Baristas in NYC don't care about being greeted specifically. They want to take your order so they can move the line along. You will get a very strange look if you try to small talk in a busy cafe.

This is my experience but haven’t used linear in 2 years. Switching to JIRA was miserable.

Compared to near unusable pages that large organizations produce, yes this page is highly effective at conveying information. Who cares how it was produced?

Oh boy, I don’t know about this one. You are born into a body that is so complicated we will perhaps never understand how all of it works. Our society if anything wrangled so much of the chaos of the natural world. It’s hardly simple to live in a world where you are under constant threat from animals, and other humans.

I love boring tech. It's reliable as hell and not as full of hidden surprises. Screw the cutting edge for serious work.

Twilio once put our entire top level account as a sub-account under a national telecommunications company without any notification. Can’t remember how we found out, and nothing broke, but it was a security nightmare that this was possible.

New comment by angrydev in "Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans"

angrydev — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:25:31 +0000

This is some shit, coming with 0 notice at the start of a work week. My exposure to Claude is only via Copilot which has worked very well for my purposes. I didn't have to learn a ton for it to just start working. I guess I'll look into other options now as I really want to continue using Opus, but don't have a need to 4x my spend on Copilot quite yet.

Agree. The issue was never, how can we get our engineers to squirt out more lines of code in a day? It has always been, how can we effectively iterate using customer feedback to deliver the highest quality product. That type of thing needs time to bake.

> “What’s the point of it all?” I thought, LLMs can generate decent-ish and correct-ish looking code while I have more time to do what? doomscroll?

You could look back throughout human history at the inventions that made labor more efficient and ask the same question. The time-savings could either result in more time to do even more work, or more time to keep projects on pace at a sane and sustainable rate. It's up to us to choose.

New comment by angrydev in "GitHub: Git operation failures"

angrydev — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 21:25:06 +0000

Ton of people in the comments here wanting to blame AI for these outages. Either you are very new to the industry or have forgotten how frequently they happen. Github in particular was a repeat offender before the MS acquisition. us-east-1 went down many times before LLMs came about. Why act like this is a new thing?

What a ridiculous comment, as if these outages didn't happen before LLMs became more commonplace.

Exactly. Stop fooling people into thinking there’s a human typing on the other side of the screen. LLMs should be incredibly useful productivity tools, not emotional support.
