If your bar for good software is "released asap", more power to you. Fortunately though, that's not everyone's stance. Not everyone is aiming to shit out the next big crud app.

>it's still top dog in this space

That was a laughable idea before they had achieved an average of 1 outage per day. It has serious, terminal, product manager rot.

>GitHub — Developer centric

I'm looking at the branch listing and I can't see a single hash. I dunno who GitHub is for but it isn't devs.

Do you respond with 'main character syndrome' to everyone who shares an opinion?

Wow this is packed with features and looks great. Usually I skim through the docs for new langs waiting to see the design decision that makes me think "whyyyyy", but I think the most jarring thing for me here was really only the {- -} block comments. #, // and /*/ are ubiquitous and (IMHO) very unoffensive. @OP, any particular reason you opted for {- -}? No hate, just curious

xslang.org also looks great and I found the text in the guide + docs to be easy to read. I usually have to read C#/TS docs, so it was refreshingly terse.

FOSS contributions are contest-like in your mind?

Commercial software development will increasingly become dominated by the 'get shit done' types who had less appreciation for the craft. The slop will flow and no one will care, because the people who cared for the craft will have left or been pushed out. A shame.

Notable quotes:

>There’s the 4x speedup claimed by the Bun team, already available on Zig 0.16.0!

>Each [incremental] update is taking less than 0.4s, compared to the 120+ seconds taken to rebuild with LLVM. In other words, incremental updates are over 300 times faster on this codebase than fresh LLVM builds are. In comparison, an enhancement capped at a 4x improvement is pretty abysmal. [..] Again, this feature is available in Zig 0.16.0—you can use it!

Load from paying customers vs. load from nonpaying users would be interesting to know. No doubt omitted deliberately.

People who let AI do their thinking at any level never valued it in the first place. "Use it or lose it", as they say. The count of studies backing this up continue to rise and yet so do the articles saying LLM use in software development is fine because our value is in our thinking.

>Tech hosts a particularly virulent and ideological strain of anti-AI activism; I think because the disruption it threatens for our jobs is much less abstract than it is for everybody else.

We know how the sausage is made. Your non tech folk only see the marketing/hype, so of course they're optimistic.

000ooo000 — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 06:57:02 +0000

Is it irrational to wonder how large swathes of the population will earn a living if their employable skills vanish in a couple of years, with little prospect for retraining into something else that AI hasn't replaced? Is it irrational to wonder what effect an influx of the AI-replaced will have on remaining AI-free fields? Is it irrational to wonder about the psychological impact of work where one simply operates the AI instead of thinking, creating, growing? Is it irrational to wonder if wealth inequality will spiral when these essentially-unobtainable resources are used by a select few to enact the above scenarios?

I can only assume you have easy answers for all of these questions given your casual dismissal of such concerns, likening them to being scared of a light switch.

Skill issue. It's the most popular VCS in the world by a huge margin, millions of devs use it every day just fine, countless forges have been built around it, and there's only one semi-compelling alternative frontend (jj). If you honestly find Git challenging, how are you coping with software engineering? Git is the easy part.

Wouldn't put too much weight on HN comments boosting AI. Lots of brand new accounts, obvious LLM drivel ("it's not X, it's Y"). I just tried to reply to one to call out how overt it was and the comment was already killed, so they're definitely here.
