How would you create a configuration file with S-expressions? Wouldn't it require defining operators and a parser?

Wait, so by pseudo-religious you are not referring to the people that worship AI like a panacea that will solve all our problems and can't see what's wrong with it? that's odd

Do you know if they support dynamic DNS? I self host most of my stuff and I have a dynamic IP at home

I'm not sure I get it. If anyone registers a domain first.second.name then you are basically registering a subdomain under second.name, right? You don't own anything, second.name owns your subdomain and can do whatever they want with it

That's what I mean, it's a piece of badly engineered software

Is it, though? Imagine NASA software having to change in-flight every day...

You can call it however you want, but in the end it is just poor engineering. Imaging building a bridge that needs construction every week

That explains why the UI keeps changing.

How is this a proper product? Every time you open the desktop app the buttons may be on a completely random place

Increased code changes should be seen as a bad thing. It's funny that their response is "let's invent a git alternative"

If a module lifespan before it's replaced/refactored is less than a week, then it wasn't a good module to begin with.

This is just hiding all the spaghetti mees that they must have in the back

My bad, I made a typo. I meant "wheel" not "wheels"

What's up with wheels not being round anymore? How is that supposed to work? I understand it for Formula 1, but for real world driving, it doesn't make any sense

In my experience, AI code is really hard to maintain and overly complex which creates unexpected behavior and hard to catch bugs. I inherited some vibe coded repos in my company and it's been really painful removing all the unnecessary complexity

gonzalohm — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 22:35:19 +0000

I don't think that matches what I'm seeing. People use AI, but hand written code is still the norm at my company

gonzalohm — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:55:00 +0000

I fully agree with you. But I feel like I have taken the opposite approach. Staying aligned with the code is such a burden that I don't think AI is making my job easier so I stopped using it.

Phone calls are not bad because they force me to talk. Phone calls are bad because they force me to interrupt what I'm doing to pick up the phone. A text that requires an immediate answer is also annoying. It's not about the medium, it's about being able to disconnect and make myself available whenever I want not whenever other people want

But weirdly you are on hackernews, an online community. I also don't see how the phone can be better than online apps. Phone calls are really intrusive, it forces you to talk with someone when they want as opposed to being an asynchronous method of communication like Whatsapp.

So now we need a decoder to be able to read articles. It's true that it's painful to read and it's good to be called out for it
