post now hidden; for my digital footprint's sake this was an off-handed late night comment expressing my disdain for poor writing in Ready Player 2 & personal thoughts on the novel.

zero. most hardware is not something you can play with easily anymore. Everyone who knew how to do that grew up and put the hardware behind profitable walled gardens

thanks

sorry, hyperbole. don't mean that seriously. I was VERY much not a fan of RP2; I'm sure Neal could be a stand-up guy, just sarcasm that didn't land.

where'd you find out about this algolia link? any other cool HN-adjacent tools that might not be well known?

lmao. noted

crazy how influential that little book is. funny enough, I grew up on Ready Player One, and by the time i got old enough to start seriously getting into tech, reading Snow Crash was like re-reading RP1 but if RP1 was actually a good story and not written by an incel copying Neal Stephenson.

I thought it was the right amount to get the point across. Anything else I'd add on that specific topic can probably be found in another blog, so I only wrote on what I thought would add value for the reader (assuming they're on HackerNews, in VC, etc.)

Thanks for giving it a read, though! More stuff to come, and longer content too :)

hell yeah. thanks :)
