Some people might take your comment as a joke or exaggeration, but I can confidently say that the worst coworkers I've had by far were all ex-Amazon.

What are some examples?

You're saying that the rank-and-file employees of a public radio station should be held to the same standard as billionaire owners of private news media conglomerates?

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see Musk or Thiel make those exact same arguments.

I'll disregard that person's legitimacy just the same way as someone who would use Infowars, The Free Press, Breitbart, The Sun, Daily Mail, or Zero Hedge as a source.

> But often DEI goes to absurd lengths like lowering standards for female firemen or combat soldiers.

I've certainly heard that claim manu times, but never seen it backed up with actual data or even reputable anecdotes. Can you share the sources that led you to this conclusion?

You're asserting that the Fair Housing Act applies to tech recruiting?

A non-trivial amount of people in this thread, sadly. Many of which are leaving comments like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45727967

Yes. They've got several other comments in this same thread honestly curious why there aren't outreach programs for "conservatives."

As if any of the tech companies would have had even a fraction of their success if they were ran like a Truth Social forum...

k again... "Using Claude Code" is not the same thing as vibecoding.

Not really, but it's funny that this narrative has become so pervasive.

> I think Claude Code itself is mostly vibe coded

What definition of "vibe coding" are you using here? I seriously doubt Claude Code was made "mostly" (or even "partly") by telling a prompt what they want, and accepting the output when it looks functionally acceptable without regard to how the code looks or works under the hood.

... Which is what "vibecoding" is.

Vibecoding != AI assisted/agentic coding

Absolutely ironic, coming from someone who claimed that thinking Bazel is overcomplex is "failing an IQ test."

I still see a disturbing amount of people claim it does matter a whole lot to them on LinkedIn. Hell, Sam Altman himself made a big deal about someone he knows "committing 100k lines of code per day with AI," as if that code was anything other than complete garbage.

Sadly, an embarrassingly high amount of people right here on HN.

Cenk Ugyur agreeing with right wing talking points is not "reaching across the aisle." Not even a little bit.

So then you agree that putting our current government even partially in charge of the new company would be a bad idea?

Unchecked Zuckerberg is still preferable to anyone appointed by the current admin.

Oh wow, someone unironically posting Zerohedge as if it has any credibility whatsoever.

Might be because he was in the leaderboard for people that made social media "toxic and dehumanizing" in the first place.

He's off in another thread calling people "weak" and laughing at them for taking pain relievers to help with headaches.

Yup. Anyone that flippant about "just a headache" definitely doesn't experience actual bad headaches themselves, and lacks empathy for those who do.

I remember one of the first technical interviews I conducted about 15 years ago, I asked the candidate the difference between == and ===. She had the same answer as gp, claiming the doesn't "memorize minutiae like that."

Thank you for the writeups. I learned a lot reading those.

Maybe there was "MS 13" labeled on the side in Times New Roman.

It's not a contradiction: people don't share their real lives, they share a curated and often dishonest version of their lives. Obviously people don't want negative videos shared publicly.

Definitely not unheard of. Claude gives broken links to documentation at least once a week.

I sure wish*

Too late to edit. D'oh!

> because I'm not in a following frenzy.

I sure with that affected my feed. I'm only connected to people I've met in person, and have never followed anyone beyond that ever, yet my feed is chock full of "Top INfluencer voices"/"you might be interested in ..."

I've lost count how many first-line engineering managers I've actively worked alongside change their LinkedIn title to "Engineering Leader" or something like that. They'll be a manager of 6 ICs in Org X, which itself is comprised of 400 people, but on their profile they'll put "leading Org X". It's some of the clearest evidence I've seen that LinkedIn is toxic sludge.
