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.

Note: I don't care if the issues listed can be fixed - it's still like selling a nonworking car then getting the users to go to the shady cyberpunk district to get the fixes. It's like selling a dangerous power adapter and then go, hey, you can get an expert to go in there and do some soldering to the bridge rectifier and bulk cap trace widths, fix up the spark gaps so it complies with the most basic of safety regulations, and it will work as well as the competitor's, so aren't they practically the same? "Duurp, well at least you CAAAN get inside and solder-" Hey, what if a power supply just worked and was well featured? After like 40 years of development. Ever thought about that?

Apparently it's infested with AI now - maybe PowerShell ISE is the closest thing to a reasonable text editor that comes with Windows nowadays, and that's only because it's a deprecated app they haven't removed yet

I feel like AI is the antithesis of notepad, conceptually.

edit: antithesis, not activities. Thanks, autocorrect, for rendering my comment nonsensical.

Microsoft deprecated powershell ISE in favor of vscode. No new versions of ISE will be released going forward.

Vscode/vscodium is a whole lot better to work powershell in, but it sure ain't a basic text editor. The days of first party basic text editing are gone on Windows.
