I think you misread that comment as anger; it's satire. Your response hoists you even further by your own petard.

Not common. As in, strictly less than half.

And yet, all the upvotes showered on nitpicks again prevent HN from using the top comment for substantive discussion on the subject of the article.

I found it so awkward to configure authorization and to apply custom logic that I went crawling back to Rails to get my current project shipped. For me, the value of a graphql API just isn't enough to move me. Typescript all the way d

I skip all the middle-men and assume everyone is wrong, regardless of reputation OR content.

They'll also go through your recent history and downvote any comments you've made that are still fresh enough. Downvote culture has some clear drawbacks that I have never seen validated, let alone addressed, by any community mod&#

The question is about lock-in and choice. You can see on the thread the Observable authors seem almost proud of the fact that their tooling is so good that it couldn't possibly ever be made to be more compatible with everyone else&#x27

/s takes all the fun out of it. If someone initially thinks I'm serious, someone else gets an opportunity to explain a joke, which is a rare pleasure. But of course we all know confronting someone directly about their opinion alw

Oh, I'm definitely, genuinely a fool. For ever trying to get a point across on the internet.

Sorry it wasn't clear. I tried to be as extreme as possible to avoid being taken seriously. (Although I guess these days that works the other way.)

Yes, as someone who only occasionally uses a Mac, I always think Safari is broken until I remember Apple tries to hide everything from you for your own good.

The baseline assumption is that they read your contract and do everything. It's their job to get it right. If they're attentive to the stupidest thing in your contract, they probably did an OK job on everything else. Sure, it&#

It's more than just load, it's all the little hangs. Especially with devtools open. Also unlike Chrome, one tab can crash every window, which can happen to me daily. Edit: I suppose that's what you meant by "responsive&q

I've found the opposite, especially for development. I use ff 99% of the time and it's slower and crashier than Chrome by an order of magnitude at least. Using ff because Google is evil, and suffering for it. (Arch Linux, sway, 5y

I used to enjoy a mix of going to the office and working from home. It doesn't have to be one or the other. It's nice to feel respected and trusted to make the decision myself, and if someone asked me to be somewhere I usually wou

I'd put money (a few thousand USD) up against anyone who can fool me that I'm playing on my rig when I'm not. It's a very simple rig. Because that'd be valuable if I ever lost and I'd collect up until I did.

Also, the competition is not against vintage analog gear. Modern analog gear is having a true Renaissance, and this community can afford to support the Wampler's of the world. I don't understand the modelling camp at all, their st

Can any skeptics weigh in? To me, this kind of tech is centuries away from fooling tone hounds.

I'm not saying they don't need to be focused. There are lots of ways to proactively ask for what you need that are more likely to get you and your needs respected, rather than this very common expression of frustration.

I care about both. And it's a tough balance sometimes, but I try to always be available and still get the work done.

Sorry you had five bad bosses. I'm talking about standing strategy meetings, not stand-ups.

Inevitably, the "no meetings, no interruptions" devs are the same people complaining they don't have a voice in the larger org and that business doesn't care about their opinions. But no, they can't do a weekly 30 m

Maybe you should collaborate with someone instead of insisting that you must be left alone without interruptions to succeed. Or maybe you (aren't garbage but) need more practice.

After sharing this view for many years, I now realize how selfish it is. Now that I am a consultant working directly for entrepreneurs, it's clear that my job is to both deliver software AND to be as available as possible. You can buil

Across the board, correcting and confronting people, no matter how you do it, leads them to double down, in most cases. Source: reality.
