For the frontend work that I did, Lit was a godsend. It really helps you build components and apps without getting in the way. In comparison, Angular is a monster, and React is designed for the old browser capabilities, and is now staying a

Fair, fair. I’d take a salary bump, because it affords an illusion of being able to escape the Cage faster.

This is what managers tell themselves to feel better about their idleness, but in the end it’s just another excuse. Every person is different of course, there might be this one brilliant engineer forced to manage against his will somewhere.

One of the few people who are actually competent. Although most likely she’s well compensated, and doesn’t have to waste time on useless efforts at work, this level of discipline and striving towards a goal is just very rare in general. Pos

Wow, seats are cheap! We should totally let the people with the most money buy them, that will bring us stability.

I wish they banned big tech products in Europe as retaliation for tariffs. All that money being wasted on what? No value. Keep Microsoft Office and Cloud for a couple of years. Obliterate the rest. S&P would collapse.

It’s Russian state ideology: freedom doesn’t actually exist, the only way is a total subordination to a nation state, only certain nations states are allowed to be independent (Russia is one of them), others are to be vasals to us, because

It can take 16 hours to drive across California. I can’t believe you’re trying to be sarcastically condescending with this kind of comment. It’s difficult to respect that.

Will they make the 100k in the lower income parts of Cali though?

They’ll way to start families, not live with roommates.

I didn’t say that there was an alternative. Just that 100k doesn’t make them rich.

Can they afford a middle class lifestyle with just 100k? My understanding of costs of living in California puts people in that range in the working class with a very low rate of savings (no hope to escape into middle class even with compoun

Maybe they could do typechecking using an LLM agent? I'm sure they'd fund a team for that.

I am. I'm working for a despicable company for money. And an incompetent one at that. I can't grab a bag and leave.

How much money can you pull out as a failed startup founder? About a mil? Maybe two? Seems realistic… People have to invent whatever seems reasonable while squinting given how much accumulation of capital there is. The guys with money are e

I don’t want to dismiss or disrespect anyone’s work. But I never see precise descriptions of categories of tasks that work well, it’s all based on vibes.

I believe that they work particularly well for CRUD in known frameworks like Rails. OTOH I tried building a native Windows Application using Direct2D in Rust and it was a disaster. I wish people could be a bit more open about what they buil

Don't get me wrong, I don't "blame Facebook". I lament the environment that empowers Facebook to exist and do harm. These companies should be gutted by the state, but they won't because they pump the S&P.

Voting with your feet doesn't work if you don't have a place to go. People are afraid of losing their connections, which are some of the most precious things we have. Doesn't matter if it's an illusion, that's enoug

Zuck can take his model onto his private island and talk to it instead of trying to be a normal human being. Don't conflate me with the personality worshippers on HN, I'm not one of them, even though it seems like it to you becaus

Funny, but this kinda implies that some person designed this way. It's a resultant sum of small vectors, with corporate lobbying playing a significant role. Corporate lobbying systemically can't do anything else than try to increa

Whenever you think of a court versus Facebook, imagine one of these mini mice trying to stick it to a polar bear. Or a goblin versus a dragon, or a fly versus an elephant. These companies are for the most part effectively outside of the law
