Exactly, when the real question is "why are you using notepad++ instead of emacs, you philistine?"

Couldn't take an article seriously that started with the author claiming that code he writes by hand is "100% correct"

Cool, glad you had fun building it.

Notably, the only parts of this that could not have been done by a well configured agent in a weekend with SOTA today is the futzing with app stores and the UX iterations.

Re:The future of text layout is not CSS on Saturday March 28, 2026 @03:36AM (#47552421)
I hesitate to even call this a solution in search of a problem because... Well come on.

A completely useless demo that can't operate on mobile of a way of displaying text that is less functional than every other way of displaying text. Table-based html layouts were better.

Just show the text, there's no problem here.

I genuinely applaud your insufficient workarounds for legitimate security protections and I say this as respectfully as possible: This is an extremely dumb use case and I can't imagine anyone would want it.
Re:Go ahead, write the “stupid” code on Sunday September 28, 2025 @08:01PM (#45409153)
I appreciate the sentiment, but "There is no stupid code" is the dumbest sentence I've ever read.
Re:Ask HN: CS degrees, do they matter again? on Sunday April 27, 2025 @11:07PM (#43817122)
True enough, and given that no company under 1000 headcount bothers to verify bachelor's degrees, OP should just lie to get through the initial filter.

PEBKAC. Install Arch.
It's crazy. You'd think business would be dominated by people on such incredibly high levels of cognition.
Neither I nor anyone I have ever worked with would hire an engineer with this perspective.

I would also caution you against making a statement like, "I have truly learned programming" after four years of experience.

Best of luck, but if your goal is to find a programming job quickly, I would not recommend being as forthcoming as you've been here in an interview.
