Wait, have you been using Cursor? This is exaclty what it does fairly well.

Why do ppl think building something through yaml is ever a good idea?? (I know why: for a platform it’s simpler to parse a yaml than to run code, but it’s almost never a good idea for anything that needs to scale in complexity)

The really bad: UI is constantly inconsistent. You have to keep reloading the page to hope to see what’s up with your MR. Doesn’t help it’s super slow to load. The backend infra is super unreliable, with actions failing to start, merge trai

If you think GitLab is a good alternative to GitHub, I have 0 trust in you. GitLab and Azure are a daily source of pain for us.

Convex's open source version is OK as long as you don't expect huge load.

Dynamically and statically linked libs is hilarious in the context of webassembly running in the browser.

Confluence is ok and has improved recently. Jira is garbage (frontend, backend). Tough but true.

This is the “ad tax” reasoning, but ultimately I think the answer is greater efficiency. So there is a real value, even if all competitors use the tools. It’s like saying clothing manufacturers are paying the “loom tax” tax when they could

Conflicts spawn most likely because PR A was squashed, and once you squash Git doesn't know that PR B's ancestors commits are the same thing as the squashed commit on main. No idea if this feature fixes this. Edit: Hopefully `gh s

Workflows can vary, but what I like: PR/MR is an "atomic" change (ideally the smallest change that can be landed separately - smallest makes it easier to review, bisect and revert) Individual commits (or what "versions&q

Also they only have dark mode in the app, even though the app is (or was) clearly not native anyway.

If you were just a little bit serious you wouldn’t be discussing this on a site run by Y-Combinator! (the “angry” comments are so tiring)

What do you think the exec job is? What do they do every day, every working hour? And how will AI replace that?

by xixixao 7mo ago
Well done! I do hope AI will really allow folks to build products with better UX. The problem traditionally is that the UX gets "stuck" - gmail, google maps, they cannot really change because of user's expectations and the bi

I don’t think Alaska has the kind of UBI people are discussing here? You probably cannot survive on $1000/year. In that situation it doesn’t seem much different to social programs standard in Europe + progressive tax.

You are answering my question - you posit that communism failed because people like to own property (and form social hierarchies) - and UBI doesn’t prevent those. I’m not sure this is the case. Especially since people did form social hierar

We have been on this path at work. But I challenge everyone to consider what you lose with MD vs Confluence (et al). It is NOT easier to author, comment on, label, view history of, move without breaking links, etc. markdown docs vs Confluen

If you believe UBI can work, why do you think communism failed?

I’ve been dreaming about this for so long. Clearly I’m not the only one. While power delivery could be an issue, I’m surprised no tech company has come up with a real product. It does remind me though of Portals from FB/Meta, which wer

This is very well done actually, although I don’t think it can be a separate product compared to a chatgpt variant.

All reactions are taking this comment seriously, but I think it can be also read as "money equals power" (which I strongly believe - there's some power without money and sometimes money without power, but mostly those two are

I’ve been kinda obsessed with getting clothoids to work in a railway track editor. It’s easy enough to build out of clothoids into empty space, but connecting tracks is where it gets really hard. For now all I have to share is this explaine

OP means “given the same input, produce the same output” determinism. This isn’t really much different from normal compilers, you might have a language spec, but at the end of the day the results are determined by the concrete compiler’s im

Your argument hinges on the assumption that porn and gore etc. have worse impact on kids. I don’t think there’s a concensus on that. One might argue that porn and gore could have been found in print before the internet, but that social medi
