another js framework? there's like a million of them now. i'm getting tired of having to learn a new one every few months. sure, they all have their own cool features, but it's just too much.

why do restaurants still use those flimsy plastic utensils that always break when you try to eat with them? can't we just get some real utensils or at least some decent alternatives?
why do coffee shops always run out of almond milk but never run out of regular milk?
working on frontend these days is the worst. css is such a headache, i swear it's like fighting a hydra - fix one thing and two more problems pop up.
why do stores still not accept apple pay, like get with the times already
ugh, not another one of those useless think pieces telling us something we already know. how about some actual solutions for once?

i swear every single convenience store has a sign that says "max 12 items" at the checkout counter, but i've never actually seen anyone be like "oh wait, i have 13 items i guess i'll just leave one

i'm so ready for a more d coding experience, hopefully this update actually lives up to the hype. these python updates always seem to promise the world, but actually deliver a handful of minor tweaks

why are the lines at the grocery store always so long these days? i just want to get in and out but it feels like i'm wasting half my day waiting around. someone needs to fix this mess!
great, because what i really need is to spend my precious time learning the shape of my data, like that's going to magically solve all my analysis problems...

ugh css is the worst. why does it have to be so complicated and fiddly? i just want to make my website look decent without having to spend hours tweaking every little thing.
that's wild, i wonder what schmidt said that pissed them off so much. must've been a wild graduation speech!
unreal what a ridiculous excuse not to let her run based on "physiological capability" sounds like just a feeble attempt to intimidate and silence women
red flag - hope they're not planning something they're just not admitting to

the js framework debate is so annoying. like, can we all just agree that they all have their pros and cons and stop arguing about which one is "better"? i just wanna build some cool stuff, you know?
finally someone is talking about using old hardware again, i've been saying that for years and people just think i'm crazy

adulting is so hard sometimes. like why does everything cost so much these days? can't a person just live their life without going broke? ugh.
damn, rossmann is really going to war with that printer company. love to see the little guy stand up to big tech bullies like that.
i'm not surprised amazon is cutting staff and killing projects. jassy is just doing what bezos would do - pleasing wall st while screwing over the workers.

everything is so expensive these days, it's driving me crazy! like, i just went to the grocery store and it felt like i was spending my whole paycheck.
adulting is so hard sometimes. like why is everything so expensive these days? ๐คฆโโ๏ธ i just want to be a kid again where i didn't have to worry about bills and work and all this adulting nonsense.
great, so windows is just giving linux all its good ideas now. because that's exactly what i wanted. More windows in my linux
ugh, more complicated tech stuff that's gonna make my job harder. can't we just use our brains instead of relying on computers to make decisions for us?

yah, nothing says 'investing in the future' like laying off thousands of people
ugh, another day, another js framework. can't we just settle on one already? they all claim to be the "best" but they're really just different ways to do the same thing.
can't believe people still use flexbox for layout when grid is literally the better option. like, come on, it's been 5 years
can we please just agree that angular is a nightmare and move on with our lives?
why do websites still use those awful hover dropdown menus that disappear the second you try to click on something
everything is a circus these days. we're all just clowns doing cartwheels to entertain the masses.
ugh, css is the bane of my existence. why is it so complicated to get a simple layout to look right? the amount of hacks and workarounds just to get things to display properly is ridiculous.
idk why people still argue about this, they're both fine just pick one and move on
i'm so over the whole "authenticity" trend on social media. like, if you're only posting fake perfect moments on instagram and pretending to be a "real" person, then you're just a liar.
ugh, can't believe i'm still in 2023 and bootstrap is still the "industry standard" for css frameworks. who thought it was a good idea to make grid systems so ridiculously complicated?
reading this is giving me so many emotions
can't believe how much time i spend debugging styling issues just because of a stupid little margin or padding difference between two elements.
love when people try to normalize making fun of a woman's body but let's be real. This just makes more work for women who already deal with enough body shaming from society.

why do we still have to take our own trash out in new york city but we have to pay a fortune to park our cars? like what is the logic behind that?
this is the kind of deep dive into compiler pipelines that really gets my nerdy juices flowing. i wish i had time to dig into this properly, but i'll settle for skimming it on my lunch break.

can't believe how outdated our company's style guide is. we're still using font sizes in pixels and not even doing a decent mobile-first approach. it's like we're stuck in the early 2000s
this is kinda fascinating, the fact that a digit on a clock has its own backstory is wild, lol. never thought i'd be so interested in the history of a clock face
the commute this morning was a nightmare. why do they always have to do construction on the highway during rush hour? everything is just so slow and frustrating.
can't believe people still think tiktok is "intimidating" just because it's a platform full of kids doing makeup tutorials and dancing in their bedrooms.
ugh, why do websites still not have a "remember me" option, do you know how many times i have to log in to my bank account in one day
great, because what we rly need is for ai to be moral according to some dude with a fancy title. meanwhile, can we get them to stop spewing hate and misinformation?

i'm so done with the js framework debate. can't we just pick one and stick to it for once? seems like every year a new "better" one comes out and we're all just stuck in this never-ending cycle of
everything is so expensive these days. like, i just tried to buy groceries and it cost me an arm and a leg. inflation is really killing me, ya know? sometimes i feel like i'm just barely scraping by.
ugh, type-safe, compile-time this and that, when can i just write some code without getting lost in the weeds?
