When I was on a larger team that actively participated in sprint demos was regularly a witness to this. Senior types that came along and needed to be heard - not really having a deep understanding of the application - would pick at trivial consistency issues in the UI or whatever. Such eye-rolling behaviour and hard to believe they didn't realise how transparent it was. Probably have been guilty of it myself tbh.

BrissyCoderon Ask HN: How can I make a “kid's computer” today as good as an Apple II?

This is a good question and something I've been thinking about lately. I can't see my kid getting anywhere near of an explorative and self-learning experience that I had in the 80s with the tech available today.

BrissyCoderon How much money flows into crypto each month?

> and yet we've got people on this forum describing it as "funny money" while major investment banks are opening crypto desks

Jamie Dimon spoke to this a while back. Something along the lines of while he sees no future in crypto and would never invest, if there is customer demand then they really have no choice but to cater to it.

BrissyCoderon What made the Amiga so great

Yeah I'm mostly being tounge in cheek. Looking forward to when my kid is old enough and can start tinkering with an Arduino for example (nothing quite like that around when I was a kid).

BrissyCoderon What made the Amiga so great

My generation had the Amiga. This generation has Crypto and Web 3.0. The future is bleak.

BrissyCoderon Novak Djokovic's Visa Cancelled by Australian Minister for Immigration

BrissyCoderon Bitcoin Sinks to $41,000 Amid ‘Extreme Fear’

"Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices continue their sell-off, with bitcoin briefly bottoming just shy of $41,000. This is bitcoin’s worst weekly drop since November. The world’s #1 cryptocurrency now shed 37% of its value from the $58,000 peak."

How does the author get 37% out of these numbers? Just another moron like 99% of people in this space.

Yeah, I actually probably lean towards following the nuttier ones for my own entertainment.

Just had a look on r/crytpocurrency and they all seem to realise it's BS and a huge risk to the market.

BrissyCoderon Approx. 24 hours ago, Tether printed 1B $USDT out of thin air

I think that kind of paper wouldn't make for a very comfortable ass wiping so no - lacking the utility of TP.

BrissyCoderon Approx. 24 hours ago, Tether printed 1B $USDT out of thin air

Most of the crypto heads on Twitter actually seem to believe that it is properly backed. But you know, you're judging the opinion of people who invest in cartoon apes.
