Definitely a comms gap. I'm not going to sit and list all the evidence for the climate crisis we're currently experiencing in an offhand HN comment. I'm going to say something like "this winter we saw crazy high anomalie

This is why we're so screwed. People can't even read graphs. They'll stand outside in smoke-filled scorching summer heat and say "but Joe Rogan says the earth is in a cooling cycle".

Also just look at the first months of 2026 in the link you shared - the average temperatures are up to 15C higher in March!

A lot of it is inertia I think. I hear people saying that they "just use so-and-so for version control" but really we all have tons of CI/CD build and test pipelines, config, business processes etc in Github (rightly or wrong

Nice! It's similar in concept to something that I built (no ads, cookies, pop-ups etc.), except yours looks to be smarter and better organized! https://feathernews.org/

Because their hearts are too heavy and emotional, and their community is too beloved, duh! I really wished companies would just TLDR so you didn't have to read this nonsense every singe time.

You're not a software developer, are you ;)? I'm not working on any timezone-aware products right now but I feel for all my brothers and sisters in the trenches if this passes and has to be fixed everywhere!

The best way to make a really boring and generic product pop is... by copying a really boring and generic marketing page. God I miss the old internet. Give me some insane pixelated flash website over this bland trash any day. https:/&

What about a backend that prompts the LLM at runtime and generates a new frontend for every user? It'd be like A/B (C/D/E/F..) testing with no possible way to validate the results or fix bugs. Somebody make me their
