What's flex-worthy about this? There's a lot of dev work that goes on in economy class airplane seats. Or are VC valley programmers so rich they fly business everywhere?

It's uncomfortable and awkward (the Wii was on his leg in the first shot), and often you need to break concentration and pack things up to let someone out of or into their seat.

So what you're saying is if it's flexing, it's entirely performative. gotcha.

I don't think that's a healthy way to look at it - dude was just getting some work done, but maybe I'm a broken human being who's churned out more code than I would ever admit while sitting in 32C on a cross-country flight.


Having to own anything beyond the money to buy something to buy something, is, in fact, unreasonable.

As one of the last 1% of population with fiber, your take on population stats in the US is wildly off.

Because America built the backbone for our connected systems 50+ years ago, and also because the US of A is 238 times larger than Switzerland.

I remember 4 dollar gas in 2011.... So that was nearly 6 dollars in modern money.

It's the new performative "acknowledgment."

A shame because the rest of this is quite technically interesting.


NEC/Sharp commercial displays are great. Even come with a daughter board you can throw a Raspberry Pi onto to run your own OS.

Terrible default behavior is a great reason to abandon a software package.


To be furiously pedantic: I can walk into my local GM dealer down the road and buy a 2027 Bolt for 29000~ right now.


It does, but it's also a takedown of a YC-backed company.

Really great vetting there, guys.


LOL -For a good minute the comments were not visible. Someone is playing RR.


We were in the process of merging the threads. Actually tomhow had correctly merged them, but I misinterpreted which submission had been first and undid that. Then corrected my mistake.

Had you checked the other thread during that "good minute", you'd have seen that all the comments were intact.
