Trying to understand why it would matter if their hosting provider used ai or not. Genuine question so I can understand your take.

I don’t know and that’s what makes me a little anxious. I’m a software engineer but I’ve been trying to figure out the next move once the jobs go away. Still on the search.

Care to explain? Pattern matching, type inference, etc.?

You would be surprised how pilled some people are. It’s unfortunate.
Re:ICE Releases RFI for User Tracking Tools on Sunday January 25, 2026 @03:38PM (#46757924)
Not surprised this got flagged but this is an important time to start putting this stuff out here. Thanks eoskx for trying.
What do you mean by that?
Desirable because it’s a rare culture + tooling combo. I’m into both and HN is one of the few places I would see them come together. So yeah, “cool”
That's what one does when they want some fiyah curls.
Never did I think I would ever see anything close to related to A$AP on HN. I love this place.

Re:I Tried Gleam for Advent of Code, and I Get the Hype on Sunday December 14, 2025 @10:38AM (#46263800)
I don’t know anything about gleam. I couldn’t find anything as “shoving political ideologies” on their code of conduct https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUC...

Examples?

Good to know at least someone wants this. I had this as a goal in the new year to start something but just for myself cause it's what I want.

Just came to say that this is so cool. Great work.
Why is this flagged?
Re:Ask HN: What will happen with the H1-B program? on Friday July 04, 2025 @01:28AM (#44461376)
I hope some representative(s) in congress get signal and do something. I see it brought up more and more on x but that doesn’t mean much I guess.

Ask HN: What will happen with the H1-B program?

The H-1B program was originally meant to address a shortage of talent. But there’s no real shortage of qualified American engineers as far as I know but companies keep requesting and hiring H-1B workers anyway. Is anything being done to fix this?

Re:.NET 9 on Wednesday November 13, 2024 @03:52PM (#42129889)
Only generic scenarios that can be resolved and compiled at build time are supported in NativeAOT. So, the statement that “all generic scenarios are supported” is overly broad. I’ll try to avoid such assumptions :).
Re:.NET 9 on Wednesday November 13, 2024 @01:31PM (#42128629)
Last time I tried I had troubles. My understanding is open generics (like List<T>, without specifying T) don’t fully compile because Native AOT lacks a JIT to handle unspecified types at runtime. Closed generics work fine, though, as they’re fully known at compile time. Am I wrong in my thinking?
Re:.NET 9 on Wednesday November 13, 2024 @10:50AM (#42127071)
I meant open generics. My wording was incomplete.
Re:.NET 9 on Wednesday November 13, 2024 @10:49AM (#42127065)
My wording was incorrect. My apologies. I meant open generics (List<T>)
Re:.NET 9 on Tuesday November 12, 2024 @11:36PM (#42122942)
Is no generics with AOT the only catch?
