computers are made for automation. programmers were always working on automating things, making other things obsolete, and we have been killing jobs for decades. did you really think we would suddenly stop when it's your job? i'm happy this is happening, genuinely giddy

This kind of comment is extremely detrimental to my enjoyment of HN. They show up in every post now. I wish the mods would start punishing these destructive jerks and not let this toxic behavior become the norm. It's starting to become insufferable.

it's a tool that increases efficiency if you know how to use it. learn how to do it and it'll make your job easier and you become more productive. fight or ignore it and you'll be replaced because you're not doing your job properly

don't listen to ignorant luddite technophobes on the internet, they are like all -phobes intolerant, full of hate and fearful of things they don't understand

yess we know! just this morning i said to my wife "darling i've been thinking about dropzap world again," and she said "the falling block game with lasers that amichail has been working on for many years? me too!"

i said "he thinks he has something that works now" and she responded "i know, it's amazing"

of course we know amichail. it's all we're talking about these days

it's ironic when you point out dupes, even though there's often an earlier comment with a link to the dupe. you don't even think to check for dupes while playing dupe police in your obsessive mania

people give me grief all the time because i don't use proper capitalization in my texts. they even ridicule me if i say "you understand what i mean so who cares"

but i don't get to do the same thing when they say stupid shit like "smol". that's just normal, while i am retarded
