Engineer-types definitely knew that way before Linus.
Thing is, either you’re a straight-up asshole like Linus or you’re a passive-aggressive asshole like every project lead who believes in their strong Code of Conduct. Or your product is a failure.

Fascinating comparison. The Hiroshima bomb killed about 1/4 of population instantly, and about 1/3 in a year’s time. 7 hiroshimas (if distributed evenly) in Gaza would probably wipe out like 9/10 of the population in minutes and make the remaining living envy the dead.
The only way to completely avoid things developed by vibe coding will be to stop using computers of any kind. Go full Thoreau.
Rust is fearlessly upholding the whole thing even without touching it. Incredible!
Your aim is low if you’re going against millionaires.

As a company they’re not looking great though yea.

Some guy just recently brought two Rivians to the country and it got into national news. So I’m guessing those two are the only ones here.
Thank you for the daily reminder on which side is the not-so-horribly-fucking-evil side.

Like bumping your head on something repeatedly then seeing somebody else bump their head, laugh at them and then bump your own head again. Political slapstick.

Besides, a 33-year old is probably gonna be a better choice than a 67-year old regardless of politics.

These are fine, but seems to me that they’re taking much more than that. The clumsy UX, that is. Tesla is probably based on Linux too.
This is my experience based on test driving VW ID.7 and Hyundai Ioniq 6 this year. I think I’ll check out Polestar 4 next, but if it sucks in the same way, I might be discouraged to try further and just keep my Tesla.
Taper out, your body and brain will get used it it in about a week or two. If you’re like me life will stop having meaning as a side-effect. My longest time away from coffee was 3 months, and my mind did totally not get used to it in that time.
I have no doubt about coffee being a pretty hard (even if benevolent) drug.
