Had a listen, these are some pretty right wing populist views, the fact they are immigrants feels like something to take that edge off. The people they interview are mostly awful, David Starkey, Tommy Robinson (Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon), eww...
I’d be really interested in other’s workflows regarding this.
I’m finding the pressure at work to be faster and more productive gets in the way of actual learning.
I’m starting to believe that code will not matter soon, as long as it works, then everything will just be a single natural language interaction to make a change.
You make a valid point, but my comment wasn't about resources, it was about empathy. Factory farming isn't sustained by poverty, it's sustained by indifference. The majority of people who could easily choose alternatives simply don't think about it.
I grew up in a poor household and we were vegetarian, because we saw animals as living things with feelings, not commodities whose pain and suffering is meaningless.
I agree you can't live without some level of cruelty, but you can certainly live without contributing to one of its most obvious forms.
This is the insight that most people need but will never have, empathy for other living things seems to be greatly lacking amongst the general population.
100% agree, I rely on HN for genuine insight, recently I've found it really difficult to trust what I'm reading. For instance this thread → https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47247639 has so many new accounts all saying that how brilliant the product is.
Personally I find the advert a bit confusing, even with an understanding of what they are trying to achieve and their business. Was expecting something along the lines of Led By Donkeys...
I used to work as a designer at an art fabricators in the UK that produced alot of the top artists work, turner prize winners, etc. I can no longer look at a sculpture and not see design decisions, like, how will this fit through a door, how will we package it, etc. sort of ruined the magic for me.
Agree with focusing on doing it because you enjoy it, something gets lost when we try and impress others; I'm sure we can all remember being a child and doing things purely because we enjoyed it.
However, I disagree with the personal style part of things, or trying to make things look good. These things don't have to be about impressing an audience. It can be just as much about enjoying the process.
