Yea, it was a rhetorical question.

> the global south Care to elaborate what you mean by "the global south"? EDIT: Downvoted for asking a question? Did all the StackOverflow mods come to HN?

Appreciate the comment, but just genuinely curious. You guys seem to be clamping down on freemium, but not really landing any valuable "hooks" (product-wise). Would something like a better overall project management experience not

I would love to know how dev resources are being spent there. Feels like every blog article these days is touting some small enhancement as some big feature. Meanwhile GitHub is pushing out actual new features.

ChatGPT has way more of a probability to hit the singularity first, thus rendering all coding efforts futile & useless, whilst it ushers in the machine apocalypse. So write that FE framework before you get taken away and used as a bio-b

I guess my question here is: what exercise/s are you referring to with "majority of our aerobic exercise"?

Sadly I fall in the "scientific experiments" group! :) I don't think my wife even needs to floss.

FWIW, many years ago I used to have a real problem with bleeding gums whenever I brushed my teeth (mainly around my molars). Flossing daily solved that completely.

Sure we're going to have a "CEO should take responsibility" comment pretty soon.

I haven't made any comment on the manner, nor assumed that those "HN'ers" were the ones layed off (which I think is a bit of a stretch anyways). I'm only commenting that whenever one of these "x company lays of

I'd be interested to know the age (or any other) demographic of HN'ers commenting on posts like these. Lot of people sounding very personally slighted by companies trying to remain profitable (or just in business).

The lack of objectivity around this is absolutely astonishing from a community such as this. It exploded with complexity because frontend complexity exploded. Simple. Absolutely no people expected an "API call" from a frontend app

Read my original post. > copying actual IP. This is exactly the problem they're facing. PS; labels & text are part of the UI.

It's really not.

People in this thread seem to be confusing copying an idea vs. copying actual IP. There is nothing stopping anyone from creating a TikTok clone, but there sure as hell are laws stopping anyone from directly ripping the UI (which Pixelfed di

You're completely missing the point I'm making. Other countries aren't exempt, but other countries also don't write case studies on how everyone else should operate. It's absolutely baffling to me that Germany touts

I am not a young person anymore & card payments have almost never failed for me (unless it was for a specific/resolvable reason). > A few month ago, card terminals of a widely used type failed hard in Germany, only cash payment

Another virtue signal from good 'ol Deutschland. Where 75% of the population prefer cash. "Do what we say, just don't do what we do", as the old adage goes. How painful.

Your perceptions were off. They have excellent engineering culture, which has bolstered every part of the economy & allowed them to perform poorly almost everywhere else IMO.

I am sceptical that burnout has become very en vogue. I also think this why immigrants are eating locals' breakfast (so to speak). I do a lot of hiring & (very anecdotally of course) burnout is almost exclusively a topic of develop
