Yup. We should embrace it, but without be naïve about what great things it's bringing us :)

Another very obvious thing it does when it comes to code is take the most common misconceptions & anti-patterns used within the programming community & repeats them in an environment where there's no-one to comment. People have

I wonder how many HN readers need to read this - reluctant as I am to overgeneralise, my instinct would be: not many. And the comments seem to reflect that. I'm certainly someone for whom the opposite advice would be more in need - I t

Bitwarden's UI is far from perfect but I find it better than any competitors I've tried (LP & 1Pass). 1Password feels cleaner, more integrated & polished but in practice the UX is inferior to BW - most regular actions ta

The "quality" of ideas have very little bearing on startup rate of success. Undeniably they have to have some bearing, almost by definition, but they're such an insignficant component of what goes into business success.
