To be fair, the other 50% of the story is that we collectively listen.

It’s been a long while since I found a Chinese CEO’s post on HN.

If you’re on Gmail, there’s “plus addressing” - this allows you to append any term after your email - and then sort accordingly.

So if your Gmail is [email protected] you can use [email protected] and the mail will still end up in your mailbox. Then you can create a rule that sorts incoming mails accordingly.

Doesn’t the question then become “is there still an objective advantage to good code”

If the answer is yes then it’s a tragedy - but one that presumably will pass once we collectively discover it. If not, then it’s just nostalgic.

This. There’s no limitation to your prompting. If you feed rules and patterns for clean code to a bunch of agents they’ll happily work on that level.

Just right now no one cares enough yet. Give it a year or two.

I could conceive something evolving on a different abstraction layer - say, clean requirements and tests, written to standard, enhanced with “common sense”

Was that an LG?

Is it possible and cost-covering to create an ad-sponsored service that discloses what ad networks collect about users - i.e. age, location, preferences, interests, pregnancy, illnesses etc?

Because let’s be honest - all of us know that a lot of data points are being collected about us, countless articles have been written about the insanity of cookie and user-data monetization networks - still it appears to be a privilege to few to tap into that data trove.

I personally haven’t seen an effort to try and make this transparent. Efforts like this page are commendable and informative, much like amiunique or other services - still they lack the tangible information that sharing this information with “the world” reveals about an affected individual.

Why hasn’t this been done yet? Why is this seemingly not trivial?

Even more than that, we need the people that hold people to the rule. While it’s nice to have a law, you need someone who cares enough to enforce it.

Care to elaborate what perspective the author has been missing and why these lessons or words are ignorant?

Why isn’t this higher up on HN? If true that feels like an unprecedented influence over socials

Finally! I’m a kid of the 80s and I’ve been waiting for this for so long! Thank you!

Serious question: so to all posters above me in this thread, do you do HN regularly as a social but just avoid other sites?

it bugs me to an unreasonable extent that he finished one person short of 7777.

The system and the fact that he executed it though is genius.
