It's fascinating seeing this take on Hackernews of all places. I'm probably one of the most mercenary programmers you'll meet but this take is cynical even to me. If you have a skill that you use professionally and get paid h

To be fair to the skeptics, for every Amazon or Google, there were 10 other companies that were actually bad ideas or didn't survive the dot com crash. It's also hard to say how much of the take here is apocryphal in terms of AWS

Really hard to make the argument for this politically when the state is also facing a housing crisis. Unfortunately, a lot of undeveloped land is also prone to wildfire. The solution is zoning relaxation and building dense but there's

Extremely excited to read through this. I'm fascinated by Zig and the GBA. It's really cool to see people still developing software on such an old machine.
