I’m not against folks getting paid. My question is how does one build an entire company selling a slightly better version of a widely used open source tool? Ruff is not strong enough to build a company from.

I say we put ‘em all on a rocket ship and send em to another planet. Middle management are the ones who want to go back (mostly). Let ‘em go. Won’t be long before they are using tree leaves as currency.

When AI spits out verbatim the works of an author which it is trained on, that is not transformational, that is plagiarism. Whether it is done by an AI or a human is immaterial. Now we can argue over hundreds of hypothetical situations wher

If they want to counter with a SLAPP or disparagement lawsuit they’ll only dig their grave deeper. I am not the least bit worried. The laws and the facts are on my side.

Fine them $1500 per account breached, per PII attribute taken. From the other posts it looks like at least 4 attributes were taken. So that is $1500 x 4 x 37M = $222B. I think $222B is a paltry sum compared to the amount of damage that was

10% is under investing and this is a bad methodology. How do you know what to work on? Is tech debt just the stuff that annoys you or is it actually bad? What you need to tackle tech debt is a quality program with metrics. I’m talking code

Want to know the secret to interview developers? Here are the only 3 questions you have to ask: 1. What do you do for fun when not at work? … dig into to questions from here. 2. What is the coolest thing you ever built? How did it work? How

I had such a bad experience with Filmora in the past that I am not the least bit surprised by their lack of honesty and integrity here. I’m also consistently disappointed by the number of folks on HN that are so quick to defend clearly frau

Retribution is part of criminal Justice. We have no problem “rehabiliting” companies (except that it often fails), and we have no problem using retribution as an excuse to send poor black people to jail for long sentences. Why do we struggl

As a developer, as a data scientist, as a designer, as a business leader, you are responsible for things like this. Do not make excuses. Do not disclaim liability. Acknowledge the mistake and fix it. We can do better.

Just a minor myth busting here. Vincent Van Gogh was absolutely well known and well liked as a painter while he was alive. He didn’t make a lot of money at it, and rich people didn’t fawn over his paintings, and he definitely suffered from
