    Oh look someone being reasonable on HN. There is a distinct pattern in the tech and engineering world of people who assume that what they want is what everyone else wants, and if they don't want that they don't know what is good f
