We really are in the trenches. How is this garbage #1 on the front page of *HN* right now?
Even if it was totally legitimate, the "landing page" (its design) and the headline ("Learning Zig is not just about adding a language to your resume. It is about fundamentally changing how you think about software."?????) should discredit it immediately.
- spacechild1 10mo agoYes, this should immediately set off all BS alarms.
- frakt0x90 10mo agoI imagine a lot of people didn't even click. They see free Zig materials and upvote.
- nurettin 10mo agoWhen was the front page of HN that impressive anyways? It has always been latest fad and the first to comment "the right thing to say" gets rewarded with fake internet points.
- johnfn 10mo agoI made a comment about it obviously being AI generated, and my comment[1] was quickly downvoted, and there were comments explaining how I was obviously incorrect ("Clearly your perception of what is AI generated is wrong."). My comment was pushed under many comments saying the book was a fantastic resource. Extremely strange. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45948608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45948608
