Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

orange site thread which is so popular dang has had to do his standard begging so folks go easy on paully g’s surely world class Lisp code running the site (fucking imagine running a programming site on a shit single-threaded server you can’t fix)
the thread is too gigantic to do pull quotes, but the number of poor delusional fucks who’ve decided this must be due to Altman’s business genius (somehow), the birth of an AGI that’s blackmailing the board, that this is just how executive boards normally act, or are just generally arguing that these severely out of touch rich folk must all be acting reasonably and legally in spite of all experience to the contrary is kind of astounding

The ink on his dismissal letter isn't even dry (modern HP printers suck!) and people are putting this kinds of websites out there already. Somebody didn't think if they should while it was clear they couldn't. "Site built with ❤️ and ChatGPT" (Also starting a gossip website isn't love).
tough ❤️
And https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/111429445440149721 is a promising one too

I am of course not surprised their software is the way it is (subversion commits are dangerous to a man of paulie g’s stature, of course), but it is hilariously recursively poignant: the very site where you may find a number of Weekend Code This-ers who - because of the mere trick of advancement in computing technology - may actually be right (for writing a new orange site)……just couldn’t
Who said satire is dead?!
denise glares at the ddos and it skulks away
What? This can't be real? My custom code I cooked last year for a webservice in python is able to run multiprocess by now. How do there people still have high-paying jobs and I am stuggling monthly? goddamn!
I can’t imagine how bad Arc (the fucking ugly Lisp variant paully g wrote hacker news in) must be if it’s a Racket DSL that can’t use any of Racket’s many threading abstractions
It's designed to be the perfect language for writing 2001 e commerce websites in.
Because people get paid not for technical output but for popularity of the products they create (And if you don't own the company then you don't even get that). bla bla bla capitalism bla bla markets bla bla
Ye I'm aware of the systematic injustice, just wanted to rant a bit :D
I figured, I also wanted to rant a bit. Post in TechTakes, it is cheaper than therapy.
