jmloop··on Ask HN: Does anyone else feel like nothing matters anymore?
Keep learning things, create, do it because you like it not because you want to sell it. Think of all the books, music and movies produced before AI, they are still there waiting for us to enjoy.

Can you imagine a world where AI is the only source of truth? Can you imagine the level of bias and manipulation that beast can have?

Let's keep playing without cheats.

"Don't Take the Black Pill - Andrew Kelley | SSW 2026"

Abstract: In our modern world, it's easy to feel like things are careening out of control; that the future is happening to us while we take a back seat... and all we can do is lie down and rot.

jmloop··on UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions
I don't think it's about the legacy of football and blah. UEFA (Europe) may be left out of deals, that's about this reaction. They don't give a shit about sport and people. There are more important issues in the world right now than football; does any big organization stand up and call for these actions to stop? Millionaires complaining about other millionaires.

jmloop··on Astro is a return to the fundamentals of the web
Oh no, go read about AJAX. You may be too young, there's no revolution here. I celebrate your curiosity, it's still a wheel. Changing the name it's still reinventing it.
jmloop··on Company built its own rail terminal in NYC to avoid relying on trucks
Some countries "destroyed" their own railways systems in favor of roads, buses and trucks. Progress they say. It's sad.
jmloop··on Agile Is Dead
Of course, Agile manifesto is bad so I create a new one. Now let's see if we can start making conferences, writing books and release new versions every year.

Some teams don´t need Agile. In many products it doesn't make even sense to use it.

I think we like to gather and discuss how to fix the world, but we know shit. The people that want to get the things done just need the resources (time, tools, money, etc). Facilitators, that should be the role of PMs.

jmloop··on Zed AI
It doesn't mean your code is NOT being uploaded somewhere. They could add an easy switch to use the editor 'offline', not that they have to. I'll go back to Helix.
jmloop··on Gnome Mess Is Not an Accident
Yes, there are some things to fix and make it better, it is impossible? I don´t think so. I've found GNOME to be simple and cleaner than other DEs, yes, you can go full tiled or even no DE at all, its a personal decision and its great that you have the change to do it.

But hey, if you paid for that product and is not working, you should get your money back.

Maybe getting people to agree with you in a more constructive way can have a better response than ranting around (ranting is an old trend, we should stop doing it).
