Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

kinda glad I bounced off of the suckless ecosystem when I realized how much their config mechanism (C header files and a recompile cycle) fucking sucked

Gave up on st in favour of alacritty after realizing I deserve nice things like clickable links and scrolling without maintaining a dependency hell of patches.

I think they toned down the nazi shit around the time when my tolerance for that brand of edginess began to dip towards the crust punk bartender's level, so I've given them a huge benefit of doubt.

I somehow didn't remember them doing a mock Charlottesville, though. I'm disappointed but at this point not too surprised.

Thankfully my desire for a community of software minimalist C curmudgeons and Unix nerds is adequately fulfilled by friends IRL whom I know for sure not to be fascist assholes.
