Regarding the first example in the readme; where is the result variable declared?

pineapple_guy | 2 years ago | on: LinkedIn is laying off nearly 700 employees

That’s amazing. I’ve never heard such praise for LinkedIn unless it was a sponsored comment.

The user is the equivalent force of Mother Nature in software engineering. You just can’t predict what they will try next!

TIL Fedora is a new-broom distro. Whatever that means.

Possibly, but why assume that developers are passing on that increased productivity without expecting a relative pay increase?

And what if we are already the product of this process from a long forgotten empire?

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

And they are simply unable to reliably release Linux drivers

pineapple_guy | 2 years ago | on: Svelte 5 is going to be radical

If anything needs to be radically improved with svelte it’s bundle size and IDE tooling

It’s not a captcha

The junior level is often magnified due to lack of English proficiency.

$360 for eight people in San Francisco? I would be a sucker to believe that.

Always interesting to see a huge company with access to top talent release a site with key features such as: - a header that takes up a third of the screen on mobile - a hamburger menu that unintentionally navigates you to the top of the page upon opening and closing

Web devs mark this day of sadness

pineapple_guy | 2 years ago | on: Top suspect in 2015 Ashley Madison hack committed suicide in 2014

Is it just me or does that headline read as he was murdered by a highly skilled assassin who was hired by a high net-worth ‘victim’ of the hack.

pineapple_guy | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: Could you please brutally review my product website?

CTA is below the fold on mobile. Company name appears twice in large font on mobile. Hamburger menu animation time is too slow.

Yes, and sorry if it’s harsh. It just appears to be a generic blogging clone.

The page I land on needs to make it immediately clear why the site is useful. No explanations or hand waving.

Search with no results, login? And explore with four links.. all designed poorly. Not going to cut it.

On a side note, I must say that Mastadon having a side bar on mobile is a very poor design choice.
