Spot on. It’s all hype though, the next shiny thing will be along soon to capture the attention.

The very poor far outnumber the wealthy.

I can only remember having 256MB as the minimum in my formative years, with a 1GHz Celeron. It ran XP fine and some very basic games(Ultima Online, strategy games like C&C). Not much has really changed, I’d argue what young ones do thes

The conclusion is what people are having issue with. If the guy made some money for his work, good on him.

It really is a sad reflection of our craft as a profession that 16GB is the bare minimum to do basic office tasks like email/browse a news website.

The resemblance is uncanny.

Do people forget Eric Schmidt ran this company for how long?

Mind blown.

I think this is a pretty pragmatic take, and I do something similar with all the web apps I’ve created since I started self employment close to 15 years ago. As you mentioned sometimes there are unavoidable things you need to do in markup t

It’s all about the equity. Not sure why people are talking about revenue and profits. Sam & co are about to make ridiculous bank.

Lots of legitimate businesses that deal in maintenance have ridiculous amounts of image data. I have a civil engineering firm as a client, they take video & photo’s of roads they help project manage the maintenance on. Small towns of 10

Investors are about to make money via an IPO and cashing out equity. The revenue produced is laughable. If you think it’s the revenue and not the equity that matters, you need to do some serious homework.

Copy paste is a very, very under appreciated tool when it comes to programming. You can always abstract later, but once you start it’s terribly difficult to reverse.

“Vintage” 64 bit PC’s aren’t a thing. > Edit: I understand a motivation if it is on simplicity choosing one or the other, but other than that I don't see why that should ever be a goal worthy to be pursued. Software should really &q

I don’t think it’s reasonable at all, but live your life as you see fit. It’s easy in retrospect to be say “sure, we were sceptical of crypto”. It certainly was not easy then to voice that, nor is it easy now to be sceptical of AI - without

If people aren’t doing as you describe, maybe it’s not cracked up to all you think it is? I can’t think of many places, even one if I’m being honest, where I’ve needed what you describe.

I guess my point is it’s rarely the transformational technology people talk it up to be. 5 years ago absolutely everyone was talking about how blockchains & ledgers were going to solve all the problems of the world, and executives neede

Have you done this since you’re concerned?

Flag away dear friend. If it doesn’t fit your narrative that’s your prerogative.

Cool. You best worry and stress yourself out about a situation you cannot control then.

It rarely is.

There’s not much articulation except some personal snippets about someone caught in the hype cycle of a product, that the hive mind is buzzing about deafeningly. Tools/improvements have rarely been negative in such a massive way except

Your argument boils down to: it’s different this time.

Yes! Classic. We don’t have an outside enemy atm so we squabble amongst ourselves, it’s a pattern as old as humans have gathered into groups.

Don’t get confused on the semantics. Service / tool, it’s just a thing you utilise.

It’s just a tool dude/tte. You’re caught in the hype, and it’s all around you in your internet bubble. Tune out, listen to some music, watch a movie, ring your Mum/Mom and ask how her day was.

Great take. I have spent the last 3 months away from family, I caught up with my brother & his wife and they also got back from an interesting vacation recently. I tried to get information about their vacation but at best got 2 sentence

Given a large majority of the HN audience is likely directly employed by large orgs responsible for creating this garbage, it definitely doesn’t skew negative. There is now more, and likely only an increasing amount, of AI content. As someo
