I didn't know you created Yaak!

I just downloaded Yaak and it's been awesome, thank you!

I downloaded this through AUR on Arch and one bit of feedback is that I wish you'd make the sig verification a whole bunch easier, thanks!

This is a great and valid point. Not only for this company, but companies in general where we see a high volume of recurring posts over a period of time.

I've had a very similar experience to yours. It allowed me to quickly understand why we see their job postings littered across the web at such a high rate over the years. My take away was that they demand more than they are willing to provide.

My experience with is it has been wonderful for getting started and immediatly becoming productive with very complex systems. Most of those systems have 1 (or very few) experts who need to help everyone else with their setups. When problems arise, and they often do, they've become the bottleneck and Codespaces removes that. Those experts can focus on keeping just that up globally versus locally for each individual.

Outside of that scenario, complex systems, I've experienced it to be overkill. The negatives that come along with using such systems haven't outweight the benefits.

To the point of the commenter, you can't read that as it's blocked. A better approach is to change the link to this HN post.

A lot of this now is also about supporting others within your community. I'm sure you do this with code, support junior developers? Now we're in an era where you can do the very same, but for those creating products, too.

> I don't know. Building a product with so many dependencies feels very amateur, error prone, and prone to instability.

I bet if most were honest, and reviewed their code dependencies (external libraries) you could make the exact same statement.

> Again, it's just a gut feeling from some old dude that has been doing software since the late 90s. Maybe it's just the way things are done nowadays.

It's just an extension of doing what you're most likely already doing, and firmly believe in.

Could you talk about how you get the other 60% to 70% of customers?

Thanks!

The problem is...that we need this level of creative thinking in the first place.

We need hacks like this so that we can make it through a completely broken industries interviewing process.

This isn't about a Zoom call.

This is about companies taking massive, quick capital to rapidly expand head count at such a rate to which this inevitably occurs.

It lacks responsibility, care, empathy, or even the slightest bit of concern for those that have invested their opportunity cost of being a part of your company.
