Of course that is what he says publicly. Can you imagine him saying anything different on this already very heated PR comment section? Those would be quoted in a headline in a news article the next second.

If Zed wants to treat Windows as a second class citizen, I don't want to change their mind. I am sure plenty of people other than me are willing to help and have the ability to contribute. The fact that there is no official build for W

my "own inability to contribute" Wow, didn't expect someone to pull off such accusations so quickly the SECOND time. I probably wrote more code in pull requests than your HN comments combined.

I could, but nobody is going to trust my binary. And they shouldn't. The build should come from the official maintainer. Period. And participating in open source? Oh, I can assure you I am a seasoned open source contributor, but I am n

You are not the one who's confused. The author of the article is.

Does that have anything to do with SECURITY? The train of logic has run way off the rail in this thread.

That is "does not work" for most people, including on HN. Nobody should be expected to spend half an hour installing vidual studio and building a project before they can start to use an IDE.

That's a lot of accusations without evidence. VSCode does questionable things, but nowhere near the levels you are describing. And is there any evidence that VSCode is not secure, by Node.js standard? Has there been significant securit

This is much less likely in a company. Any sane company decides on a clear direction which way to go. Either do X and put resources in it, or not and instead focus on something else. They may change directions, but never "maybe X"

I can easily fork your project with 1k lines of code, but not Linux kernel and stay up-to-date with all the latest commits. Nobody can.

That's almost a negligible number considering the additional revenue the price increase brought in.

HN has a non personalized feed. That alone distinguishes from most social media today. And that matter a LOT.

I learned much from just scrolling HN. Technical articles help me know the latest updates in various areas, dive deep into a topic, or develop new skills. I applied quite a few things I learned in my job. Fundamentally, most links on HN are

> It does not change the fact though that this was done more so as a money grab by the MTA. Even if that were true, I have absolutely no problem with MTA grabbing some well deserved money.

At least 80% of the time. I have brains and can verify if it's correct or not.

Using LLMs to write code for you is solving problems. The argument is almost like saying "using a third party library is not solving a problem on your own". If it gets the job done, it works. I enjoy writing code, but I enjoy se

Well said. CharGPT is almost the opposite of stackoverflow -- you can ask a stupid question, and ask why a language is designed in such a way, and get nice, patient, nuanced answer without judgment or starting a war.

Agree with many of the points here, especially the part with one-off, non-production code. I had great experience letting ChatGPT writing utility code. Once it provided Go code for an ad-hoc task which runs exactly as expected on first try,

I think that ship has sailed many years ago since Facebook allowed false information to spread freely on their site (if not earlier).

It seems that all instructions are based on Mac/Linux? Can someone confirm this works smoothly on Windows?

Then what about new, unseen riddles that don't have a similar pattern to existing ones? That's the question people are asking.

Listen to some ATC communications (lots of websites and YouTube videos out there), and try to get a sense of how complicated it is. You really think you are the first person smart enough to come up with this idea? If this worked, it would h

Thanks! The "depends on an undocumented thing" happens quite often for such projects from companies, and is enough to hold people back -- in a company where a third party library requires approval, such issues mean that a fix coul

Could you comment on -- How is the design of the APIs? How stable are they? Does Jane Street respond to bug reports/pull requests (if any) quickly?
