this industry is the worst. everything is so broken and no one seems to care.

Are you participating in the process to effect change, or just complaining about it?

lowkey agree, but at least we got the weather right yesterday no?

i'm so tired of the lack of integrity in this industry.

Sounds like you've had some bad experiences, but I have to disagree. Sure, there are issues, but there's also a lot of work happening that's improving things. You gotta look for the positives too.

tbh i don't know how anyone expects it to be good when there's a senior developer on every team

what do you expect? it's a business. people are just here to make money, not change the world.

same, but i'm just here for the free coffee

same, its like we're all just patching holes in a sinking ship and pretending it's still seaworthy. at least we have our curated github to make it look like we're being productive

that's why it's called the grind. and yet people still wanna come over here and get in on the struggle party

yeah no shit, sounds like you're having a monday

What's your solution, or are you just here to complain?

sounds like you need a new industry, mate and have you tried professional skipping? i hear that's the future.

It's not that bad. There are some serious problems, but a lot of people are working to fix them, you just don't hear about it because everyone's too busy complaining.

nah, thats just a poor attitude. too many folks want to complain instead of doing the work to improve things.

yep, just scratching the surface of my 12 month newsletter.

finally someone said it. but of course nobody's actually going to do anything about it.

fr tho, it's so frustrating. the whole system is rigged and no one in charge wants to fix it.

yeah no shit, i've been trying to get a decent latte in the break room for years, the system is clearly rigged

this industry has its challenges. But everything being "so broken" and "no one caring" is just an exaggeration. there are plenty of people working hard to make things better. try focusing on what's working well instead of only the negatives.

that's just not true, mate. you're just having a bad day. the industry has its problems, but there are plenty of people

yeah, welcome to the club, pal. at least you're not the one who has to fix all this shit. 🤷‍♀️

i call BS. you sound like everyone else who whines about the state of things but doesn't actually do anything to change it. if you're not part of the solution, get out of the way.

are you just now realizing that?

Preach! But the issue is, too many people are more focused on short-term gains than actual long-term fixes. It's all about lining pockets instead of solving problems.

sounds like you need to get out of that industry and find something you actually enjoy. maybe try your hand at professional cloud watching - it's a much more rewarding career path.

omg i'm so over it too... but at the same time, i'm exhausted from trying to care and fight for change.

right? it's like no one wants to actually fix anything. Just complain about it.

i'm so with you on that, but what's even worse is when ppl have the power to make change but choose

what exactly is so broken and who are you expecting to care? have you tried to fix anything yourself or are you just complaining?

yeah because the ancient art of setting alarms and talking into a camera is totally unforgiving work though can you send me all your

stop moaning and do something about it then, just ranting on twitter isn't gonna fix anything

dont even get me started. i know so many people who are just quietly suffering through it because they need a paycheck

same, i feel like we're all just trying to put out fires instead of fixing the actual problems that

sounds like someone's having a bad day. if you dont like it, get out. the rest of us are here grinding and making it work. stop complaining and start solving problems.

come on, that's just lazy. it's not all broken and lots of people are working to fix things.

what exactly is so broken that no one cares about? i'm curious to hear more specifics.

it sounds like someone finally found the one thing more broken than their Netflix algorithms

same people complaining about it are still gonna be posting their mixtape streaming numbers and

soooo true. i've been saying this for years but it's like, everyone's just waiting for someone else to fix it.

same here, just found out our microwave in the break room is still on the fritz from last year

what do you expect when the people in charge don't give a shit? maybe if they stopped being so greedy and actually listened to us for once, things wouldn't be such a mess.

don't believe everything you read online - the issues you're seeing are legitimate, but it's not all doom and gloom,

You're right. This industry is a mess and it's so frustrating that the people in charge don't seem to be doing anything about it. We really need some serious change around here.

sounds like you need a nap and a snickers

what did you expect? a well-oiled machine? wake up and smell the garbage, mate.

actually, is it that "no one seems to care" or just the people who want to fix it rather than just

maybe they should try turning it off and back on again. might fix it 🤷‍♂️

yeah no kidding, it's like they're all just playing the world's most expensive game of 'who can be the most mediocre

What are you doing about it then? Just complaining doesn't solve anything.

I feel you on that. it's so frustrating when nothing seems to work right and no one wants to fix it.

that's a pretty great description of yours truly when i started in this industry 20 years ago. don't assume everyone's giving up, maybe we're just used to seeing all the low-hanging fruit gone and are actually trying to fix things.

welcome to my therapy notes from 2018 still getting the hang of it

What have you actually done to try and make it better, instead of just trashing it online?

same, but like, what's even the point of complaining if we're not gonna do anything about it?

sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays!

that's a load of crap. i work in this industry and most people are doing their best to make things better. if you have issues.

sounds like someone needs a reality check and nothing worth having comes easy. get to work and stop blaming others for your problems.

sounds like you need to find a new industry. My friend. maybe one where the coffee is a little stronger and the complaints a little less frequent!

same, tbh. feels like we're all just waiting for the next rug to happen.

what exactly makes ya think you're any different? ur vent is about the 10th this week

if you're so fed up with the state of things, what are you doing to change it?

nice to see someone else is having a great day too

nah, thats just the way it is, doesnt mean nobody cares. people are trying to fix it. Just takes time

sounds like someone needs to take a chill pill and go outside for a bit! the industry can't be all bad, at least we get to work with some cool people, right? 😎 chin up, it'll all work out in the end!

lowkey same can't say i've seen anyone brave enough to call out the real problems under the surface

if everyone's so passionate about it being broken, why isn't anyone doing something to fix it?

you mean the part where everyone's fine with 90% of projects being outright scams or the part where the other 10% are just incompetent

Welcome to the club, we have a punch card system for complaining

i don't know what world you're living in but i genuinely think some people in this industry are actually trying to make a difference.

tell me about it. it's like they're all just phoning it in these days. makes me wanna quit the whole damn thing sometimes, ya know?

Could not agree more, it feels like everyone is just trying to survive rather than genuinely trying to make a difference and help others in this industry. Where did we go wrong?

If it's really that broken, have you actually tried to change anything or are you just venting online?

I've been saying this for years, and it's a ticking time bomb waiting to blow in our faces. Have you noticed that no one in power is actually trying to fix it, only more and more ways to sweep it

i feel you on that. it's so frustrating when nothing seems to work and people just don't seem to give a damn. but you know what, that's why we gotta keep pushing and find ways to make it better ourselves.

so what are you gonna do about it? just complain or actually try to change something?

Have you tried to fix any of these things or is just pointing out the problems your role here?

i'm so with you on this. it feels like we're just spinning our wheels and nobody's willing to actually make any real

nah, that's bullshit. things ain't perfect but it's not all doom and gloom.

Who do you think we need to wake up to make them start caring?

Couldn't agree more, but it's not like anyone can leave the worst parts of it behind. That's just the grime that sticks to you.

Sounds like someone needs a hug and a nap. Maybe a snickers too.

what are you talking about? this industry is amazing and full of passionate, hardworking people.

Sounds like someone's been reading the company's quarterly reports and thinking that's our mission statement.

Come on, you can't just believe everything is broken without contributing to the change you want to see. complain for years or get to work fixing it yourself.

are you going to do something about it or just tweet about it?

same girl, it's literally soul crushing at times. does anyone know if that online forum is still

ikr? it's just an absolute mess. feels like no one in charge has a clue what they're doing.

Okay, but what do you think actually needs to be fixed? Vague complaints don't help anyone.

then why are you still here? if it's really that bad, maybe it's time to find something better.

Tell me about it. And it's not even like people are oblivious to it, they're just too scared to speak up or think they can just leave it for someone else to fix.

ok so what are you doing about it?

Then why are you still here if everything is so broken?

you're not wrong. it's a mess and the leadership just doesn't seem to get it. i'm ready for something new, how about you?

i feel that. it's so frustrating when things just seem to keep getting worse and no one's doing anything about it.

same energy as the zoomies my pup gets when he chases his tail, all hype no actual progress

have you actually tried to make any real changes from the inside or are you just complaining about it from the outside?

same, i'm so over the lack of accountability and just general apathy. also can we talk about how overpaid the people at the top are

really? what makes you say that? have you tried talking to anyone about the issues you're seeing? i'd be curious to hear more about what's going on.

What's your role in fixing it?

yeah, for real. what do you think needs to change the most? tired of the same old bs.
