Yes, this is the main point, employees will have less and less leverage (I'm even seeing AI doing interviews now, good luck). Soon we'll be explaining to an AI why we aren't as productive as two weeks ago.

There’s also Yanis Varoufakis’ recent book, Technofeudalism.

HN has had a hate boner for K8s for as long as I can remember.

In my experience, K8s is a million times better than legacy shit it is usually replacing. The Herokus, the Ansible soup, the Chef/Puppet soup before that etc. The legacy infra that was held together by glue and sweat that everybody was afraid to touch.

To be perfectly honest, the seedbox provider had all of these installed and hooked into each other. I only had to add my various logins and configure some profiles. I would think most seedboxes offer a variation of this, so you’re not starting from scratch.

I cancelled all my streaming, and replaced it with a €20 seed box w/ Plex + radarr/sonarr etc. Have everything I want (and nothing else) and movies/shows don't get pulled without me doing it. Won't be turning back anytime soon.

Physical still has the downside of needing space. I have space for books, but not much else.

Thanks for this comment, I've applied a couple of times through WF and the results were the same (not as many times as you did but still). However, I did find a couple of companies through WF but then contacted a recruiter on Linkedin and that did lead to a call or two. YMMV.

Same question as last month, I see this post in every thread since at least November, are you guys actually hiring or just collecting CVs?

New comment by adamors in "Some uncomfortable truths about AI coding agents"

adamors — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 21:05:40 +0000

Exactly, this is like watching youtubers code, ie backseat coding. It’s easy to follow along but taking control midway is anything but, especially in a codebase that has been written by an agent and you don’t have any muscle-memory in.

adamors — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 16:23:00 +0000

He says it just fine. It's about "females" and "elevating the voices of marginalised groups" that he thinks is clearly "discriminatory". Don't think for a second that these people are dumb, they knowingly support this, just refuse to incriminate themselves further in front of people who can hold them accountable. It's no accident that he tries to sound like Musk.

I was thinking the same, are all people he hires LeSomething like those working at Bolson Construction having -son as a suffix.

Not true, prior to 2022 February Russia controlled small parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, now they control them almost entirely, as well as good chunks of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts.

Probably less unhappy than those doomscrolling on Reddit/X/TikTok/BlueSky etc.

Bari Weiss is not a long-time anything, she ran a blog for a couple of years and has been appointed head of CBS to run it into the ground.

It's not that new tho. US Ambassador to the UN under Biden already called Albanese an antisemite. This is just the next logical step in US foreign policy.
