I got you a gold star ;) Excited to use this, as I've been frustrated by vendor lock-in for this exact use case.

Wow, thanks for your honesty here. I'm commenting primarily to commend your decision-making which I couch in empathetic understanding. I saw your post and immediately thought, "good, surprised it took {any organization leaving github} this long." I don't hate big M nor the 'github ecosystem' (except maybe github actions, which seems to get 10x the attention it deserves); the challenge is I perceive far better solutions to be chosen which would serve the open source world if we simply deploy a slight increase in cognitive energy.

My comments have a weird history: either I display technical prowess and flavor my comment negatively (as is statistically more common on HN), or I get downvoted. My response is to spend less time on HN :D if I want pressure to think a certain way by people with limited skin-in-the-game in my life, i'll just show up to a fundamentalist church ;)

Can we get one which scans for downvotes on comments which are either positive or in anyway against any dominant narrative in HN? *If you feel attacked by this comment, you know exactly what to do. Do it. Fulfill your destiny.

Do you think that Junie specifically inside the context of jetbrains IDEs and tooling matches the competitors?

I got downvoted on another post mentioning VCs. Confirmed everything I already knew about the sheeple

std::process::exit(sarcasm)

seriously though, this is HN. I'm done complaining about it. I'd like to encourage different behavior, yet my experience has taught me the opposite: Be open to offering feedback in the case feedback is requested or required. In any other case, disengage.

dawwww poor hn user's are afraid of their VC's Imagine disliking an analysis which favors smaller users. Before i ever commented on a single HN post, I was told repeatedly how cynical, negative, and sarcastic HN was. Hm.

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?)

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?

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.
