This specific, quoted, phrase doesn't bother memuch, but I agree that reading the whole article gave me, from top to bottom, a sour taste of personal branding and developer marketing that really doesn't sell it (to me).

I've witnessed firsthand that the main problem of Teams is that Slack is now so deeply wired into our daily working life that people cplain about Teams just because it differs from Slack. It doesn't even matter if the choices and

I wrote that it is an old person's battle. And I'd like to clarity that never did I mean that the knowledge and history fueling this so-called battle was meant to the trash. Quite the opposite actually. As a self-described old per

> And yet... right or wrong, something substantial is lost when "literally" fades into a figurative intensifier. Yes, but wisdom is to avoid to conflate "lost" for "degraded".

Since you have decided to expand beyond tech, I'd like to share a possibly optimistic perspective. We are instructed to think that progress is a straight line. Without any surprise, it is not. But I like to picture it with a direction

And there's an article on the front page of HN just about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32139612

I am very surprised at the article as the Fields medal has always been promoted as such: encouraging promising young mathematical talents. I am even more surprised that,of all places, here on HN I get to be the first to comment that. How di

Congrats on the hard work and I wish you all the best. Just one comment though: Looking at all what Uber is going through at the moment, I'm not sure you're doing yourself a favor with the comparison. All the best!

If you only consider noisy cafés with bad drinks and loud people, sure, better not go there. Bit some cafés are very quiet, have delicious drinks and food, good music and are (IMO) perfect for some light to mild-focused tasks.

When in a crowded space (like a dinner or party), it is very hard for me to focus only on the conversation I'm currently having if I can heard (semi-)distinctly another person speaking. This is especially painful during dinners when yo

> I used to literally avoid doing any business in Berlin because Tegel was so painful. I don't believe you. No business owner is their right mind would believe that you avoided doing business anywhere based on airport opinions.

Maybe this will happen, but I really doubt it will come anytime soon, especially since the original tweet mentions that local, laptop-based testing is enough, which is laughingly ridiculous in terms of resources, time and coverage for anyon

You're bringing a paradox here: "Owning a house is cheaper if you buy it cash, then you don't need a high salary". But you DO need a high salary in the first place. And with that big salary, you will buy a NICE house, wh

Welcome to HN! Home ownership is as much a comfort as it is a fantasy. There are true perks, eg, you're mostly in control of the regular costs (rent vs mortgage) but it also has downsides, like... basically any hazard and everything lo

Funny how one might think that what is prevalent worldwide in this era looks like a natural trend. To a goldfish in an aquarium, it is also very natural that food appears from above, as per magic.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was initially very confused and like you, I've had to read the metrics below the animations to get a better understanding

I appreciate your ~writing~ coding style ;) Maybe we can find consensus by avoiding the extremes. "Extended code" as you name it is certainly bad with regards to explicitness, while extreme compactness like (some) one liners are a

> Compactness and understandability are the same thing on a large scale Could you elaborate on that, please? The way I read this, I could not be further from agreement :)

Comparing something to something else harder does not move the former into the realm of easy things. Haskell though requires significantly more work than JS to grasp, for sure.

Fascinating article, thanks for sharing. It is clear the the author has a deepened deep and wide vision of the options for Europe. Alas, I'm not convinced the leaders of Europe, as a bureaucracy and as a human group, share that kind of

It is typical to rate yourself above your actual self. Even when someone rates oneself down like when saying of themself that they're dumb, ugly or whatever, they generally mean it in a lesser fashion than for any other peer they'

I'm confused. When MA talks about "humanities", I feeel like he is only describing "behaviorism" and "behavior psychology", which would be, at the very least, intellectually misleading.

Joke aside, my jazz musicians friends introduced me to the world of Jazz standards and how much of Jazz is about stretching these standards and hiding them in new pieces. As much respect as I have for Jazz and jazz enthusiasts and Jazz prac
