I feel like it says a lot if this is the not pessimistic take.

Yea most people earn far less than that in the US too, that’s just hacker news being out of touch

Definitely more common to just use streaming services like Spotify, but some people do own their music library. There’s probably a decent sized overlap of those who buy music and those who self host things like jellyfin

This is awesome, gonna check it out. Thanks! Helpful to look at a big rust project too as I’m learning rust.

Ok, I guess I just didn’t think someday soon meant “the next couple hundred years”. I agree with what you’re saying though.

Most of these AI companies are part of the military industry. So the money is still going there at the end of the day.

“Someday soon” Based on what exactly makes you think this?

I don’t really understand your point about AI freeing up your time to do other stuff at your job. Does your employer let you work less hours since you’re finishing projects sooner? Mine certainly doesn’t, and I’d rather be coding than doing

I said something similar in a different thread but the joy of actually physically writing code is the main reason why I became a software developer. I think there is some beauty to writing code. I enjoy typing the syntax, the interaction wi

So you think it's better to wait until people are harmed than for companies to go through the proper approval process for these drugs?

> I know I'm tired of reading them, but don't people get bored of writing them? I understand the sentiment here but it shouldn't be surprising that people are upset that their profession and livelihoods are being drastical

I wish it was silent, we've been hearing about it non-stop for the past 4 years. I agree it is sad though. I changed careers from one I was unhappy with into software development. Part of what drew me to software was that (at least som

Man I'm glad someone said this. Incredibly cringe and unnecessary using the whole wolf analogy for, essentially, "someone who's good at their job". Gives off vibes of the whole "alpha/high value male" thin

I dont think parent comment was being petty. Not understanding what agents write, especially in larger and/or more complex code bases is a valid thing to be concerned about. It's not really about understanding assembly or machine

I think in 2026 Facebook is a conglomeration of a bunch of things... Definitely not just PHP anymore.

Guess we need “reading across hacker news articles with Claude code.”

With how much big tech/big corps in general are shoving AI down everyones throats its not surprising people feel the need to say stuff like this. I do find them helpful for learning, but obviously it s not required.

Absolutely, I didn't mean any disrespect towards any of the professionals helping OP with their back issues. It can be an incredibly hard thing to treat.

That's awesome that it's helped you so much, chronic back pain is awful. Is it possible though, that this could be interpreted as a failure of the trainer to come up with a successful treatment plan for you? "Sudden" rel

> I don't feel comfortable financing a company that thinks it is above the law Of all the companies to make that claim about in 2026, Cloudflare would not be very high on the list I would think... Also, hopefully you're not pay

Them being more secure would be good, but it's still mass surveillance of citizens without much justification.

Not sure if you read the full parent comment, but they are agreeing with you in case you didn't realize.

Yea I also didn't think this was written by ai, it sounded human enough to me. It's kind of a bummer that there's all these patterns that LLM's follow in their output that cause people to have a knee jerk reaction and in

Exactly, I know people who weren't founders, had a typical college experience and then got a "normal" job that look back and feel as though they wasted their twenties because they didn't grind out some start up. Looking
