I'd would have titled it: "Coinbase CEO lays off 700 then rationalizes his decision", but hey, we each have our own perspective, I guess.

These are typically posted at the end of the month. When people just rando post them every few days/week, all it does is create noise and dilute the meaning of everyone's post.

I see two red flags: 1) "they are incrementally migrating from Angular 1 to React" - Did they actually learn React? Because the worst React apps I've see is from teams who just took their habits from another platform and re-c

Yes, and it has been said since day one of LLMs that all we need to do is keep things that way - no action without human intervention. Just like it was said that you should never grant AI direct access to change your production systems. But

To be fair, the author of the post said the same thing. From the other thread on HN, they themselves said: "Nobody should cry over a SaaS, of all things. But GitHub has meant so much more to me than that (all laid out in the post). I h

Considering how little is actually interesting about the app aside from it using an old domain, my impression is that the entire post is just pseudo-marketing, attempting to encourage people to get back into domain name squatting.

No, you probably need to elaborate on that. Because in my experience, the quality from people in India varies just as much as the quality from any other country, including the USA. What does make a difference is the company they work for. L

Can you put together a working product that you can put in front of someone and it will accomplish their goals? Sure, absolutely. Will it be secure, reasonably free of bugs, scale well, and compliant with any regulatory requirements in your

I am doing it. Not VMS, but a different niche legacy platform. The jobs are few and far between, but so are the people who can do them. In particular, people who can work on both legacy platforms and the modern stacks are quite rare, and AI

Doubtful. Do they use vendors? Sure. Perhaps even in critical functions. But that is not the same thing as a specific vendor being critical. There is almost always a business continuity plan, and frequently you'll find a full risk mana

Nice little project. But how many people do you think exist who know enough about cameras to care about shutter actuations... but do not know how to just right-click their image and see the EXIF data directly?

Your two problems are not tech problems, they are leadership problems. I find it interesting that a CTO looks for a tech solution instead of a leadership solution. That isn't meant to be a diss on you as a leader - everyone is new at i
