You’re mistaking how with what. We’re talking about „how” here
Slippery slope is fine and all but do you have any constructive argument?

Or just focus on driving? Why we are doing it to ourselves? It seems so toxic to fill every possible little moment with… productivity? Is it even productive?

This comment is too emotional but i just felt so sad while reading this

Re:Microsoft VibeVoice: Open-Source Frontier Voice AI on Tuesday April 28, 2026 @11:49AM (#47936161)
? Do you know what “source” means in open source? Like, what is the source of the binary? It’s the code. That’s the source in open source.

Cloud providers will always be able to offer more performance and more powerful options.

Just curious: why do you understand they restrict it to EU?

I 100% agree with you but also sad fact is that it’s easy to understand why people don’t want to take this role. You can make enemies easily, you need to deliver “bad news” and convince people to put more effort or prove that effort they did was not enough. Why bother when you probably won’t be the one that have to clean it up

Have you ever considered that you don’t understand why those decisions were made and that’s why you think they were made for the wrong reasons?

Re:Project Fucking Sucks on Saturday November 15, 2025 @06:26PM (#45941430)
I love those paragraph so much. Thank you.

“In this article, I’m going to be making an argument for gatekeeping. Not people, but culture, which is always worth defending. I’m not advocating for elitism, credentialism, or hostility towards beginners.

Instead, I say we should band together and defend the norms, values, quality standards, and our shared understanding of what open–source is for.”

I think this is very important distinction that should be understood broader.

This is true also for steam deck but it’s a success anyway. COD, Fortnite, LoL players can stay on windows. I’m happy to play newest indie game on my Linux machine

Weird. Things3 seems to be doing great without it
But then you have to maintain it yourself, which overall usually wilk be more work than just migrating from time to time
Re:Modern Linux tools on Monday October 13, 2025 @07:21AM (#45567144)
This is 2023 article. As with most “modern tools” half of them probably already have some newer, shinier and more trendy replacements
Re:Vibe Engineering on Wednesday October 08, 2025 @09:00AM (#45515697)
What’s the point of this kind of division? Should developers who use JetBrains instead of Vim be called something different too? Or if one person uses Google and another relies on a book, are they somehow different kinds of engineers? What are we actually trying to achieve with this distinction? Vibe coder is not engineer because the person doing it doesn’t really interact with the code. But the tools a professional engineer uses for assistance shouldn’t matter at all, should they?
Re:It's not a hack to satisfy known requirements on Saturday October 04, 2025 @11:30AM (#45474030)
The question “what if it happens” is important but useless without “how likely is that to happen” and “if it will happen how much time we need to cover for it”
Re:Ask HN: How Do You Journal? on Wednesday October 01, 2025 @11:22AM (#45438800)
I don’t stick to one tool. I rarely go back to what I wrote in the past but I found that the process od journaling is valuable enough. If I have my paper notebook at hand, I’ll use that. I sometimes write something in Apple Notes or Apple journal app.

If I were to recommend one: go with paper. But regardless of the tool: don’t treat it as “one precious journal that have to be perfect”. Missed a note? Don’t feel shame. Don feel like writing? Just note a one sentence.

Good luck!
