If XCancel is gone then I'm cancelling X. I don't need to read what people have to say on that website.

I use jj vcs and now most of my time is spent reading the code, so I use diffview.nvim ( https://github.com/sindrets/diffview.nvim ) with some customizations for jj to read diffs. I also use the snacks picker/explor

As much as I like Claude Code, Boris has done a lot of harm by encouraging software engineering practices that lead to slopware. We have two camps of people at work, the first camp are the agent goes brrr. They don't understand the cod

You can test rigorously without token incinerators.

Let's boil the ocean for a 2 line fix and call it frontier intelligence.

This is so misguided, I don't even know where to begin. If you think that throwing more tokens at a problem with your agents cos-playing whatever fiction you cook up is the road to reliability, robustness and good design, you deserve a

But Boris declared coding is solved. How is this possible? Can’t they prompt Mythos to give them better uptime?

I think this word salad doesn’t have enough buzzwords. Throw in a few more acronyms too.

Stop giving your money at Meta, it’s a simple solution and an ethical one.

What has strongdm actually built? Are their users finding value from their supposed productivity gains? If their focus is to only show their productivity/ai system but not having built anything meaningful with it, it feels like one of

Ironic that a steak is one of the three things showing up on the landing page. Is that the beef lobby money coming in? I enjoy an occasional steak but if the goal is to improve diet of masses, it’s not the food I’d put at the center.

Ah yes, shades of Siddhartha. I almost forgot about the part where he worked for a megacorp that was ripping society’s social fabric apart and wanted to do something else for a while.

Makes sense. I think they're lucky to be around you. Since you're hanging out on HN, I'd imagine you care about tech, doing things well and have a natural curiosity. Back when I started out, I was deep in debt, insecure about

That's an interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing. If you had free rein of an engineering school in a university system, how would you re-design curriculum to address your concerns and establish proof of teaching critical thinking?

I don’t understand, can you elaborate? I’m trying to understand your perspective. New college grads I generally meet and work with are bright, hard working, curious and have a deep desire to learn. I don’t think we’re having the same experi

> I don't think there is a single founder/CEO in the 21st century that is performing better than Zuckerberg. Depends on your definition of 'performance'. Does it include ethics?

I think he’ll be looked back as one hit wonder, lacking any ethics to grow his company. He pumped a whole bunch of money in VR that didn’t seem to go anywhere and now AI seems like a fine direction to go in, copying the herd, with dangerous

Great idea, but the feature is poorly implemented. Cannot select multiple cells/rows. I have no idea how to extend past 20 or so rows. I regret having started transferring one of my documents to Obsidian Bases.

It's a pity that people like him and Zuckerberg have so much control over technology and the shape it will take in the coming years. As AI gets better, these aren't the people that should be at the helm or have this much power. At

I second this. I’m not a ruby dev and I watched the whole talk. It was excellent. Goes on to show how for many applications overly priced platforms as a service aren’t really needed but incidental complexity masquerading as essential comple
