It's perfectly fine to critique without contributing. You'll also notice this:

> I can’t open issues myself because I’ve been banned from the V issue tracker, or I would have already.

Also this from their previous article on V:

> I hope this feedback can help make V a productive tool for programming. It’s a shame it seems to have been hyped so much for comparatively so little as a result. The developer has been hyping and selling this language like it’s the new sliced bread. It is not. This is a very alpha product. I bet you could use it for productive development as is if you really stuck your head into it, but as it stands I recommend against using it for anything.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ > New Bug > Report an issue with a website that I use

Seemed like the most appropriate place to put it.

Done: https://webcompat.com/issues/27204

I can reproduce it.

I'm on Firefox Developer Edition, 66.0b9.

I went to https://meta.sr.ht/ and tried to tab through the site. Here's a gif: https://i.imgur.com/2dQL2C2.gif.

Explanation of gif:

I clicked on the search bar, then clicked on the site, then pressed tab repeatedly.

Also a huge fan of keyvalues.com. Found the company I'm currently working at through there.

I'd like to ad that As a new grad, the website helped me a lot: it gave names to ideas I had floating in my head about what I was looking for, and it made me more confident in telling companies what I wanted.

Just finished my undergrad in CS at the University of Toronto. I have experience at Intel and Intuit working on the from end and backend.

I know some developers with less than 5 years experience earning more than CAD90k/year in Toronto, but they're not the majority of developers I know.

Those jobs do exist, but they're hard to get and hard to find.

I use Things on my phone. I love the app, but the price of the full suite (iPhone, Mac, iPad -- even though I don't have an iPad) is too high for me so I don't use it often enough :(

I’m addressing the part of the comment that holds merit to me, specifically the part about diversity problems and a lack of applicants from underrepresented groups.

I don’t believe that people in tech aren’t represented because of some biological difference. That might not be what the commenter was implying, but that’s how I read it.

I don't think your example applies in the context of a tech company, so I'm going to comment ignoring it.

If it boils down to who applies, then we need to make sure that we're reaching out to communities that are not well represented in our field. It's not about waiting for them to come to us.

Thanks. I didn’t know that.

Hi Hacker news!

So yea ... hug of death. Wasn't expecting it to get any attention at all (but that begs the question, why did I submit??).

Anyway, this is an idea I've been sitting on for a while and finally got around to doing something with it. Nothing fancy (this is the first personal project that I've "deployed", and would really appreciate any sort of feedback).

I think it's interesting to look at how companies write rejection letters. It's also a bit cathartic -- I'm finishing up uni and starting to look for work, having a collection of rejection letters makes me feel better about receiving them.

Unfortunately, that is true :(

A few things I want to try to accomplish this year:

1. Read fiction slower. Sometimes I just read to get to the ending and I miss _a lot_.

2. Read more non fiction. I read 1 or 2 non fiction books in 2017. I want around 30% of my reading to be non fiction in 2018.

3. Go to the gym at least 3 times a week. I've started this two weeks ago and I hope to keep going :)

4. Finish a side project.

I’m not married to an editor so much as my bindings. I’d really hate to use an editor/ide that doesn’t have a decent implementation of at least some vim bindings, though I have to sometimes.

Ultimately I think it’s familiarity and a subtle fear that learning any new system will be a time sink.

How do you deal with your phone being in different states before unlocking?

For example, if you have an app open in a folder, you'll have to press the home button 3 times: once to exit the app, another to exit the folder, and a third to go home (unless the messages app is on the dock, then you can press twice to reach it).

I'd be worried about messaging the wrong person, and I also have fat fingers so that's no help :(

You make a good point, but to counter, can modern touchscreen phones be used without looking at them? Volume buttons and power off / on can be used without looking, but you can also use those without unlocking your phone.

> >refactoring

> Again, what do you mean? Now it feels like you are just listing stuff or maybe I just don't know what refactoring actually means.

Agree with all your points. For this one, some IDEs support extracting lines of code into a method/function, figuring out what's an argument and stuff like that. It's a pretty nice feature that I don't believe is in vanilla vim, but it's something I can imagine writing a vim plugin for it.

I really love these text-only minimalist news sites (http://lite.cnn.io, as another example). I read the thin NPR and lite CNN almost daily, and I'd love to see a list of these for other big news sites.

By far my favorite thing to do with them is customize them. I have a tiny plugin that styles the pages so that they are visually consistent, and I "fixed" the link issues in the articles so that when you click "Get the full experience", it takes you to the article's full version, instead of the home page of the regular site.

Is code not ... text?

Resizing panes is more intuitive with a mouse imo. Doing it with a command just leaves me guessing and estimating how much to move things.

> But all this verbosity makes sense

The thing is, a person learning a first programming language doesn't understand it and cannot reason about it. They're more interested in "why do we use a for loop" and "what's an int?" and less interested in "How do these static objects work?".

But I agree with you to an extent. Eventually the hand holding has to stop, we have to take the training wheels off, and they're going to have to fall a few times. But it's easier to get back up after you've had training wheels, because you know what it feels like to ride a bike.
