cab11150904··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025)
Sourcing a vendor to unravel 2 decades worth of VBA macros that are the backbone of a company so that we can make it more modern and scalable/extensible.

So basically the nobody wants to work of the business longevity world? What is the actual difference? If their goal is profitability and eventually retirement why not do it on an accelerated timescale and exit with millions in their 30s instead of hundreds of thousands in their 70s?

I think the real "vibe coders" in the end will be people like me. Making neat little personal projects that don't use many resources and can be relatively insecure because they don't matter much. I made wannawatchsomething.com with no knowledge of how it works and full knowledge that it's insecure and dumb. It still does what I want and I couldn't have done it a year ago so it's a net win.

It is insanely disgusting and tone deaf to equate any of this to slavery.

Is this the new form of opinion erasure? If you disagree it must be AI?

Caring about spoiled rich people = Intelligent Discourse

Caring about marginalized and needy people = Cynical Loser.

Missed that by a mile.

Well fear not for me. It is just hyperbole. Now it's a haiku.

Well as long as they're not a white man, the only 2 privileges that I was afforded on the way up, then they're welcome to try absolutely any punishment they see fit. They're surely welcome to hate me. It is their right.

On what basis? You're assuming that this feeling is wrong. It is not. There is no need for correction.

This is a pretty dumb redduht level comment. I'd personally probably just remove it.

Why now and not before? Because some spoiled manbaby lost his cushy job?
cab11150904··on Tailscale has raised $160M
t weekend was looking into setting up a personal networking solution- and looked hard at TailScale and their competitors. I do not like- that Tailscale has chosen to only allow SSO sign-in - as that forces one to have a Microsoft,Github[MS], Google, or Apple account- and I presume that leaves one at the mercy of those companies for the free option.

What is going on with your sentences man.

cab11150904··on The April Fools joke that might have got me fired
I won't read this as by rule I am against everything related to pranks, and especially today of all days. I will take this space however to say that we should really do away with this nonsense.

Good. How is this a problem. Private platforms have the right to do this.

God I hate potheads. It’s like they beg you to dislike them.
cab11150904··on Operation Leg – a pilot unlike any other (2020)
Ben is unlikely to ever be surpassed as in author in my eyes. I have read most of his books, well listened on Audible during my commutes, and they are all amazing. He quite literally brings history to life for me. His descriptions make you feel like you're there. Prisoners of the Castle is the one I haven't really had interest in but I'll probably get it at some point just to hear them all.

Thank you for keeping me from even opening the article. No caps just sounds like someone whimpering in a corner.
cab11150904··on A place for things I can't talk to anyone about
Thanks for giving it a read. I am abundantly social. The exact opposite of my wife so nausea to he found. It's more finding and scheduling for me.

Yeah weird. It actually does work on my desktop. Maybe the square space URL isn’t redirecting properly for everybody yet. chrisberry-tech.pages.dev should work until it’s fixed.

I have been feeling down lately but had no idea why. I decided to write down the answer I came to in a few paragraphs. If that sounds like something you care to read, read on.

It's actual the height of privilege. And likely unrecognized and unappreciated privilege. It really is sad that the divide is so large that the person that can turn down jobs thinks they're the oppressed.

I love that I can always count on the internet to tell me why cool new things are dumb and not useful.

My son absolutely loves space so this will be huge to him. He is not even 10 yet and all of this is his future. If he sticks to this interest he will see things in his lifetime that I never get to dream of seeing. I guess that's true for all parents but this seems more exciting.

No capitals and useless cussing. Didn't make it past the first 2 sentences.

Computers as a whole seem so boring nowadays. I get that we all have supercomputers in our pockets, and it should be amazing, but it's just dull.
