I agree with the snippets take, Copilot functions like a super-powered search; instead of a Developer looking at code on Github and taking the snippet from it, Copilot just presents that snippet to the developer in a much more quicker fashi

I don't agree that copilot will hurt junior hiring; Co-pilot is just a tool that even juniors can use to make them productive even quicker. In fact, I think it will allow juniors to contribute faster and for high-school drop outs, code

For me, it's not smartphone addiction but video addiction which can consume hours of my time, just watching on sites like Twitch. I was inspired by the recent Hacker News thread that talked about decreased attention span https:/&

Do also find someone clicking an upvote hilarious? I don't get why upvote or downvote button would either be hilarious? Isn't that already normalized from Reddit, YouTube, etc.. ?

I think I must be living in a parallel reality where-in everything innovative is shutdown for one reason or the other. From the short-time I've used it, it's clear that Github Co-Pilot is just a fancy Google Search in that it help

I've recently returned to using pen and paper. Pen and paper has a physicality and presence that makes notes easier to find and to not lose. It also has an unmatched writing feel, which electronic drawing tablets and styluses try to em

Same reason why Twitch chat is addictive because we are social creatures and it allows us to feel connected with other people. But just like any addiction, there is diminishing returns to it and so it is likely best in small doses. There is

I agree about the social aspect and if I didn't have pre-existing relationships with my colleagues, WFH wouldn't be as smooth. But with an idealization of the office experience, I disagree. I view it as a relic of the industrial a

Who cares really. If a person doesn't find it useful, then just don't use it but if other people find it useful that those people will use it.

Most people have the attitude towards crypto that it is an over-hyped technology that is just sucking-up people's time and attention and so the best thing to do is to ignore it and hope it goes away as soon as possible so as to free-up

Maybe most people already have a job which they spend time and get money in return, so why would they spend even more of their free time in pursuit of a little bit more money? Life is more than money anyways

Maybe people don't want to play a zero-sum Greater fool game. There are better ways to spend one's time.

My sincere question is what if a developer looks at some GPL code, and then that developer encounters a situation in a corporate project where-in he uses the GPL code from memory, is that already a violation? So to avoid a violation a devel

The previous argument was that crypto will be a bane to authoritarian governments; I'm just pointing out that crypto can also assist authoritarian governments. I never said to outlaw crypto or paper currency but I just brought-up that

Interesting so how deep does the conspiracy go? Is a big portion of Reddit mods trying to cover-up "Epstein" crimes?

Aren't North Korean Hackers using crypto for ransomware? So actually, crypto is used to finance and prop-up such dictatorial governments. Also, Russia is being sanctioned through freezing their USD accounts and imposing financial sanct

Nothing wrong with Bitcoin itself but the rampant speculation is what draws the proponents and critics alike. If Bitcoin just worked like a peer-to-peer neutral currency and had no speculative element, most people would have no issue with i

It's not about the money, it's about a scam finally unravelling and preventing a scam from doing future harm. Even if someone missed the Bitcoin bull-run, they could have easily joined the stock market bull-run.

Difference is that, from the outside perspective, majority of the activity around crypto are just scams while at least other companies try to solve a real-world problem.

Even in a third-world country like the Philippines, Bitcoin is already well-known with a local exchange (Coins.ph) operating locally. Majority of people who would want to invest in Bitcoin has already done so.

Hacker News is backed by YC so expected that Hacker News community will be more biased towards start-up culture while your initial posts and subsequent comment just seems unbalanced towards negativity. Not all start-ups are made equally; so

It's more like scheduling hobbies like how we schedule work to be done in 9 to 5 block. I guess it can help but normally we already have a natural time-block as the left-over from our work schedule but this is just a bit more deliberat

Boredom is one tool to help with work; like at my previous company we're not allowed to watch videos during work hours and this boredom helps a bit to not lose track of time doing non-work related stuff.

Not really related to the article but just a musing on crypto is that I personally find the good thing about crypto to be the hope that people believe in being able to change their financial fate through it. But the annoying thing about cry

I think links are helpful to navigate in Google Drive. The normal navigation via Folders and clicking is slow and so I prefer to just use links as well as reducing the number of folders to a minimum.

It is a strawman because he brought in the personal by saying "why don't you start your own company if you think pay is too high?" Exactly the same as film maker just saying "why don't you make your own movie if you

So I guess no one can criticize anymore? If my car is broken, then I have to make my own car? It's a strawman and a diversion to just be talking about the general concept of fair compensation to CEOs and founders and then to just reply

The parent was making no point but was making an unreasonable argument in line of "No one can criticize, but if you believe that then why don't you make a profit?". Similar to people who say "if crypto is a scam, why don

This logic is nonsense; no one is allowed to criticize capitalism's flaws? It's like a movie critic cannot criticize a movie, since the film-maker can just state "why don't you just make a better movie?"; A diner ca
