Go on a vacation with an engineer and make him breakfast and and hug him daily. (Worked for my wife)

Leave.

Probably not fixed rate.

Every country hates on its poor in different ways: in the USA it’s the lack of healthcare, in the Uk the lack of long term fixed rate mortgages.

ottime notizie. vietare google e monetizzare le bellissime spiagge, e mangiare pasta autentica.

I am in the opposite camp. I want to work for the author of the article because he gets it and he has humility, a trait that top level commenter (who informs us unironically in his profile that he likes grapes and other plants) needs some work on.

Author seems to have struck a nerve with many such programmers in this comments section.

Agree with this part.

> we, the users, are compliant with such abuse of monopoly.

But Bolt is not a monopoly. There are many taxi services in Riga.

> I invite you to boycott any company that forces (or coerces) you to install an app...

I do not think I will boycott Bolt just because you hacked their product and somehow become outraged. Bolt rides are cheaper than the alternative and .. the app works. The alternative mainstream taxi app needs an ios upgrade, and the ios upgrade fails on my shitty old phone.

Edit: There is no uber in riga looks like. Nice work, but running a company that generates cash at scale is hard. So i am sympathetic to the app developer.

Someone wrote a goddamn wayland compositor and you shrug it off like it’s nothing?

Nobody gives a rats ass about your opinion about its usefulness. I’m installing this tonight.

I have to bet you have released little or no open source software.

Not sure why corporate drones like you visit hacker news. Why not go start middle-management-cop out news and take your office-worker-class opinions with you?

Nah. America is going to get another nationalist president, the EU will go its own way. The future does not look like the past.

have you seen the profiles of these new "partners"?

The number of "a16z partner" announcements on twitter lately make me think a16z is becoming something of a joke.
