this is the only correct response.

That's interesting, what makes you think that? Not long ago, I was working on my degree in Computer Science (Software Engineering), and we were heavily drilled on this principle. Even then, I found it amusing how all the professors were huge fanboys of SOLID. It was very dogmatic.

Apologies, the nodejs comment above therefore is wrong. I don't seem to be able to edit it anymore.

Yes!

> With the llms these days, any linux issue is fixable within minutes. I think this point is really it. What in the past needed a 40min google search to fix something, llms now fix it in seconds.

I liked it. It has a similar feel to an Andy Weir "The martian" type of novel.

I completed a CS degree just a year ago, and they absolutely wrecked us with UML. I’m still recovering mentally.

I can't say I relate at all (5 years of experience). They'll have to pry my 1000-line .zshrc from my cold, dead hands. For example, zsh-autosuggestions improves my quality of life so ridiculously much it's not even funny.

A better analogy: imagine if someone built a public water fountain, then chess.com set up next to it selling the exact same water for $100/year while limiting the public fountain to 1 cup per day through lobbying. Then they sponsored all the popular hydration influencers to only drink their bottled water on camera.

> Cause you can just go to a bar and get it for free.

Not at the same convenience, can you ;) So they are selling convenience. Chess.com isn't selling convenience - both platforms are websites you access identically. They're not offering portability or solving a distribution problem. They're artificially limiting a digital service that costs them essentially nothing to provide unlimited access to.

Chess.com is fundamentally a scam operation masquerading as a premium service. They've built an empire by paywalking features that should be free - and ARE free elsewhere. Lichess proves every single day that unlimited puzzles, deep analysis, opening exploration, and even advanced features like studies and cloud analysis don't need to cost a dime. They're open-source, ad-free, and completely transparent about their finances.

Yeah, it’s textbook USdefaultism.

"Look how global we are… as long as you have a U.S. address, the correct passport, a bank account in a supported country, a smartphone with the correct OS."

I get that it works, and it's actually pretty cool that you can do this. But honestly, it feels like it would good, readable code into a tangled mess pretty fast.

No wonder the site is being hugged to death. 128MB is not a lot. Maybe it's worth to upgrade if you post to hacker news. Just a thought.

Fascinating! I want to get into this type of stuff. But I have no idea where to start, I just have just a CS degree and 3 years experience as a developer.
