IMHO not rolling your own auth is asking for stuff like this to happen.

Where does it say it isn't the easiest language to write? It says the exact opposite in the second paragraph.

Literally within this thread someone has already suggested using ruff instead of Black and nobody here are colleagues.

When I joined my first startup, they said if you didn't have a good plan for going public or getting acquired by series C, then the D in series D stood for death. Uber et al raised like a J round. None of the rules around markets or investments are real, it's all vibes-based, and the decision-makers love talking to their ChatGPT mistresses too much to let this all come crashing down.

Probably safer to assume that they always had someone serving in this position and they recently left.

A rebuttal would spend some time trying to make a case, this is a petulant complaint.

it sounds more like they can choose not to work with you just like in America, but maybe the reasons are allowed to be more spurious

It's hilarious how much this post reads as drafted by an LLM. The emdash, "it's not X, it's Y" framing, incredible.

Ah, it really wouldn't be HN without baselessly accusing other posters you disagree with.

Some of the most profitable ventures this century have been objectively illegal, but when you know you won't go to prison for violating the law, why would you care to follow it?

Looks like they did literally nothing in 2024?

MVNOs are like second or third-tier citizens on mobile carriers, why would Apple hand a lever like that to, say, AT&T?

Sure, but why post a tutorial of how to spin this up in GCP instead of...productizing it in GCP?

It seems utterly absurd to me that anybody should be able to issue a copyright claim on a collection of colors and fonts. Copyrights are issued to logos and slogans, not design systems.

No questions, but a heartfelt thank you. I've used wire for years and plan to continue doing so. :)

They don't "have" to be any of those things. People are not consistently rational actors, as evidenced by your continued advocacy for Emacs.
