Re:Code has always been the easy part on Tuesday February 24, 2026 @11:10PM (#47147249)
Trivializing code has reached an insufferable nadir. It is like saying math or medicine is the easy part, or cooking or carpentry. Often those who say it cannot code or read code, and are good at marketing, so they simply keep on promoting it and be dismissive of other work. Disillusioned to see it at the top of HN, and hand waving away methodical and substantial activities can only bode badly.

Dang silly videos took down written journalism. Readers are mourning.
These are all trash questions. Find a way to ask them about deadlines. Deadlines should be estimates defined by the engineer. Estimates mean estimates.
I dumped it for Samsung too.
