One of the testimonies mentions a 4 year old cooking dinner (pancakes, eggs and sausages).

That takes an unbelievable a level of dexterity for a 4 year old. Reminds me of those social media posts of 4 year olds saying things that are way beyond the wisdom they may possess.

I call BS.

62-65% of all bankruptcies in the US are tied to medical expenses.

Your comment is a textbook example of survivorship bias.

Sensible Soccer is so true to the original. It's even impossible to quit it!

You may have thought this is an objective observation.

For anyone over the age of 16 this comment is a loud expression of your political views.

Also, I find Reddit to be super funny. Just yesterday someone posted a photo of their brain MRI showing a tumor the size of a tennis ball and everyone, including the OP were having a great time.

I'm curious as to what you think those political views are, because I strongly agree with what sidcool wrote (even if they didn't mean it the way I interpreted it) and I disagree with you.

I think that Reddit "is a biased cesspool of partisanship", but very much in both directions. Many subreddits are so wholly hard right or hard left that I think they're almost caricatures of themselves. And even for subreddits without a hard political bent, they are often the very definition of an echo chamber - they are great places to go where you want everyone to agree with you and you can see people who disagree with you get downvoted to oblivion. And, importantly, this is literally by design based on how subreddits are created and moderated.

I have rarely (not never, but rarely) made a comment that took a somewhat nuanced opinion where I wasn't heavily downvoted. And, contrarily, I have made similar comments on HN where, if I wasn't particularly upvoted, I received what felt like fair dialogue and back-and-forth with other commenters.

All that said, I still use Reddit frequently and find it frequently interesting, sometimes informative, and often pretty hilarious.

You really don’t know adherents of which political stance are constantly complaining about “lack of a sense of humor”? Or who has been complaining about the “tech bias”? I am glad if you were somehow not exposed. I don’t find it partisan. I come across a lot of criticism of Democrats. And the current administration. Also, if you’re claiming subreddits are partisan in the way mods want it to be, we can’t conclude Reddit as a whole is partisan, can we?

The sibling comment offers a more concise explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46329213

Came to comments only to mention/upvote this and add engagement so everyone knows about the GOAT that Tom7 is.

They were not, and they did not.

Those human tests are why your browser properly renders diversely messy HTML.

Oh, I misunderstood the previous submission, then.

If someone opened a PR, and it obviously doesn’t work but they claim they tested it, maybe that’s ok for the first time.

The second time it happens they gotta go.

I would find the expectation that I need to attach a screenshot insulting. And the understanding that my peers test their code to produce a screenshot would be pretty demoralizing.

Didn’t know your code could satisfy requirements without working. /s

My priorities are as follows: 1) code works 2) code satisfies requirements

Not sure how anyone can prove their code satisfies requirements when it doesn’t run.

How often do you buy stuff that doesn't work, and you are OK with the provider telling you "we had a reasonable belief that it worked"?

How are we supposed to use software in healthcare, defense, transportation if that's the bar?

There's a lot of functionality in the frontend that I am building that I did not review. If it worked in testing, that's good enough.

You're free to review every line the model produces. Not every project is in healthcare or defense, and sometimes different standards apply.

I’m assuming you work in a setting where there is a QA team?

I haven’t been in such a setting in 2008 so you can ignore everything I said.

But I wouldn’t want to be somewhere where people don’t test their code, and I have to write code that doesn’t break the code that was never tested until the QA cycle?

No, in my day job I obsess over every line I add, although there is QA.

In my side project I'm building a frontend that, according to me, is the best looking and most feature rich option out there.

I find that I'm making great progress with it, even when I don't know every line in the project. I understand the architecture and roughly where what functionality is located, and that is good enough for me.

If in testing I see issues with some functionality, I can first ask the model to summarize the implementation. I can then come up with a better approach and have the model make the change. Or alternatively I edit some values myself. So far it wasn't often that I felt the need to write more than a few lines of code manually.

I don't test my code because I think it's my duty. I test it because my personal motivation is to see it working! What's the point of writing code if I don't even get to see it run?!

If someone's not even interested and excited to see their code work, they are in the wrong profession.
