The problem is that this entire sclerotic industry is so allergic to accountability, that, if you want people to start, you probably have to fire 90% of the workforce. If it were up to me, the developers responsible for this would never write software "professionally" again.


The industry (or a couple of generations currently inhabiting it) could start with at least accepting responsibility when something goes wrong. Let me be clear: it's not about ending the "blameless culture" in engineering. No. It's about ending the culture of not taking any responsibility at all, when things go south. See the difference.


A privileged question that can only come from someone who has never been truly threatened. Bravo, you're the reason why everyone hates tech companies.


What? This makes no sense, and your baseless assumptions add nothing. Perhaps you misunderstood my question.


How much of your own land would you hand over if you were invaded and slaughtered? I hope you sleep well, because a lot of Ukrainians haven't for three years.


you don't care about Ukrainians. If you did, you'd want peace. Fake empathy, reprehensible.


You're making the same (intentional?) mistake as Trump and Vance in assuming that Putin / Russia will comply with deals / agreements / diplomacy.

Putin / Russia has a history of changing their minds in short order and trampling all over prior diplomacy.

The "peace" you're after is temporary, and it won't be Ukraine that breaks it.


Do you feel better about yourself now?


Where is he wrong?


I'm so sorry someone is holding a gun to your head and making you read Hacker News.


Sure, I can just ignore those articles, so lets open it up and just have /new as the front page. No harm, right, it definitely won't caause a change in the character of the site or attract a different audience.

Sheesh, think about the other point of view for more than 10 seconds please instead of just reacting.


No, because Zelenskyy is a president whose country has been invaded, and Trump is a bully who craves power. These two men are not equivalent, and if you can't see that, then you are beyond help.
