People are dismissive not because of the technology or "you could just do that with a shell script" reasons. They're dismissive because it's security and privacy worst practice to give this data to a third party. Mighty may be an incredible feat of engineering for all I know, but I would tell everyone I know to avoid it because it's a bad idea to hand over your browsing data.

From a privacy perspective alone, it’s a terrible idea to give a company your browsing data.

That is dangerous and certainly not best practice. The critique is valid.

How was there a lack of gatekeepers when it was literally invite only? Doesn't that mean it was only gatekeepers?

A language that is functional from the ground up can be very beautiful, concise and a pleasure to program in. I agree with you though, that bolting functional programming onto Go will make it worse. Especially with the millions of lines of legacy Go code out there, it would essentially become an entirely different language.

> There is nothing preventing people from writing their own reduce() in their own utilities package, and I expect a thriving ecosystem of "even-more-functional-constructs" packages to spring up as soon as generics hit stable.

I really hope this doesn't happen because then you have random utility libraries that "infect" projects for what is essentially basic flow control. I would say stuff like this is best supported in the standard lib and not home rolled.

“Cancel culture” has never been uttered by anyone who’s not on the far right. You all created this boogeyman and it keeps you up at night. The rest of us just call it what it is: consequences for your actions.

The idea of a bunch of right wing reactionaries using ultra crappy Web 2.0 project management software out of spite is actually rather amusing. There’s not enough of you guys to keep it alive though (not that you really did this).

Bluecheck Twitter we’re the only people using Basecamp in the first place. They just destroyed their core market.

Most companies do actually evaluate their vendors. Basecamp built a brand on “management” and just proved they’re maybe the worst in the industry at it. Only on HN are people supporting them. It’s a dead company walking.

The founder’s egomania and the customer name list. I’m not going to give a company run by people stupid enough to put a bullet in the head if their own startup, any money.

They’re not just hemorrhaging employees, they’re hemorrhaging customers too. I know I will never give them money.

This looks like a fatal blow, not a place someone would want to work. I’m sure they’re hiring though so you could probably get a job there and ride it out to the end.

I would define the basics of survival as:

* Basic groceries

* Healthcare

* Housing

I don't think these things are easy to achieve but they seem like obvious goals to societal progress. If not, what are we even progressing towards?

> Also, there are not enough executives to take from them to give to the poor. You need 100 or 1000 times more for that, so the executives theme is a straw man.

I said if a company wants to fill a role, that they should pull from executive pay. The average CEO gets 70-1 the pay of the average employee. There is absolutely a surplus of capital to pull from to increase worker pay (thus filling the role).

> The rest of us are being crushed by inflation.

The top 1% are making more money than ever before. If you're holding assets impacted by inflation, you're doing quite well now.

If we take it as a given that in a modern, humane society no one should starve to death on the street and everyone should have access to the basics of survival, then the answer to the labor "shortage" is simply to shift some of the historically record breaking wealth inequality back down the org chart from the executives to the roles that need filling.

I pay taxes and I'd be super happy if my money went to support people in this country without jobs. It would lower crime and increase the quality of life for everyone living here. I could also be one of those people someday.

Unfortunately many of my tax dollars go to fund a military I find ethically abhorrent instead of improving the quality of life in the US.

If workers refuse to go back into the office, then the corporations will have no option but to support WFH. I for one would never again work somewhere that didn't offer 100% WFH. It would be the first thing I asked about in a hiring interview.

I love working from home and would never work in an office again. I prefer the freedom of schedule, quietness and lack of constant surveillance from my bosses.

It feels like the office was geared 100% for extroverts and finally introverts have an option that works for them. My productivity has never been higher and my stress has never been lower.

I think it's exceedingly rare that there is a false accusation. Not only would the accuser face libel and slander laws, typically the supporters of the accused will put immense pressure on the accuser and also ruin their reputation.

> the only moral thing to do is to support the accuser.

I fully agree.

I'm aware of how libel and slander works. What you say is exactly what I meant. It's the legal avenue available to those who have been falsely accused.

Apparently you think being downvoted for believing the victim of sexual harassment (for real, check my comments) is "trolling". This community has a lot of problems.

I left my feedback for the KeyDB CEO. He can choose to take it, or not.
