There’s no point in looking into the logic or consistency of Donald’s words.

Just record his actions. Persecute him to the fullest extent of the law. Ignore everything he says.

He’s a broken person, the dictionary definition of a bully, and whose modus operandi is to inflict as much pain on his enemies as possible.


I’m dealing with similar issues.

It’s reasonable to come up with team rules like:

- “if the reviewer finds more than 5 issues the PR shall be rejected immediately for the submitter to rework”

- “if the reviewer needs to take more than 8 hours to thoroughly review the PR it must be rejected and sent back to split up into manageable change sets”

Etc etc. let’s not make externalizing work for others appropriate behavior.


Eight hours to review! Girlie how big are these PRs?

I can’t imagine saying, “ah, only six hours of heads down time to review this. That’s reasonable.”

A combination of peer reviewed architecture documentation and incremental PRs should prevent anything taking nearly 8 hours of review.


Agreed, if it takes 8 hours to review a PR, then the process is broken and you need to start talking before anyone starts writing code. I'd put the max window on maybe 30 minutes for a PR, otherwise we're doing something else, not a "last pass before merge into production".

Proposal to not tarnish the good name of actual engineers: slopgineers.

Maybe LLemgineers? Slopgrammers?


Welcome to HN, thanks for sharing. That’s a very sad story, I hope you aren’t traumatized still.

A reasonable framework does exist. Since the claim is “we made a web browser from scratch” the framework is:

1. Does it actually f*** work?

2. Is it actually from scratch?

It fails on both counts. Further, even when compiled successfully, as others have pointed out, it takes more than a minute to load some pages which is a fail for #1.


If it loads pages, then it clearly works. Nobody claims it's a practical, competitive browser.

“I built a car from scratch”

“Nobody said it has brakes.”

Taken at face value, everyone assumes when you say statement #1 that you are not speaking like a lawyer.


I’m happy that this shows that hard work, understanding your codebase, having performant software, having actually working software, rigorously measuring and proving proof of results still matters.

There’s a huge difference between using LLMs to offload any hard work and for LLMs to be of some assistance while you are in control and take ownership of the output.

Unfortunately, the general public probably didn’t try a git clone and cargo build, and took the article at face value.


“Lying is just the reality of the world” is a cop-out

Don’t give them, or anyone, a free pass for bad behavior.


The reality of the world is that nobody needs a pass from you.

I wish.

In reality, a large enough group of people on the internet starts to turn sour. Especially with anonymity. Especially without a specific purpose like a book club. Especially without moderation.

Small groups where you know everyone is where it’s at. To avoid internet stalkers and bullies, and for general quality of the community。

Our brains are built for small communities, not billions.



I really wish there was more transparency. We can’t see flagged posts without a direct link.

How about a flagged section?

What about a feature to challenge the flag?

What about a justification for the flag? Do flagged posts need to be approved by a mod?

I love HN. Flagged posts are the worst part. I can’t tell if the community is being taken over by a subset of bad actors, or YC is asserting opaque editorial control. Feels bad.

Thank you!

The purpose of a system is what it does. If the end result is the same, is there a difference?


It goes back before Donald was in charge of the Trump real estate business. It started with a really really shitty father who desired a “killer” business instinct in his children (read: cruelty) above all else.

Reading some of Mary Trump’s books will give some insight on the family that Donald grew up in. No love, all cruelty.

Donald is just a rich kid who inherited a big business and learned nothing but cruelty from his daddy.


I disagree, he’s more than that. Lots of people having shitty abusive parents, even lots of wealthy people. There’s something wrong with his brain.
