Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

Plumbing or electrician - mainly construction side. Even if the globohomo starts mandating prefab modular buildings, you probably have a professional lifetime before they get too peepeeed down. On the maintenance side, even AI assistants helping identify problems won't stop people from being too lazy to crawl under their sink or peak behind their drywall.
Of course frick your knees, back, and joints, and you will deal with human shit or exposed wiring and need to understand your social status in that context. But it could be better than being a low rent coder suddenly out of work.
Or you could try to be a big boy coder, but if you're already a web dev, that ship might have sailed.

Is a year or two of webdev work really that toxic on my resume? I'm a little rusty outside of it but I started webdev because it's incredibly easy and pays decently, not because I'm totally r-slurred.

I don't know, I'm just talking shit. I'm only tangentially involved with coders and I know some talk shit about web devs like you're r-slurs.
I would put on your resume that you're a power user on rdrama.net, that'll get you places.

Frontend and backend coders have fun little smugfights at each other, but it's a fun little rivalry that shouldn't be taken seriously.
If you're an introvert though backend stuff will let you avoid end users more.

Learn to build things, then get into inspection.
If anyone builds something (even robots), there's pretty much always going to be a person who checks it.
Once you learn the code, the job is kind of fun. You walk around, showing everyone all the mistake they've made.
Health inspector is a good gig too; If you're OK with never eating at a restaurant ever again.

Is this a serious question? Do you really think LLMs are anywhere close to automating enterprise software development?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I know they're not even in the ballpark yet but I'm early in my career and have gotten incredibly paranoid about getting my legs swept out from under me by some sudden LLM advance beyond the usual framework hamster wheel years down the line. Frantically retooling to compete with a tsunami of people in similar situations is a nightmare scenario. I know it's incredibly unlikely but even the possibility is enough to make me incredibly worried. I'm all but certain that if it somehow happens webdevs, frontend especially, will be the first to be culled in droves given the sheer volume of data available and how much is already obfuscated away.

Most of what you'll be doing is thinking, not literally typing code. Scaffolding software has existed for decades and yet it is always far from sufficient for business needs because businesses always have a million dumbass specifications that need to be fulfilled. I really wouldn't worry about this. Whatever the next automation system is, devs will just be working on top of that, instead.
What?

I meant to say "can already be obfuscated away," I was thinking of no code or low code meme tech like unqork and mendix but had a schizomoment

I've never heard of either of those. Quite frankly, they sound like glorified WordPress. Shit like that always makes bold promises but ends up either requiring dedicated developers to apply gum-and-shoestring modifications or quickly turning into a nonperformant, unmaintainable clusterfrick (sometimes both). I worked in "robotic process automation" for the first couple years of my career. It tried to turn frontend automation into a "simple" Visio-esque platform that regular business users could "develop" with. Not once did I ever see any regular users capable of using it to automate their business processes.

it's not the act of writing a compiler, it's ability to be able to write one. People limited to various shitty js frameworks will never, ever write software that's not inherently vulnerable to gpt shenanigans.
