So you think women should feel okay working alongside someone who thinks they are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit? It's not about safe spaces or offensive ideas. It&#x27

How so? People can have all the opinions they want but saying things such as "women are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit." isn't okay. Please convince me how th

Who is "they"? Don't be shy. Saying things like "women soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit." is more than just a difference of opinion. You cannot hold t

Really?? Because when my coworkers and I meet someone like this we are all amazed and respectful. No offense, but I have a hard time believing that people become the worst versions of themselves because of your private behavior. Sorry to be

Sure, you are pointing out his failings, but I’d say his successes outnumber his failings.

I too wish for this. As a trans person I learn a lot from videos. They unceasingly think I want to want cringe compilations that bash trans people.

I used to really love HN for the good parts. Even back when I first started lurking, you would see waves of mean and incorrect comments, but it ebbed at times. These days the good stuff seems to be getting drowned out more and more. It feel

I agree with you here. The majority of the people involved are trying to do something good. I’d wager the egomaniacs are a much smaller percentage than those who want to build better things.

Totally agree. I've largely quit commenting here at all because of it. I always thought gross polarization of topics would never come to HN, but here we are.

Holy shit HN is extra today. In this thread I counted maybe three responses that were meaningful. The rest were armchair quarterbacking from a lot of folks on how to do it better or how the product sucks without substantive feedback. What h

They’ll take advice from us when we stop naming things like BouncyCastle[1] 1. https://www.bouncycastle.org/java.html

Do you think that people in the software field need something like the AMA to protect us so that we can have liability?

I do think most people realize it. When I’ve been around the country, when SpaceX launches come up, people are amazed by it.

I’ve seen the unfortunate side effects of losing these types of folks. I’m also a believer that though this happens through the natural course of life, it is also happening more and more to younger developers as well. I’ve seen plenty of ta

I decided I’m building and hosting my dev blog on Netlify now instead of anywhere else. This post honestly helped me get there.

Both my wife and I have autoimmune conditions and we operate like your friend. Coding can be a bitch on the bad days.

This is wonderful! Thank you

I’m not amazed. While many stacks support it, most organizations still have lift on their end to implement this behind the other “priority” customer change requests.

I’m not 13 years into my career (three under the table at a hometown co and ten professionally), I’ve had the mom and pop shop experience, the big corp experience, and currently the startup experience. I’ve found the same abuse everywhere,

Based on knowing and being firsthand friends with several Midori devs, I’m going to assert that this is simply not true. The majority of them were just reassigned when the project was cancelled. Many of the innovations from Midori were incl

I’m interested in this too. My credentials aren’t nearly as amazing, but I’ve been in this industry a long while now and I think this is excellent.

Hey look, I hear you, but why is this always the counter argument when women do this? Men have, in the past and present, held tight knit groups that may not be explicitly stating that women are excluded, but that aren’t supportive of women

Or better yet, don’t fall for the monotoolism trap and use both! I regularly use EF for inserting lots of hierarchy using one transaction, and dapper for fast view/materialized view reads. It’s an excellent combination.

Honestly, while your criticisms are mostly fair, your approach is really unprofessional here. Yes, Microsoft is a massive company, but human beings are making this and I’ll guarantee you none of them are happy with where the product is. Ple

I’m such a sucker for beautiful typefaces. I’m going to try this one out. I recently switched from Fira Code to Source Code Pro, but I don’t like it quite as much. This looks pretty

I would love to see pharmacy advertising banned from television and streaming services during certain times of the day. I would also love to see the same advertising banned on billboards. If [1]this is true, we are exposed, on average, to 5
