New comment by joeyhage in "You're Not a Better Engineer Because You Type Git Commands by Hand"

> In 2026, if you are not delegating this kind of engineering overhead to AI, you are burning money. And, more importantly, you are burning your life.

AI use can be a divisive topic among developers but I generally believe it is a useful tool. That said, please don’t broadly advise people on what’s best for their life. It will only make people push away from AI more.

addy.io and proton pass are both great, affordable options. (Proton pass has a built in hide-my-email feature that supports custom domains)

Completely agree - have you encountered this before? The Gmail plus sign alias trick has been widely known for a long time and, to my knowledge, still works well today. It would be easy enough for websites to either block + in gmail addresses or instead grab the true email.

Most people know this but the _real_ reason it explains things is that GitHub is owned by Microsoft. Oh, and Microsoft moved GitHub to Azure

New comment by joeyhage in "VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare"

What I meant was the project would stay FOSS forever, so that would mean all future updates including features, bug fixes, and patches. My understanding is the license can be changed at any time so then you would only have FOSS access for the code up until the point in time the license changed.

That said, I completely agree that there’s a better solution.

Everything Cloudflare is announcing could have been done without acquiring VoidZero. The part they aren’t saying is the greater influence they will have on the roadmap and protecting themselves from someone else acquiring vite and making it closed source and/or monetizing it. We’ve seen it so many times - a project promises to stay free and open source, but things change. Are there any licenses or contracts that a project could use and would hold up in court that they need to stay FOSS forever?

New comment by joeyhage in ""What a joke": GitHub Copilot's token-based billing spurs backlash among devs"

joeyhage — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 16:25:23 +0000

Is this going to be the final straw for some organizations to leave GitHub? Genuinely curious what folks think since recent GitHub outage posts on HN have been filled with frustration, but previously GitHub Copilot was a steal.

Is this going to be the final straw to cause a larger exodus from GitHub? Genuinely curious what folks think since recent GitHub outage posts on HN have been filled with frustration, but at the time GitHub Copilot was still a steal.

There’s a lot of nuance to this. Regarding the former, what if someone used unethical or illegal means to produce the work? And regarding the latter, we can choose to provide constructive criticism out of kindness. Apathy or silence is a disservice to others in some cases.

> as is the case with the recently launched IPv6 endpoint and the public regional endpoint

It isn't explicitly stated in the RCA but it is likely these new endpoints were the straw that broke the camel's back for the DynamoDB load balancer DNS automation

New comment by joeyhage in "Our efforts, in part, define us"

joeyhage — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 14:07:18 +0000

As others have mentioned, LLMs require a lot of effort to get it right. Personally, I still prefer writing code over writing LLM prompts but I’m trying to find the right balance. I will always enjoy refactoring so I tend to have the LLM get me most of the way there and leave the polishing for myself.
