Yeah it looks nothing like it. Garbage.

There relevance of this vague piece to HN really escapes me

Highly suspect of content marketing.

Ends with referring to a product, and saying "this is a parody post", after pretending to make a serious point.

jorisw··on Apple has added persistent 'ads' to iOS, and it's driving users crazy
Because they’re not. They’re just a little added row in the Settings app exclusively.

And you can dismiss them.

I haven’t seen any of these. iOS 27.0, in the EU fwiw
jorisw··on When code is a maze, smart developers make maps (2025)
I never said rewrites.

And the more you put in procrastination-encouraging half-solutions, the worse your code base gets.

And yourself putting in comments is the solution to that?
jorisw··on When code is a maze, smart developers make maps (2025)
Patching that up by using comments as a 'map' isn't the right way to deal with that. Refactors and rearchitecture are. Putting in comments just helps procrastinate what's necessary.

Smart developers don’t write mazes.

> In code, comments are our signposts

No. Naming and good architecture are. Intuitive folder trees. Concise docs. Clear separation of concerns such that naming can suffice.

The more comments you need to ‘map’ your code, the worse of a job you’ve done.

Me and my friends were naively hoping Ternus would switch back to the Jobs era format, or at least dial down from today’s.

We all hate the over acted, over produced keynote format of today

Thanks, but don't see how this Issue backs that up.

Per another comment, is it true that you trick people wanting to view your code on GitHub, into starring your repo?

Seriously tried Tidal. Gave up on it because of the software quality.

This app is a dream come true for me. As a user I'm heavily invested in Spotify but I've grown more and more irritated with their client. Especially the recommendations, which thankfully are largely absent from your client.

Would love a setting to also remove the "Made for you" section, as well as the "Recommended for you" section, both on the home page.

I was using Spicetify to customize the official client to this effect, using CSS.

> that Brexit was an unrepeatable disaster (which it wasn't, check the data for yourself).

OK thanks I'll go find and check the data to back up your claim

Blanket statement, no backup
jorisw··on Don't Paste the AI, please
> So I guess everyone had better just settle in and get used to some serious profound disrespect

Nope. Because the individual end user still and already has a choice. A choice to write an email (or whatever) on their own. Be it supported by AI research or whathaveyou, or not.

jorisw··on Don't paste the AI, please
My problem isn't who wrote it, but the pretense of something having written by a person while it wasn't.

There's something profoundly disrespectful about it towards the receiver.

jorisw··on Proposal to prohibit vibe coded projects from being hosted on Sourcehut
1 - Where does vibe coding end and agent-assisted engineering start? Where's the line?

2 - How do you enforce this?

jorisw··on Ask HN: How do you manage focus and avoid burnout while working remotely?
Just turn off all notifications and use your comms apps in pull mode (checking them at a time of your choosing) instead.

Do the same with your phone.

People can wait. And they know it. No sensible person is expecting sync comms anymore. Those that still do, are shit out of luck.
