You’re layering several hypotheticals on top of each other, which leads to progressively distant possibilities. Good on you for caring about humans though

For what it's worth, Bun is written in Zig (https://bun.sh/). The language isn't exactly in an early stage.

Palantir came to me multiple times over the years asking me to interview as a senior swe. The temptation was very strong back then. Insane pay package as you can imagine... but I had a really bad feeling about them and always turned them down.

What a huge relief. One of my best moments of foresight.

Sure, they build innocent dashboards in the same way that your name is an innocent Dutch word. Obvious bad faith arguments coming from a troll.

Who I am:

USA Citizen recently moved to The Hague. A fullstack engineer with about 10 years of experience building, scaling, and leading web application projects from the ground up. I’ve worked across early-stage startups, client services, my own business, and open source. As both an engineering leader and individual contributor, I excel at pushing projects forward: scoping work with precision, communicating tradeoffs early and openly, and keeping teams aligned even in high-ambiguity environments. I’m known for elevating team effectiveness by introducing clear processes, thoughtful technical direction, and a strong culture of ownership. I lead with empathy, clarity, and a deep belief in enabling others to do their best work.

How I can serve you:

- Building and Launching anything, ASAP

- Architecture

- Leadership and advice

Open to short term or long term contracts. Rates are negotiable, generally ranging $150/hr to $200/hr depending on your individual needs. Let's find a custom solution that's mindful of your runway.

Thanks for sharing. Absolutely right; people need to feel useful and valued—not to mention, jobs can help us get out of the house and connect with people.

Just to be clear, are you saying the only life work that you can find fulfillment in is work that can be perfectly automated and handled by AI? Do you have an example of what you mean?

Runaway capitalism! Time for me to log off for another ~2 years

Elites unilaterally claiming and reaping the benefits of automation (i.e. consolidation of wealth) is not a law of nature.

You’re right and validating the point.

A specific part of GP’s comment keeps getting overlooked:

  So the problem isn't robots, it's the structure of how we humans rely on jobs for income.

Humans being forced to trade time for survival, money, and the enrichment of the elite, is a bug. We are socially conditioned to believe it’s a feature and the purpose.

Nobody is saying robots should replace human connection and expression

Edit: tone

Equating “business” to “profound human intimacy” might be one of the most HackerNews comments of all time

You’re getting a lot of negative feedback for whatever reason, but you’re absolutely right.

I for one remember reading about possible silicon/methane based life, etc. Actually, here’s a whole wikipedia article on what you’re talking about.

Perhaps HN folks will lose your scent now and direct their snark there

very excited about Actions. For several months I've been using a home server Gitea for a Unity project version control, because the project size is far too large for github/gitlab etc.

So far everything about it has been excellent, and it's only getting better!

Not to sound snide, genuinely curious how this is different from bribery?

You're mixing up terms and inferring "entertainment" when that's not what's being talked about. The operative word is "work" which is used in contrast to "play"

Not just shamed but also punished by law. This needs to be taken before a judge. They're violating the terms of their own agreement in the name of greed and trying to pass the blame on their own customers. What a gross business. I've never used them before and now know for certain that I never will.

Have you tried meditation? It sounds like something neutral is happening to you and you interpret it as being bad. If you meditate regularly it will change how you relate to it and many other things in positive transformative ways.
