I don't think I've heard a lot of people say "code was never the hard part". I have heard "Code was never the bottleneck", which is a different thing altogether and is objectively true at my company. The bott

Bad faith argument. You know this comparison is ridiculous

I highly doubt this specific person has looked down on others for also mourning the death of their craft. You can't rightly call someone a hypocrite and cite "developers" as your source.

I and one or two others are _the_ AI use experts at my org, and I was by far the earliest adopter here. So I don't really have anyone else with significantly different experiences than me that I could ask.

I don't think I'd be a good judge because I don't have the years of familiarity and expertise in his repos that I do at my job. A lot of the value of me specifically vs an LLM at my job is that I have the tribal knowledge and

I don't understand the stance that AI currently is able to automate away non-trivial coding tasks. I've tried this consistently since GPT 3.5 came out, with every single SOTA model up to GPT 5.1 Codex Max and Opus 4.5. Every singl

Mockito allows one to write mocks in tests for code that doesn't use dependency injection and isn't properly testable in any other way. On the one hand, you should just design things to be testable from the start. On the other...

The original statement wasn't that the sigils are unconventional. They are. It was that they were "subtle". They are not.

That's not super subtle any more than it's super subtle that "*" performs multiplication and "+" performs addition. Sometimes you just need to learn the language. This is not a general defense of Perl, which i

I had very similar issues, both as a kid and an adult. I now take 500mg of Magnesium (Malate or Glycinate. NOT Citrate, as that is a laxative) nearly every night, and my headaches are almost completely gone now. I still get one every once i

The most popular argument against homeschooling appears to be "the world sucks, so we should make kids worlds suck so they're prepared for it", which is absolutely an abusive way to think and those who use this argument need

You can't use the word segregation wrt people and then pretend it's surprising or unreasonable when someone assumes you're talking about racism.

I'll agree on all but one point. The cotton/linen notes feel so much better in the hand than the candy wrapper plastic of Canadian bills. I know it's a dumb reason, but I just hate the feeling.

That's ridiculous. Nobody gets healthcare equivalent to a third world country unless they just don't try. (Think, an addict or mentally ill person, which is still not a good thing, but much smaller of a carve-out than you've

That's not what the article was about though. It wasn't only a complaint about not using built in niceties of the platform. It was an assertion that the reason we aren't is because of some kind of functional bro boogeyman.

And add to that an unsupportable tax burden to disincentivize large firms buying up hundreds or thousands of homes and then renting them.

I tried it and decided not to switch because there was simply no way to resolve the line endings problem on Windows and sync up jj with our git repo

I've never agreed with an HN comment so hard as this one.
