It won't be monetized until they create a new monetization policy where they get a greater revenue share from it.

Because almost every HR department now has a directive to only let people through the screening process who say they are using "fully agentic workflows" even though that's moronic.

It probably opens a prefilled text message and the user still has to hit send. That's the only API I know on iOS anyway.

I care about both and think it's all a disgrace.

Cool white lights are tacky, offensive to the senses, and disruptive to circadian rhythms at night.

Nice to hear someone say it. Like what are we even doing? It's exhausting.

Haha exactly. This screams “we have too many people working here and don’t know what to do with them”.

Actually, HN wouldn’t be discussing it at all, most likely. At least not this much. The design is not only good, it has also successfully incited a passionate response from a bunch of people who don’t appreciate it. Win-win!

Sure, I’m not saying it needs to be kickball. I’m just saying if you find yourself being grounded by an LLM, maybe you should seek out a community of people you do actually like who do something you actually like.

You guys need to touch grass. Go join a kickball league or something.

Can I ask what you choose to manage your library with today? I feel like streaming has made me stray so far from the joy (and pain) of library curation, and I’d really like to get back to it, I just don’t know what folks are using these days.

yawnr — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 02:58:46 +0000

Even something “custom” is still a native component. The JSX you write eventually creates native views. Whether or not those views and components match the style and behavior of stock iOS or Android is a different story, and whether or not there are performance bottlenecks due to React Native’s bridge (now in theory no longer an issue because of a big architecture rewrite called Fabric) is another.

I guess if in the API documentation you are saying the pkey is an int, then someone consuming that data and storing it in their own table would also likely make that the column type. So when it crosses that threshold, your customers’ tables will break.

I think he did a pretty bad job of explaining it if that’s the case though.

Yeah totally you know how people throw thousands of knives from a hotel window and kill a ton of people at a concert? Or at a gay club? Or at a school?

Stop this false equivalence argument, I absolutely despise it

Yeah as someone who has a young child this entire post made me feel like I was taking crazy pills. Working this much with a newborn is toxic behavior and if a company demands it then it is toxic culture. And writing about it as anything but that feels like some combination of Stockholm syndrome, being a workaholic, and marketing spin.

Being passionate about something and giving yourself to a project can be amazing, but you need to have the bandwidth to do it without the people you care about suffering because of that choice.

They’re using the facial recognition on anyone who asks them to identify themselves properly. Not to do their jobs (agree or disagree with the premise of that job), but to intimidate people. They’re just bullies who have their first taste of power since high school.
