000ooo000··on AI usage is now a baseline expectation
We can't talk about lowering headcount without due consideration to the loss of precious collaboration and diversity, things we spent the last 2 decades having rammed down our throats as critical to any exceptional team. Mask is off now I guess.
000ooo000··on US revokes all South Sudan visas over failure to repatriate citizens
Struggling to see how this bears any relevance to tech
000ooo000··on Learn electricity and electronics fundamentals without taking a formal course
Pointless comment without some detail.
000ooo000··on .NET library MassTransit going commercial with V9
>Will there be a non-commercial license for v9?

>As stated above, the transition plan includes ongoing patches and updates for v8. Developers can continue to use v8 during the transition, and won't be forced to upgrade to v9. To take advantage of new features and enhancements, developers would need to upgrade to the licensed version.

>Patches and updates to v8 through at least the end of 2026. That's 1.75 years from now, giving developers plenty of runway to plan their migration to v9. That's longer than the support window for some .NET versions!

It's a bad look to have a FAQ where you don't actually answer your own question.

000ooo000··on Ask HN: Are there any money-saving hacks that AI can assist you with?
Can't you just ask an AI for a business idea? You think anyone here with feasible ideas revolving around access to chatgpt is going to share that with you?
000ooo000··on VibeSail: A case study in vibe coding a game
Pretty incredible that people can be so impressed by someone not actually doing the heavy lifting themselves.
000ooo000··on The Burnout Machine
Yeah, GP is shortsighted. "No need for unions - things are good right now!"
000ooo000··on Modern Agile is Stupid: on why all great ideas are killed by idiots
I think the post you're replying to is suggesting that the author should view the 'Agile' practioners they work with to as peers, not idiots - TFA author isn't calling the agile manifesto's authors idiots.
000ooo000··on Ask HN: How much do salaried full-time devs *actually* work?
>My first thought was "if they're expecting somebody to work 2x the standard hours, they need to pay at least 2.5x the standard salary".

IMHO, in reality, salaries are only superficially related to any notion of how much or hard one works, or how much value one provides, or can provide. I think it's too complex for me to fully understand why this is, but I've seen too many examples of hard workers earning peanuts, and morons/charlatons earning loads, to believe that there's actually a nice line going up between experience/work ethic and remuneration. Supply and demand is only half the story, nepotism is in there somewhere, "marketing yourself", leverage etc. The point is: this ad is either asking for 80h weeks for 1x salary because they think they can realistically get that, or they think it sends a signal to a type of candidate they want.

000ooo000··on Ask HN: How much do salaried full-time devs *actually* work?
They must be attempting to select for the naive who haven't figured the owners/investors benefit far more from your 60h work week than you ever will.
000ooo000··on Ask HN: How much do salaried full-time devs *actually* work?
Yeah, to be wearing that level of obsession with work as a badge of honour is telling. Alternatively, if there's that much work to be done that this 70-80h/w per employee is a requirement for the business to exist, something is very wrong somewhere and it's only a matter of time before it comes to the surface.
000ooo000··on Google Being Forced to Sell Chrome Is Not Good for the Web
Yeah, couldn't believe what I was reading. The author was already being charitable to Google, but that part was a big shot to their credibility.
000ooo000··on Google Being Forced to Sell Chrome Is Not Good for the Web
>What features has Google killed, do you think? How often has this been a problem, do you think?

Unless you've been living under a rock, it's hard to miss manifest v2 vs v3.

000ooo000··on The End of YC
>Though it’s hard to benchmark how far I got in two days, this is my best guess: The app is roughly equivalent to what a designer and a couple professional engineers could build in a month or two.

000ooo000··on Stuff a Pi-hole in your router because your browser is about to betray you
FWIW the PiHole web UI and Flutterhole (Android app) have easily accessible 'disable for x mins' operations which can help for things like this.

000ooo000··on Show HN: Vibecoders – Find software engineers that are good at vibecoding
>Sorry to be blunt, but if you created this site by asking a model to do everything, what should we be impressed by?

I know someone, a systems engineer, who has been enjoying creating some software and scripts using ChatGPT. It's great that they're empowered in this way, but I could not be less interested in the code that they share with me multiple times a week. It's like showing a Temu 90c watch to a watchmaker. One could certainly argue that the tech behind LLMs is interesting, but I just cannot find anything interesting about the code produced. Yet users of LLMs really do love showing off whatever it spits out.

000ooo000··on The Efficiency of Vim
I usually avoid the comments on any Vim-related post because it's inevitably the same, strong opinions from people who think Vim is just the motions.

Bash's ubiquity does make it special
000ooo000··on OpenAI Researchers Find That AI Is Unable to Solve Most Coding Problems
Stenography is a little different to regular typing isn't it?

Good for you
000ooo000··on Are noise-cancelling headphones to blame for young people's hearing problems?
I was once interested in music production, and I heard a tip to cut a notch in that frequency range to reduce perceived harshness that is speculated to be due to our sensitivity to infant cries. I can't help with a source but maybe that angle might yield something.
000ooo000··on Are noise-cancelling headphones to blame for young people's hearing problems?
Anyone find their tinnitus got a little worse after using noise cancelling headphones?
000ooo000··on No AI December Reflections
TIL, thank you
000ooo000··on No AI December Reflections
Last time I asked AI something, it started its response with "Yes, it's certainly possible to x with y." and closed its response with "in conclusion, unfortunately, it's not possible to x with y". In the same session, it told me one must press shift to get the number 1. I'm simultaneously amazed at its ability to generate what it can and disappointed at how it falls short so routinely. It'll get there eventually I'm sure, but I'm pretty dubious when people say they get a lot of value out of it.
000ooo000··on This ain't the Apprentice. Stop Calling Them Firings. They're Purges
Don't confuse acknowledging something with wanting to see it over and over again on a tech site.
000ooo000··on I miss Vim
Use a config distro if confguring your own plugins is too hard for you. Unsure why one would write an 'essay' complaining about having to do some minor coding (terrifying, I know) to use a plugin provided to them free of charge. If it's all too much for you, use VS Code.
000ooo000··on I still like Sublime Text
To be frank, it sounds like your colleagues may be holding you back.
