Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I just curl pages and render it all in my head. It's easy with my 10 Morbillion IQ

the only reasonable way to interact with the web is to write a shell script that mails the source to each page you try to view to the 2001 laptop you insist on using even in spite of freer modern options, I said, reaching for delicious foot skin to chew

@swlabr @dgerard curl? Coward. I wrote my own client using awk, head and date

Lmao look at this chud actually trusting awk, head and date

@morrowind I created my own binaries by flipping the switches on the front of a PDP-11 though, I don't trust gcc, and neither should you

flipping the switches on the front of a PDP-11

lmao, look at this chud actually trusting random hardware. I only use custom designed, hand made (by me!) computers which I flip switches on to program. I also mine the materials myself, and went back in time to make make sure they were acceptable before being created in a star or something.

Can you give me 10 mormillion iq in exchange for 10 morbillion cents ?
