most work in software jobs is not making one-off scripts like in your example. a lot of the job is about modifying existing codebases which include in-house approachs to style and services along with various third party frameworks like Spring driven by annotations, and requirements around how to write tests and how many. AI is just not very helpful here, you spend more time spinning wheels trying to craft the absolute perfect script than just making code changes directly.

"Russia-aligned threat"... so... the US?

HN isnt a monolith

Tell that to the moderation team.

The HN users are the "moderation team"

There is one official mod who steps in occasionally. He is not the one flagging stories or comments. If a big story becomes unflagged, that is his doing more often than not

he beat his wife on video, that is who Zuck likes now, kinda strange

Middle Ground Fallacy

Fallacy fallacy

The middle ground between hyping the new tech and being completely skeptical about it is usually right. New tech is usually not everything it's hyped up to be, but also usually not completely useless or bad for society. It's likely we're not about to usher in the singularity or doom society, but LLMs are useful enough to stick around in various tools. Also it's probably the case that a percentage of they hype is driven by wanting funding.

Except for cryptocurrencies (at least their ratio of investments to output) :-p

if you can't read Romanian then your insights into a Romanian report aren't very useful.

union

All for unions. But how does a union stop this?

Or this

lol and all those endless "we're hiring" Flexport ads, even after they did layoffs

It wasn't just them, but another dozen or so YC startups who've been around for many years and always keep a job ad in the queue. It's not their fault for doing that—it's my fault for neglecting the HN job ad system for too long. I get that the community doesn't like seeing the same ads over and over for the same few, long-established companies.

We recently changed the HN /jobs page to gradually reduce the frequency of those. Newer startups, who by definition haven't been around long enough to have had many posts, should be significantly better represented. The system has been designed to favor them for a long time, but it's favoring them more now.

If it helps, the system works great on an honor system. Have a community of passionate hackers, a site encouraging those hackers (some of which may be part of the community) to start up their own business and realize their ides, and the ad system would have good actors on both sides the pipeline. Interesting jobs for a community of passionate people.

I feel like that "honor" comes and goes with the economy though. Anything for an applicant to survive, anything for a job poster to make the company look good for investors.

i am sure it will do great handling error cases and pixel perfect ui
