Was excited until I found out this is a YC company. And a stereotypical one by the sound of it ("pivot hell" blah blah).

If you're sell is being an unenshittified alternative to github, just give it time

They announced RTX spark days ago. Why is this post linking to a "leak" tweet on the frontpage now?

Why does a company with a seemingly health business model that is already churning profits and doesnt require large CapEx, taking losses to capture users, need to be raising this kind of capital?

Why was it enabled for only 2 of the 5?

Other burning questions: What methodology was used to choose the question set? Why not allow explanations? How many passes were done for each LLM?

And for requiring you to login with an email account to use the terminal.. (They finally removed this after years of complaints, but I dont trust any company with this type of culture)

I think it would be better if you shared a logic based argument as to why you disagree with him?

Yup this reads like post hoc revisionist marketing content rather than an engineers diary

Its gotten so bad that its a meme on the macapps subreddit.

This is the unfortunate real face of open source. So many devs each making little sandcastles on their own when if efforts were combined, we could have had something truly solid and sustainable, instead of a litany of 90% there apps each missing something or the other, leaving people ending up using WisprFlow etc.

Nice vibe coded project. There are a few UX holes i've encountered so far: No way to go to the next lesson if we dismiss the modal (have to go back to the tree and then click the next lesson)? more hints or step wise reveal if user gets stuck will be very helpful

the part that tripped me up is 0 showing in deep RED and I thought that meant I was doing something wrong. I came here, read this and realized I was actually right and then pressed the Run tests button and passed. This is a UX thing you'd want to address

New comment by dcreater in "Oracle files H-1B visa petitions amid mass layoffs"

dcreater — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:08:25 +0000

Yes, Its sad to see the reactionary hate triggered by a misleading article.

The number from 2025 is not really relevant when the layoffs were in March 2026. The article author clearly has a narrative they want to push.

And of the 436 petitions in 2026, only 235 are new hires (remaining are continuing approvals). Hardly a scandal there. Especially if they're likely hiring AI engineers and laying off call center employees - its not like their laying off an american citizen to hire a cheap H1B employee as this article is angling to have the reader believe.

I think my comment was a dissenting opinion, not a personal attack. Its troubling that such a comment would be considered crossing a line

New comment by dcreater in "Show HN: Free alternative to Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, and Monologue"

dcreater — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 02:17:06 +0000

Why do people find the need to market as "free alternative to xyz" when its a basic utility? I take it as an instant signal that the dev is a copycat and mostly interested in getting stars and eyeballs rather than making a genuinely useful high quality product.
