I can see how the ambiguity makes it seem like I'm saying that I think the people made this decision to directly cause pain. That's not what I meant and no I don't believe they made the decision trying to hurt people. What I

I found the writer to be downright empathetic. People make these decisions on purpose to cause their employees this much pain and you're worried about defending their feelings from a writer who is actually deploying empathy? I am so co

To address the meta question of whether you "should" do this or not I think it's worth considering the world when these choices were made. The choice used to be (essentially) ruby/python vs. c++/java. C++ and Java a

Calling it unusable seems like unnecessary hyperbole. That said, it does seem like a step backwards! Do these things get A/B'd with static signup pages? Surely they are going to lose some signups for this. Maybe they don't ca

The VB developers I knew used the exact same super high quality IDE to start learning C# and a lot of the concepts either transferred or they would have had to learn them anyway to hop to VB.NET so.. this all just feels like normal forward

I know rust compile times aren't great but.. are they WORSE than C++?? yeesh.

What if the top comment wasn't the MOST cynical take possible at any given time? :D What is cool about HN though is that maybe an Apple engineer will show up anonymously and give us the low down about why. In my short experience at App

Is it possible they just can't make enough? I know I work for a big company that would have purchased a metric ton of these but they simply couldn't get them.

If you present yourself as well in person as you do in your writing it seems like you could tell the story well and people would be endeared to you. What is keeping you from these roles?

Kinda seems like if you hate it you could go back to building services really easily. No real downside to giving it a shot! Unless I'm missing another trap door it feels very reversible. :) You might even be able to return to your old

huh - if you disable this in the keyboard settings it still persists? Is it a browser input issue? not fun :D

Count me as another "will buy an f-150 lightning if they will take my money but not if I have to go through a dealer". I don't know how many of us there are but I really hope enough that I never have to go to a dealer again.

I don't know why who or what I simp for is on trial here. You have no idea what I own stock in. Maybe my big simpin' is a perfectly valid repsonse? Simpin' aint easy, that's for sure. For the sake of ending this inane ar

"...this seems like something to send more paying customers to its network of YC backed businesses." Is a baseless conspiracy. Back it up with facts! If you can, we're all here to listen. Accusing someone of being a simp beca

Often when there are two (or more) very good tools for a single task (e.g. editing text) there breaks out a Holy War, rather than people being happy for each other to use their preferred, each excellent in their own way, option. Seems to me

Causing a bunch of pain for the user because of a theoretical thing that should be true doesn't help that thing become more true. I feel like we as a people (programmers) fall for this trap too often. Incentives have to be aligned so p

For young people at an economic disadvantage it can completely change the course of your life to work at a high tech salary for a decade. It can free you up to do the work/art/anything that you're more interested in. But yeah

I think they were implying that if they are horrified that the universe doesn't have a plan for them that therapy could help relieve them of that pain.

A lot of these pieces of software were terrible! RIP to the one's people miss I guess but.. man. I don't miss a lot of those.

These kind of comments without more context really serve to confuse the situation. If you only ate 1400 calories a day (a brutal challenge for lots of people) and you didn't lose weight it's because your BMR is 1400. So.. are you

The material they are made of is an interesting thing to call out here. Does it offend you that this $2k machine also relies on plastic keys on its keyboard?

No college would ever allow this. Everyone would want their own custom network config? Just doesn't scale and the support would destroy an already grumpy and overextended staff.

I (white kid) grew up on the west coast of the US and played Spades growing up with my family. None of my friends knew Spades, but it seemed like everyone knew Hearts. My mom grew up on the east coast so I always kinda thought that she brou

Assuming you aren't one of the very few people on earth that make those decisions (made obvious by your choice of phone earlier), then saying your pet theory is real and obvious.. is unhelpful. I would posit (as the most profitable com
