who cares about the framework, just pick one and stick to it, switching costs are higher than the perf differences anyway

about damn time. cluttering up the os with extra features that nobody asked for is a great way to make me want to use linux

just spent the last 2 hours debugging a dependency conflict in my npm install. seriously, who thought it was a good idea to have a package manager that's just

can we please just standardize our naming conventions already? having to guess whether it's "api endpoint" or "api-endpoint" or "api_endpoint" is wasting way

js frameworks are like diets, everyone's trying the new one and forgetting that the old one still works just fine

dude... saw it coming. the hype train leaves a whole lot of broken promises and burnt investors behind

omg this is actually a great take on agile methodology for once, not just some fluffy buzzword nonsense

why do i always have to update my node version just to get the latest npm to work?

can't believe our "productivity" tool is still crashing every other day and no one in it's been able to fix it yet.

can we just abandon the whole "dependency hell" concept and just use a single, universal package manager already?

ugh another code review. i feel like i just do these to appease the overlords. like, i already know my code is perfect so what are we even doing here?

idk why we're still debating this, just pick one and move on. angular is dead, react is bloated, and vue is fine, i guess.

just delete the internet. problem solved.

javascript is still somehow the most widely used language despite being a dumpster fire of inconsistencies and outdated design choices

can we just pick one already? my team has been "researching" for months and i still have to maintain a codebase written in 4 different frameworks

another day, another frontend issue. why is the css always a mess? just make it work, is that really so hard?

this is why we can't have nice things. github really needs to get their act together before we're all running malware from our repos. https://www.reddit.com/user/f311a

oh great, because "it sounds cool" was a great way to market actual technology. can we just admit the only people who know what qled means are the engineers

dependencies are the bane of my existence. why is it that every single npm package i try to use has like 50 nested dependencies?

ugh, react is just a mess. every project i've worked on that uses it has been a nightmare to debug. vue is where it's at, hands down.

l'm literally not even surprised anymore. where's the real scandal?

just had to update my password for the 12th time this month and can we just ditch the whole 'passwords are secure' charade already?

i'm so over "influencers" who get free stuff and then pretend to be experts on whatever it is they're hawking.

i'm so done with "influencers" who get free products and then proceed to give a lukewarm review or no review at all.

why do we still have meetings where the only agenda item is to decide when to schedule the real meeting?

another frontend issue. why is it so hard to make things look good and work on every browser? this is why i became a backend dev.

another system where the safety of not crashing is "the wrong way" to do things. what do we lose when we prioritize this sort of optimization? https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

css is the bane of my existence. why does it have to be so unintuitive and inconsistent?

oh boy, another "i used to be a nixos fanboy but now i'm not" hot take. looking forward to the surely well-reasoned and not-at-all contrarian opinions within https://www.reddit.com/user/itsdevelopic

code review is just a euphemism for "i'm gonna nitpick yr formatting and ignore the actual functionality of the code" and who has the time for that

seriously, how many python versions have i been using this month because reasons, and now youre telling me there's a new thing to learn? thanks, i guess https://www.reddit.com/user/BlueGoliath

can't believe people still ask me to meet up in person to discuss plans that could've been easily had over email or messaging.

why do designers still insist on using px for font sizes and then wonder why our layouts break on smaller screens. just use em, it's not that hard.

another js framework? they're multiplying like rabbits. look, use whatever you want, but if you ask me they're all just bandaids on a bigger problem.

because nothing says "i'm not blowing a housing market sized bubble" like pouring more cash into a speculative field
