On Reddit, sometimes it's fun to sort by "most controversial", e.g. posts with most upvotes AND downvotes. That's where some of the most "edgy takes" lie. I kind of wish you could do that here, too

They get really mad at you when you tell them their acknowledgment of land / country to the Gadigal / other peoples is just a way to pay lip service and not actually do what’s required. If they really actually cared, they would ha

It's interesting then to think about companies like Cloudflare, Airtable, and Notion which seemingly came out of markets that looked like turbid swamps. They didn't just follow the flow of the rapids, they somehow created their ow

I could rant on all day about this. AMR is actually a SOLVED problem at this point. If we threw money at it like we threw them at Patriot missiles, we wouldn't run out. But... here we are. Rant on why things are why they are: 1. Making

I made the leap into a weird industry (biotech) as a designer/engineer, and though I don't "fully regret it" I still see friends/peers build up a lot of wealth that's simply not possible in this space. Yes, lif

I left the tech world to “cure disease” (working on a phage clinical trial, currently treating three patients, and they’re doing super well!) With that said, I’m consumed with FOMO and opportunity cost every day. I’ve missed the boat on bei

CUE Lang ( https://cuelang.org/ ) for me. I had to build this massive clinical data collection system in REDCap and it's kind of a nightmare system to use. So I wrote a script in CUE to programmatically build my REDCap d

Most of the hyper growth companies are going to fail spectacularly… from Bird to Carvana to most SPACs to even some of the more “real” startups like Uber. But of course we’re seeing that already so it’s not much of a prediction. Maybe… Half

it's so wild to me that FAANG has these hiring walls set up — like crazy coding challenges — only for the best engineers to then do work equivalent to what you see at gov't or consulting jobs. Why do they make it so hard to work f

Are there any "headless community / forum" platforms out there that are easy to build on top of (e.g. Supabase level of "easy")? Some of the ActivityPub ones seem very complicated to build on.

I can see this as positive — the web 2.0 idiocy of social media is going to disappear, and we'll hopefully see more smaller groups with more interesting conversations. HN is leading the pack, and this is the only place I really go to a
