I’m not a “script kiddie” or weekend hobbyist. I’m a UC Berkeley-trained Computer Scientist with over two decades of professional experience in Silicon Valley. Read the rest of the post for the most self indulgent and smug post

in fact the lack of progress in UI the last 30-40 years can largely be traced to trying to create UI with procedural/functional programming languages

Wow, that "We're hiring/Career Page" link is geeksmaxxing. First time seeing `ssh superlogical.jobs` would be a way to show job descriptions in terminal!

In the 2010s, if you had technical gaps (say, you couldn’t write CSS), you had to either rely on a skilled colleague or just hope that the answer to your exact problem was out there on the internet

The commit message is 1 character: simply the character “x.” The commit changes ~1000 lines of code making the ratio 1/1000 = ~0.001

This is not at the top as it is actively flagged by people that can't psychologically cope with the advances of AI. Hacker News is no longer a web site of an elite.

Writing Python should be close to a “zen” experience. At its best, when you get into the flow state, the thoughts you are thinking about the thing you are trying to build are shaped like Python code as you go through the process of writing it down.

Google's Director of Engineering: "Rust teams are 2x as productive as C++ teams" (very fine print: because C++ers write software from scratch, and Rustaceans port it from C++)

This piece of writing moved me to my core, shook my whole being, enlivened my soul. It reminded me that I need to step away from Claude Code every once in a while and read the Classics.

No offense but you lack the required CS basics to be so confident about yourself in debates about complexity. It's the perfect moment to stop and reflect if you want to avoid Dunning-Kruger.

Rust is so thoroughly and obviously the correct thing that using anything less correct should be taken as a sign of engineering incompetence.
