  • The real joke is people who can’t read or write code calling themselves programmers

  • Tech bros are shoving AI into things that really do not need AI. If it’s garbage I don’t need IDGAF if that garbage is offline, I still don’t want it on my computer.

  • Crypto was sold as a world changing technology. It hasn’t delivered.

  • Does the efficiency of storage actually matter? Are you working on a constrained system like a microcontroller? Because if you’re working on regular software, supporting Unicode is waaaaaaaaaaay more valuable than 20% smaller text storage.

  • Ah, when you said local I assumed you meant your physical device

  • Ok… but that doesn’t answer my question. Where are you physically when you’re working on this that people are attacking exposed ports? I’m either at home or in the office, and in either case there’s an external firewall between me and any assholes who want to exploit exposed ports. Are your roommates or coworkers those kinds of assholes? Or are you sitting in a coffee shop or something?

  • Where are you working that your local machine is regularly exposed to malicious traffic?

  • What you’re comfortable with as a contributor is irrelevant. What matters is whether you understand the maintainers’ intent and whether the people you’re interacting with think you’re acting like a dick. Someone who’s bad at understanding how other people feel will likely be bad at predicting what behavior will come across as being a dick.

  • Not everyone has high emotional intelligence. There’s a fair bit of overlap between programmers/engineers and people on the spectrum. A good code of conduct effectively spells out how to avoid being a dick.

  • This is why I use a distro that doesn’t add lots of extra bullshit I don’t need

  • This is why I use Linux

  • It’s really more of a bell curve shape. If you’re not important enough you won’t get a big screen. The receptionist may only have a phone.

  • I think the point is, the kind of people who have “million dollar ideas” are now using LLMs instead of pestering real programmers.

  • If committing over the weekend is what makes the difference between committing a secret and not, that’s an issue.

  • Saying the chance of something going sideways is smaller than on Windows isn’t saying much. I’ll pick a distro that’s stable by default, TYVM.

  • When yarn/react/next.js/amplify breaks in some new and idiotic way, Claude is helpful more often than not. Why spend hours googling and sifting through github/stack overflow/etc when Claude can tell me what option to tweak to fix it in a fraction of the time?

  • Boring, tedious shit that doesn’t require brainpower, just time, when fixing whatever comes out of the LLM is less annoying than doing it myself.

  • If every possible action is going to piss off a large portion of the user base, doing nothing is the sanest option IMO.

  • They weren’t looking for universal approval. They were looking for widespread/majority approval.
