People like that guy like to jerk off to their thoughts and think they alone know the issue, and that it’s because people are lazy!!
Reality check, income inequality makes it so that parents have to slave away to earn the bar minimum to survive, participate in the gig economy, and then deal with tax cuts that give the richest of the rich even more money, while suffocating social services in their neighborhoods.
This is end stage capitalism, squeeze the rubes for every cent they have and damn their kids

“It’s a complex topic!”
“This isn’t related to technology!”
“Keep politics out of HN!”
100%. You can identify what fads are going to hit critical mass based on the amount of YC companies pushing that same particular thing.
Investors are dipshits more often than not. Just because someone has money to throw doesn’t mean they know much about many things.

idk dude if your technology encourages a teenager to kill itself and prevents him from alerting his parents via a cry for help, I don’t care how “beneficial” it is.

Spending millions upon millions to be able to quite literally rape our country of its natural resources, to then spend billions upon billions to create all sorts of fascinating new products that nobody asked for and that don’t generate any profit.
Silicon Valley is amazing!

Judging from all the comments here, it’s going to be amazing seeing the fallout of all the LLM generated code in a year or so. The amount of people who seemingly relish the ability to stop thinking and let the model generate giant chunks of their code base, is uh, something else lol.

if you’re not using an LLM to vibe code garbage then are you really a software developer?

Nah I do it on my phone, angle is slightly different but everything just looks much better when taken with a proper camera

The amount of people who get really defensive when people actually point out that, no, your iPhone is not in anyway comparable to an actual dedicated camera is kinda crazy.

What’s with this overtly hostile attitude.

Honestly those people are fucking worst. Somehow having an actual camera makes people feel…inadequate? Like cmon dude, let me take my photos why do you have to start saying “oh my phone takes better photos, and i can use it to watch YouTube”

what? You can literally objectively see how much more “normal” they look on an actual camera. Especially the guy on the left, he looks atrocious on the iPhone

It’s really a night a day difference once you spend just a little amount of time learning your camera. I always show people the difference in quality with two photos of my wife and kids during Fourth of July.
One shot is with my iphone15, the other with my Fujifilm xt5. It’s such a stark difference
