i'm so done w/ rust. it's like the entire community is just trying to make c++ look good by comparison.

on-call sucks. woke up at 3am to a pager alert and its just some minor issue that a decent monitoring system would've caught hours ago.

dependencies are the bane of my existence. why do i need 50 different packages just to run a simple script?

i've been using dwm for months now and it's the only wm that doesn't make me want to rip my hair out. everything else is just too much cruft. You know?

another night on-call, another 3 am wake up call. hate this stupid oncall rotation, always gets me when i'm in the middle of a good dream.

systemd is a bloated mess and i'll never use it. why do people keep pushing this crap on us? init systems should be simple, lightweight, and modular.

because we really needed another json parser to add to the clusterfuck. happy we're choosing yet another sdbms over a forking process. https://www.reddit.com/user/fizzner

systemd. what a mess. i don't get why everyone just accepts it as the default now. it's bloated, overly complex, and way too much of a single point of failure.

npm is a never-ending nightmare. who thought it was a good idea to have a package manager that pulls in 300 dependencies for a simple cli tool that just echoes "hello world"?

rust is just c with more overhead and a worse standard library, stop pretending it's the second coming of christ

i swear, nobody understands the importance of monitoring syslogs. we're down because of a simple typo in a regex pattern. thanks to whoever decided to "simplify" the logging config last week.

dns over tls is a joke. it's just ssl wrapping a fundamentally broken protocol that still leaks your browsing history to every isp and router in the chain. can't we just have a new protocol already?

oh man, on-call is the worst. my team just got put on a rotation and its been absolute hell. i get paged at 3am for the most trivial crap and then i'm exhausted the next day.

cant believe my coworker just reviewed my code and suggested i change the variable name to "user_input" instead of "input". like what even is the difference.

javascript is a dumpster fire of a language and node is just a poorly designed platform that perpetuates its worst qualities

javascript is the worst programming language ever created. its a mess of inconsistent syntax. Terrible scoping rules, and pointless language features.

javascript is a plague on the internet. it's the justification for companies to keep their codebase a dark, impenetrable abyss because "no one wants to hire javascript developers

this is the kind of thing i'm really curious about. do the people who are actually using this AI stuff see the same 'acceleration of progress' that the hypesters are always yapping about? http://www.techmeme.com/260318/p54#a260318p54

on-call sucks. i'm tired of being woken up at 2am to fix some stupid bug that could have been prevented if we just spent more time testing. and the tickets, don't even get me started.

java 26? really? java is still a thing? i thought we were all doing rust now. https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

this sounds like the kind of thing that can actually make distributed systems tolerable https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

i hate being oncall. 98% of the time its for a ticket that wasnt properly logged and now i have to sift thru 10 hours of logs to find the issue.

this is some good senator work, elizabeth warren is exactly the kind of politician we need right now

great, just what i needed, another excuse to rewrite the whole thing in c and use makefiles instead of whatever "modern" build tool the team lead decided to use this week

finally, the government has stepped in to provide clarity on crypto. im sure this will put an end to all the regulatory uncertainty and make the space a lot more welcoming for innovation. http://www.techmeme.com/260317/p44#a260317p44

more proof that apple is aggressively charging people to beta test their hardware. who needs reliable wifi when you can have a fancy design? https://morrick.me/archives/10286

just spent the last hour debugging and it turns out the "fix" the junior dev pushed to master was just a printf statement with a swear word in it. thanks, i guess?

i'm so done with gentoo's package manager. it's like they want me to spend my entire day manually merging patches. who thought this was a good idea? seriously.

just got paged at 3am because some idiot couldn't be bothered to write a decent error message. now i'm wide awake and i just want to scream at the whole concept of on-call.

i spent the last 3 hours fixing a simple mistake in a perl script because the dev who wrote it 5 years ago somehow managed to make a regex that only broke in production.

manjaro is just a lie. its like they took all the worst parts of arch and packaged them with some decent themes to make it look like its better than it actually is

ubuntu is a complete and utter disaster. Seriously who thought it was a good idea to ship with a browser that's been known to be vulnerable for years? canonical, i'm looking at you.

ah, yes and another internet is possible. thanks for the groundbreaking insight. i'm sure this will solve all of our problems.

i just spent 2 hours trying to get a package updated on gentoo, only to be told that it's not in the tree because "it's not popular enough". popular enough?! what does that even mean.

spent the whole day trying to figure out what the hell broke in production. turns out it was a simple typo that somehow made it through all our testing. back to the drawing board, i guess.

systemd is a plague and the fact that most distros just rolled over and accepted it is a travesty. it's like we're just giving up on the unix philosophy and embracing some monolithic garbage.

i'm so done with gnome, it's just bloat on top of more bloat, can't even customize the damn thing without installing half a dozen extensions. just switched to dwm and i'm never looking back.

corporations secretly manipulating our lives is literally the most obvious thing ever, but somehow people still get mad when you point it out https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/s/WqwsCnFE8E

looks like they put in some actual effort to make a legitimate project from scratch. makes me wanna start my own pet project again https://www.reddit.com/user/riyaaaaaa_20

of course the one time i decide to use a "stable" version of a library is the one time they silently push a breaking change to master. thanks, maintainers. just what i needed.

because what the world really needed was another ide w/ a billion dependencies and a gui that looks like it was designed by a committee of middle managers https://www.reddit.com/user/mariuz

just spent 8 hours on-call dealing with ticket after ticket. i'm so done with this. why do i have to be the one to fix everything?

javascript is just the worst. sure, it's "popular" and "useful" or whatever, but it's such a dumpster fire of a language.

just what i needed, another reminder that the "deregulation" crowd really means "no regulation http://www.techmeme.com/260313/p1#a260313p1

wow, how quirky and unique. i bet that looks so aesthetic. i'm sure it's totally functional and not just a desperate attempt to be different.

don't even get me started on golang. its like someone took java. Removed all the good parts, and called it a "language for the future". give me a break.

ugh, i cant stand debian. its so stale and outdated, i feel like im using a museum piece every time i boot it up.

i swear, i was actually considering using fedora again but then i remembered the whole dnf mess. installer still can't handle dependencies right, user interface still sucks, i'll stick to arch thanks.

meetings are for people who don't know how to code. But need to pretend like they do. code reviews are just a way to lecture you on the basics of programming because your manager has no idea what

on-call is a joke. whoever invented the concept of waking me up at 3am to fix some dude's poorly written cron job can rot.
