I thought you were exaggerating but this guy is the closest thing to what people call "shill" that I have ever seen on HN.

There is still a LOT of value that people can bring to the table. Instead of paying everyone for nothing, why not pay them for creating value (volunteer in various projects, local agriculture, studying, etc)

I use a 2017 Thinkpad at work... The screen is worse than my MBP, the touchpad is crap, it crashes once a month or so. I could have used it as a replacement for my rMBP 15 2012, but I got a 2017 13" nTB MBP for home use and side projec

Is it because of the age though? Or because of the cost/value ratio? A senior dev might ask for a higher salary and the increased productivity (due to experience) might not be required for that role. If it made sense from a financial p

I'll stop using both reddit. HN is much better anyway. I'll be waiting for the new wave of migration, as it was the case from digg to reddit initially.

You can even deploy your own code, or others directly through Xcode...

There are blunders - but the difference is that there is a lot of scrutiny on iOS and macOS compared to other more niche options. But I guess security through obscurity is not too bad. Apple did benefit from it for many years.
