Nope. The need to monotize and the fact that an acquihire cost some money is exactly why relying on a specific runtime is where people should have concern.

My parent "airports" are Bellingham and SeaTac. I hate SeaTac with all my soul. Next admission - primary carrier is Alaska. They are mediocre to ok. Cabin crew, always friendly. I've had random flight cancellations - some seatac/bellingham, others randomly before/after homeland security budget BS. In all cases, they rebooked on something ridiculous (a day or two later, hours that made no sense) and their call hold times (or call backs) are hours. Sadly, I'm in a captive market and am very proactive when day of travel is around.

Look at prices (which are much higher than when I booked my trip later this summer), United prices are insane compared to others. Their prices were 4x what I paid for on SAS. I've long had a united club card, but likely circulating that out in the next year. Their prices for service/availability isn't worth whatever crack smoking is going into their pricing.

You state an opinion, but not why for that opinion. I’m mostly stuck with Alaska or a small handful being a couple hours north of Seattle and driving to/dealing with SeaTac is not fun. In the caliber you said you wouldn’t travel includes aliegent.

I’ve not flown them and stick to Alaska and the local puddle jumpers to get off the island.

Grew up with this guy. We both did community college courses on programming before we were out out high school. I'm impressed with the library he's built up and CCs tend to be more pragmatic than UCs in California.

This isn't a plug/whatever - just good content from an old friend.

I ordered the hard copy, but for those with Kindle Unlimited....it's available there.

KU is for escape not text for me, so I'll wait for the book.

Hardback showed up today. Reading a bit.

I'm waiting on my physical copy, but, yes the writing style from a native German can be odd at times (the ex was german).

The poster is trying to get karma being "contrairian".

VV pubished the site a couple weeks back on L*nkedin. It was a distraction for me as well.

I'll look into this a bit. But...

"Github has way too little projects"... I had PRs against stinkpad wireless drivers in 1999/2000 time frame - FreeBSD specific. Do I expect those to be around? No.

Do I think 20+ years of working for commercial companies means I have a splendid GH resume - absolutely not.

Using your logic for HN, 140 karma, ignore.

VV has been in the community awhile (I'm not active, but watch). AI slop isn't a thing, trolling for top of HN is.

“The community” - which community? Where? This is a brand new website, there’s next to no online presence for the name (all seemingly unrelated).

It reads like using LLMs to fake some credibility

I stopped using it because the interface was wretched and it didn't need to be cutesy. Rsync found it's way back into the tool belt.
