But seriously, betting on stocks is not an "investment". This is like the first thing you gotta learn in order to not get gently-caressed over by the market. My rule of thumb: if it's not insured somehow, its just speculation (which can be profitable, but never an "investment").

HN skews heavily toward the SF signature vc-hype tech-driven-dev style, always chasing the new thing, sometimes to the detriment of everything else.

QA got it so bad in the current LLM-fueled carnival of stupid. Also, what would be categorized in the times of yore as a "lamer" has incredible free tools at their disposal, so vulnerabilities are a lot more common.
