gjgtcbkj··on Show HN: SNKV – SQLite's B-tree as a key-value store (C/C++ and Python bindings)
Yeah I wish substack would stop doing this too. They keep inserting their brand in HN under different handles.
gjgtcbkj··on One Battle After Another: PTA and the Death of Revolutionary Cinema
Yep really sincere reviews use the word jungle pussy. The right wingers are just grabbing them all the time.
gjgtcbkj··on How functional programming shaped and twisted front end development
Are there seriously devs that think FE code quality actually matters? It’s become so standardized and cookie cutter setting up this frameworks to actually work in development and production environments is ten times more difficult then recreating Facebook or Twitter. Who would build there career on this at this point?
gjgtcbkj··on How I influence tech company politics as a staff software engineer
This could not be more true, however the id like to add the patronage goes farther up the chain. They are all just saying want they need to to clear the checks. It an executive has ever actually invented a successful business model I have yet to meet one.
gjgtcbkj··on Social anxiety isn't about being liked
Except it’s not. It can be thought away, under enough pressure people can do extraordinary things. There is just no such pressure in society now. I’ve suffered immensely in my life, and if you describe your condition as “anxiety” you simply aren’t suffering enough for treatment to have any real impact.

If you think you’re suffering rises to the medical treatable level please develop a more serious condition before getting on a waitlist. All doctors are taken up on your non-physical problems and you don’t immediately need care like I do.

gjgtcbkj··on Email immutability matters more in a world with AI
Prove it.
gjgtcbkj··on How the AI bubble ate Y Combinator
I welcome the bossware. Bye bye bosses.
gjgtcbkj··on ChatGPT Pulse
ChatGPT is more antonymous than many humans. Especially poor ones and disabled ones.
gjgtcbkj··on Death rates rose in hospital ERs after private equity firms took over
I wonder if we will be allowed to share this information in the future in someone knew a love one died in for profit hospital that might provoke violence against feel market believers.
gjgtcbkj··on The Theatre of Pull Requests and Code Review
Allen Iverson got criticized by the media for “letting down his teammates” for skipping a few practices. He famously said “We’re talking about practice, practice! not the game! How is MY going to practice gonna make THEM better?!” He got flack for those comments, but what he said was accurate. If we’re talking about outcomes you’re beholden to the person who is seen as the difference maker, all the teamwork in the world isn’t going to improve an individual’s the lack of ability.
gjgtcbkj··on The Theatre of Pull Requests and Code Review
It sounds like a good job where the most important part is finding other people’s mistakes.

Though I do appreciate the shoutout to adding tests in CR. But returning a PR solely because it doesn’t have tests, is effective, but a little performative too. It kind of like publicly executing someone, theirs gotta be some performance for it to be a deterrent. If something doesn’t have tests my review is going to be a very short performance where I pretend read the rest of the code. Then immediately send it back.

gjgtcbkj··on The Theatre of Pull Requests and Code Review
Every developer I know who applies this sort of “highly documented development” approach where they “work through their thought process openly.” Is only doing it because their thought processes are already so funky and counterintuitive that reviewers actively reject their work unless have written evidence that the developer didn’t just entirely change the scope of their assignment to justify the bizarre decisions.
gjgtcbkj··on Do YC after you graduate: Early decision for students
Something tells me the business is became the product.
gjgtcbkj··on How did sports betting become legal in the US?
Well you have a truth telling friend.
gjgtcbkj··on Do YC after you graduate: Early decision for students
They just want warm bodies. Why else would they focus on people that don’t have experience?
gjgtcbkj··on They Thought They Were Free (1955)
The case against has basically fallen apart already. If he’s a murderer why does he walk free? The prosecutors will keep billing hours those. They need a scapegoat.
gjgtcbkj··on Universities should be more than toll gates
People always say these schools are “looked down on” and rightly so they are mostly scams. Virtually all tradespeople like this have relatives in that trade. The idea these school would actually be equivalent to a college is laughable.
gjgtcbkj··on Show HN: Visualize the entropy of a codebase with a 3D force-directed graph
There’s such a weird vane of do nothingness that runs through this comments attitude. Yeah of course it’s easy to pick dependancies when you don’t worry about deadlines. A programmer without a deadline is like a fisherman going to grocery store to buy fish and claiming it’s “best practices” better results, but what was the point?
gjgtcbkj··on New GitHub Copilot research finds 'downward pressure on code quality'
This kind of sounds like it was written by AI
gjgtcbkj··on If only someone told me this before my first startup
How much money did you make though?
gjgtcbkj··on The housing shortage is larger than you think
There is no housing shortage, there are more vacant homes than total numbers of homeless in the US. It’s just that capitalism creates a permanent underclass.
