Being a principled, critical thinker sure has its costs these days. Yeah, that's right, I said it. Flag me (lol).

Am I allowed to complain about this or do I have to get my VC's approval first

Reminds me of my old "I wonder how easy it would be to measure average internal virtues with automated systems" thought trains

Reminds me of Vercel's Rauch talking about his aggressive 'any UX mistake is our fault, never the user's' model for evaluating UIX. (It is/was Guillermo who says that, right?)

My preferred tool to solve these issues is called 'gitlab'

Ask HN: How do you walk away from a project you care about?

rtaylorgarlock — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:51:25 +0000

I like FOSS enough to contribute to projects I care about, which recently means either small $ or Issues/PRs. Recently, I got a 'closed' PR responding to relevant issues; passed all tests, should've improved a small project, etc. Instead of any comment or reasonable response, I get "closed" and the opportunity to walk away. What a gift.

You?

Looks like image was removed and maybe only a demo?

Boy i wish that principle held up in real medicine and other parts of life; "rep and skills" may in some ways equal power, but that false equivalency is how problematic behavior is excused in unfit individuals.

I also prefer to manage version management myself directly, even with llm-gen'd CICD elements, so preferring jj hasn't been nearly as costly for me specifically :D

rtaylorgarlock — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 18:09:28 +0000

I've struggled a bit on this: LinkedIn's positivity echo chamber vs. the negativity-rewarding dunk culture here. No greater power exists on HN than critical thinking using techno-logic in a negative direction, revenue and growth be damned.

Opencode don't have to maintain Zen for so cheaply. I don't have to say anything positive nor encouraging, just like I don't have to sh!t on youtuber 'maintainers' to promise incredible open source efforts which do more to prove they should stick to videos rather than dev. Idk. Not exactly encouraging me to comment at effing all if any positivity or encouragement is responded with the usual "hm idk coach better check yoself" ya honestly I think i know exactly what to do

The OS which requires you to click in order to update also makes it, uh, challenging to resize windows. Sublime. A tiling manager would never.

Dell will design the worst laptop power rail circuits, even after that awful power adapter barrel connector, and still DRM the battery to ensure they alone get revenue on things they designed to fail.

Ah, you new 'round these parts? It's unfashionable to speak directly--we must fragment, hypothesize, add complexity and nuance rather than simply leave someone's slightly vague statement uncorrected. -_-

Has docling improved? I had a bit of a nightmare integrating a docling pipeline earlier this year. Docs said it was VLM-ready, which I spent lots of hours finding out was not true, just to find a relevant github issue which would've saved me a ton of hours :/ allegedly fixed, but wow that burned me bigtime.

Interesting perspective. I've mainly felt like i have 'American privilege' regarding the ease with which i open accounts of basically any sort on a whim, usually with little friction.
