How does it matter? What 'unqualified programmers' (in your speak) say has no bearing on the outcome/quality of actual software that is being created elsewhere by the 'professionals', right? Unlike other professions

This is tautology. In that case, everyone can just put up their own html page with a search box, proxying the results from Google or Bing, and can claim that they have built a search engine ...

Does the fact that we were the ones who created them in the first place count? Why should we feel depressed at one of our own creations? Why be depressed by looking at a car just because it can move faster than us, while in actuality it was

There is this nice book called "The Slight Edge" which builds on this whole idea in general and how it is applicable at every facet of life. It is really an insightful book and atleast you will slightly change about how you think

One can be a level headed person and can be completely outrageous when coming up with ideas. I think both of them are not interwined, but it could be if you think it is, like a paradox. One immediate example that springs to my mind is Alber

It is considered free by lot of uninformed users. Lot of Youtubers, both budding and established, don't know the real consequence of being at the mercy of Google, that they could be thrown out of YT at the whims of Google.

Copying is a harsh word IMO. Vue has been liberal and open in quoting prior art, particularly from the React ecosystem. For example vuex[0] docs, actually quotes Dan Abramov regarding flux implementations for state management. [0] - https:

You can think of Jobs argument as this way. What `ncurses` is to you, computers are for normal people. You are essentially arguing the same point Jobs is emphasising. If Jobs have to do it your way, basically you are leaving behind 95% of n

Just curious ... Does hn have some kind of system that parses short comments (and other types that does not fall into guidelines) and presents it to the mods for flagging? Because the alternative that mods will be reading all the comments i

The argument made here is there is a chance (however minute) that the same can happen to something like Wikipedia because of some misplaced sense of morality, like say - we don't agree with wikipedia edits and editing process which we
