Flips from Claude tab to Hacker News tab

Yep, makes sense...

Agreed. A better framing would be "defining work".

Going on almost 2 years sober here and I don't regret it. I have an NA beer or alcohol-removed wine maybe 1x/every other week or so and it's a much healthier relationship overall, totally agree with the sentiment of "mornings under control"...and just every more so!

I barely am able to plan groceries for a few days to a week ahead, especially with two middle schoolers eating everything in sight. While I would agree with the sentiment (definitely something will disrupt heat/water/food access), I struggle with actually executing on doing anything other than having some real basics around. 30 days of spare food feels like such an enormous amount of space and material.

I never felt like I had enough time to spend in these spaces. To imagine creating them from scratch…incredible.

Love this thinking and wish we'd see more content like this on HN.

I got an "it is unacceptable" from their CPO on 8/7, and that they are "working around the clock on it".

I really think something deeper is going wrong there, and they're not being honest with their paying customers (and enterprises) about it.

I'm still heartbroken by how this has turned out, and it doesn't feel like things have gotten better over the last 9-10 months. I really feel in 10-20 years we will look back at these events as a dark time for this community. I hope to still be writing Ruby in that future. I hope the wounds here, both personal and professional, actually get healed.

It's rough not having Canada's population in here. There's way more than 100k people in all directions north from Buffalo and it doesn't feel accurate.
