The fact that docker still, in 2026, will completely overwrite iptables rules silently to expose containers to external requests is, frankly, fucking stupid.

Indeed. I've had even experienced sysadmins be surprised that their ufw setup will be ignored.

It’s killed mine

Sqlite, the one trick interviewers hate!

I will stay as an individual contributor as long as possible. My one step into team management at 23~ was very enlightening.

Then can you take yourselves back to Reddit or something? This used to be an interesting place to visit that was differentiated from other “hot take” havens on the net.

I find that actually this is basically reddit already. The political reinforcement circle jerk is the same. The bad faith arguments are the same, often by people parroting the accepted status quo while anonymously flagging / downvoting / misrepresenting arguments to those of us with our actual names on our profiles.

Tiresome.

Well, when a good faith [0] submission from a respectable unaffiliated developer is disparaged on a place like reddit by some heavy-handed action, a natural reaction can be something like "Who died and made you bhagwan?"

Now that you mention it, the similarity is more obvious than I thought.

[0] OK, moderate faith, "there's an LLM involved so it's got to be crapware".

Not my downvote btw, never have never will, that's almost as chickenshit as can be. Almost.

I appreciate your ethics. I do not share your views.

I appreciate effort to make this a better place, I just would rather do it with upvotes more than anything else.

I don't prefer slop at all, plus people already know Microsoft has declined more in one recent year than any other, and this Microslop site is kind of a lame response, but it did draw some worthwhile comments. This is the kind of thing that has been on peoples' minds so that's what comes out.

I don't think it's gostsamo promoting his own work, just something he ran across that emphasizes how bad it could get or maybe how bad it already is in some quarters.

Pure slop really and it's bound to get the strongest reaction, but quite interesting when plenty of 90% slop is passing under the radar quite regularly.

YC is basically advising their startups to engage in shitty business practices, like trying to hire UK staff for half the salary and expecting 7 day weeks.

Interesting - it tracks with personal experience.

Honestly, I'd chalked it up as a one-off mistake by an inexperienced team (I had discussed my expected range in our first conversation, so found it odd that they they would waste their own time going through the hiring process only to make me such a stupidly low offer!)

So is this something that they're actually being advised to do? What's the intention behind it?

We should just ban smartphones, it's where a great deal of the harm comes from and is harder for parents to manage. No need for children to have cameras connected to the internet whether via smartphones or computers.

The point of tariffs is that domestic products are more appealing isn't it? It's expected that foreign selelrs just add the tariff to the cost of their product so..

1. 90% instead of 100% is pretty good 2. kind of irrelevant, a better question is how much more money went to domestic companies rather than foreign?

Anthropic models generally are right first time for me. Chatgpt and Gemini are often way, way out with some fundamental misunderstanding of the task at hand.

Microslop must be stopped, absolute cancer of a company
