Risk diversification I guess? But yeah, disappointing that YC would invest in something like this.

Taking fast fashion to a whole new level. Depressing.

Pipewire was a great improvement over pulse, but the overall audio/bluetooth situation on linux is part of what pushed me to switch back to a Mac.
Re:Poll: Contractors, what is your hourly rate on Friday August 26, 2022 @12:30PM (#32609530)
I've been doing web dev (react) contracting for 8 months now. First months was 50 and 60/hr, then big, main contract at 100, now 160 as a part time. Quite the learning experience, and goes to show how far confidence will take you.

This resonated with me, thank you for writing this.
Re:Ask HN: Quit caffeine? Before and after anecdotes on Saturday February 19, 2022 @03:47PM (#30400385)
I've taken two breaks in the last 5 months. The first, i had about a week of the worst anxiety/depression I've ever had in my life. Was really a wake up call on how much it really is a drug. The more recent one, I had splitting headaches for a couple of days. Both times, I thought I had weaned down to small enough amounts before cutting it off, but i guess not. Still working on my relationship with coffee.
Re:How to pick a good monitor for software development on Sunday February 06, 2022 @04:27PM (#30237192)
Since everyone is just using this thread to post their own experiences with the monitors they use, I'm curious a bit further...what is actually on your monitors while developing? (Interested specifically in web dev, since that's what i do).

For me, I am fine with 3 windows at a time, achieved by my laptop display, and my 4k screen split vertically. Code and SO/docs on the big screen, and then the testing browser (ptobably with console open) on the laptop screen. I don't really see any use for another monitor or more screen real estate.

Yeah, no kidding, and I'm surprised I haven't seen them talked about much on the internet...for a complete outsider, they're completely insane and nonsensical. And for somebody that kind of knows the history of the subreddits, it's a super interesting study on how being financially invested in something can totally warp your beliefs and thinking.
