Hacker News Reader

Good ideas are the survivors of lots of bad ideas.

Slack is glorified IRC yet they're worth billions.

Dropbox can be trivially implemented via rsync yet they're worth billions.

There is a canonical hacker news post about Dropbox being useless and a pointless idea at one point :)

I always have a Mandela-effect moment about the Dropbox and iPod dismissive comments with Hackernews and Slashdot respectively.

God I’ old

The post is specifically about how it can "trivially be implemented using rsync" which is why I chose that verbiage :-)

This in fact literally reinforces my point. Ideas are worth ~nothing. Execution is everything. LLMs cannot execute for shit.
