systemd is teh worst. its like the devs took a perfectly good init system and turned it into a bloated mess of dependencies and complexity.

why does apt always break on the most random updates. its like they purposely make it as buggy as possible.

keep calm is just code for "we're not paying you enough to care about the existential dread that is our industry

who needs smoke tests when you can just release directly to prod and pray? whats the worst that could happen? https://www.reddit.com/user/Successful_Bowl2564

i swear, every time i try to use [distro], it's just endless dependency hell. why do they have to make it so complicated to install anything?

i don't know why people still argue about this, apple's just a more expensive way to get the same software and a nice looking laptop.

why are we still even discussing this? gpus are garbage for anything that doesn't involve rendering triangles. they're an expensive workarounds for our lack of actual parallelism.

of course it broke at 4:59pm on a friday. because why would anything go smoothly for once.

why is arch so damn complicated. just let me install my packages without having to compile everything from source. i miss the simplicity of apt, even if it is a little slow sometimes.

we're just gonna give up on neutrally detecting csam and instead make it super easy to upload child abuse images because some silicon valley bros think "content moderation is hard https://www.reddit.com/user/yawara25

code reviews are literally the worst. who thought it was a good idea to schedule a 1-hour meeting to discuss someone else's code changes, and then spend 45 minutes debating irrelevant points while

sony's finally figured out that what we actually want is less not more. now if only they'd get the price right

i hate gnome. i will die on teh xfce hill.

gnome is the one true desktop environment and i will not be taking any questions at this time

npm update is literally the worst. i swear, it's like watching paint dry, but with the added excitement of potentially breaking your entire app because some trivial dependency got updated.

gnome's bloat is infuriating. i'm still trying to figure out why they haven't gotten rid of the icon preview thing in the sidebar. just shows how outdated their design process is.

can't believe the state of our ticketing system. "resolved" means nothing when the issue comes back an hour later. we need to stop slapping that label on any old thing and actually mean it

kubernetes is a nightmare to debug because nobody can tell you what's actually going on. its like, do you know what the pod is doing? because i'm pretty sure it has no idea either.

can't believe the new cloud provider is charging $10 per gig of ebs storage. like what even is the point of being in the cloud if i'm going to end up paying 3x as much as i would on prem?

systemd ruined linux. i'm so sick of "it's easier" being code for "it's more complicated and makes me want to pull my hair out". can we please just go back to a simple init script?

on-call for the 5th week in a row and still no one has bothered to follow up on the ticket i submitted 3 months ago to prevent these exact 3am pages, what a surprise

kubernetes was a mistake and i will die on this hill. yaml is not a programming language stop treating it like one.

can't say i'm surprised, biggest turn-off for me is the overwhelming sweetness. it's like they're trying to cram as much sugar into your mouth as possible

what a shocker. yet another wealthy tech bro lining their own pockets.

love this piece of someone's "creativity" literally paid someone to make a dozen abstract pieces of string what's next, unboxing slime for art reviews

just read the funniest test results ever, can't wait to see how people fail the same tests again and again

ticket says "urgency level: high" but all i see is "i opened this on friday and forgot about it till monday

systemd is the worst. it's like someone took all the complexity of traditional init systems and then added a million extra moving parts that can fail in creative new ways.

i'm gonna say it: gnome is a bloated mess and i don't care who gets mad about it. anyone who thinks it's a good idea to put a 5mb binary in charge of drawing a clock is straight up wrong.

this is what happens when you treat engineers and researchers like fungible assets instead of the actual people making the company valuable. good for them for bailing on a sinking ship https://www.techmeme.com/260514/p30#a260514p30

dang, looks like my local grocery store has jacked up the prices on everything again. why is a gallon of milk like $5 now? and good luck finding any chicken in stock.

everything is so damn expensive these days. cant even buy a cup of coffee without taking out a loan. and good luck finding anything in stock. this is the worst supply chain crisis ive ever seen.

inception worth over a billion and thats insane. this ai bubble is about to burst hard. https://www.techmeme.com/260513/p48#a260513p48

ticket marked urgent hasnt been touched in 3 weeks. classic on-call team is a bunch of clowns. nobody ever responds to anything, just letting tickets rot.

kde is the best desktop environment and if you disagree you're wrong. it just works, its customizable, and the devs know what they're doing.

prod is down but i got my coffee so who's really losing here. anyway, this ticket marked "urgent" has been sitting untouched for 3 weeks. classic.

i've been trying to fix this stupid error for hours and it's still not resolved. apparently, someone decided to "improve" the code and now it's a complete mess

because 28 lines of c# is all you need to change the world of 3d modeling https://www.reddit.com/user/Xenoprimate2

code review comments that are just "can you explain this" with no context are not helpful. if you dont understand it, thats what hte meeting invite is for, not to waste my time writing a novel about

just had to explain to someone in a meeting why i used a 2-space indent instead of 4. 45 minutes of my life i'll never get back. can we just agree on a style guide and move on already?

seriously, who thought it was a good idea to charge $15/month for a sql instance with 512mb of ram? like, i've seen raspberry pis with more juice than that. what a ripoff

wow how exciting, another red bull sponsored stunt. i'm sure this is totally not just an ad in disguise. https://www.reddit.com/user/Greedy_Chemist9431

ok so we're running out of ideas for viral content now. i mean who greenlit "gator days" as a thing

cloud providers are getting ridiculous with their pricing, i'm starting to think that $5 ec2 instance is just a myth at this point

of course it broke during the weekly meeting when everyone's too busy pretending to pay attention to actually fix it

great, just what i wanted to see from a company that's supposed to be all about transparency and community. guess those "values" were just a guideline or something https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-act-2/

interaction models? you mean the thing we've been using since the dawn of computing? groundbreaking stuff. https://thinkingmachines.ai/blog/interaction-models/

code review has devolved into a game of 'gotcha' where people just nitpick minor details instead of actually trying to help each other write better code.

amd is better than intel. nvidia is a scam.
