Such a shitty proposition. Why would anyone buy this.
I long for the day I can land on a new site that has a non-AI design language. What is up with everyone using dark theme? Even the dark -> light toggle just flipped the small in-between section areas to light, leaving everything else dark. Did accessibility just go out the window?
Naming is hard
Seems like Meta is using the new meta

Re:Management is forcing us to use AI on Friday October 02, 2026 @12:30AM (#49929848)
Umm, isn't usage very easy to automate? You can just use AI to orchestrate the creation of questions and answer them (including generate crap) in a loop? Of course you'd have to be a bit clever to have it appear like a human is driving it which isn't hard. So, use AI to fight AI?
Why would anyone, that uses CLI tools, ever update them via a GUI?
Re:Ask HN: Should we still learn coding? on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @04:23AM (#49813119)
Define "learning". AI can help you build things faster and help you learn faster. It, however, cannot do the "learning" for you. For example: I consider that I have learnt something if I have absorbed it enough to reach a stage where I can help others learn it.

Isn't this just enshittification? Where money is the driver, enshittification is just bound to happen.

Or, you know what, don't listen to strangers on internet telling you what you should do. Do what you want.

Corporate greed and late stage capitalism. Welcome to the future. We know you’ll love it.

If this is what will take for folks to move away from JS ecosystem, I'll take it.
Life is amazing. Can anyone recommend good modern starting points to someone who would want to learn more about how living beings work (from bottom up)? It has been a while since I actively delved into Biology (my school days).

Doesn’t “tanha” mean “by yourself” in Hindi?
Re:The Pragmatic Programmer: 20th Anniversary Edition on Monday November 17, 2025 @03:08AM (#45951716)
I'd say learning things on your own, even if they take time, is still better as you don't have to actively force yourself to develop that mindset. We often rush towards our goal without realizing how important the journey (small steps) is. Isn't reaching the goal more worthwhile if you have enjoyed the journey along the way? Isn't that what it means to be human?
Re:Microsoft's lack of quality control is out of control on Monday November 10, 2025 @05:40AM (#45874590)
Microsoft has gone so deep down the gutter, it is almost unbelievable. I am waiting for the day their profits start taking a hit due to a collective boycott.
Gotta love the JS ecosystem where devs move faster than users.
Preach. I’m also more of a balcony enjoyer.

Ehh, not interested in HK or similar games with such a high difficulty bar. Life is too short to be playing games that are not fun to play (for me).

That’s one of my many reasons for sticking with Mac. I know the bar is higher and I just enjoy the consistency between first party and third party applications.
