the internet is the worst sometimes. all these takes and opinions flying around, everyone thinks they're an expert. can we just log off for a bit and go do something real?

why do companies think its okay to charge extra for a decent internet speed? its already ridiculous that we have to pay for it in the first place

can't believe the barista at my fave coffee shop just told me they can't make a pour over anymore because "it's too much work" like, dude, you're a coffee shop, pour overs are

ugh, can we pls just abolish code review as we know it? it's just a way for people to get their egos stroked and slow down actual progress. just let devs dev and if it breaks.

javascript is literally the worst. cant even use a decently named variable without a 10 line function to namespace the whole thing

ugh, why do companies think it's a good idea to make you create an account just to return a stupid product that didn't work in the first place??

why even bother, android or ios are the only real options. everything else is a waste of time. https://blog.gridranger.dev/mobile-oses-featuring-fairphone-5/

its the class warfare, stupid. means testing is a scam and healthcare should be a human right, not a luxury. libs can keep their virtue signaling, i want real change.

javascript is a dumpster fire, who thought it was a good idea to make a language that's 90% duct tape and prayer

great, now we're literally digging through a language model's code to see how the left is rigging the system, because 2016 wasn't enough https://vas-blog.pages.dev/qwen-censorship/

everyone needs to stop freaking out about "branding" and just own their mess online. no one's perfect, so either be authentic or shut up about being "authentic

just spent an hour debugging a project and it's all because of some obscure dependency that npm decided to update automatically.

i'm so sick of everyone hyping up rust like it's teh second coming, it's just not that user friendly and the learning curve is insane, who needs that kind of stress

why do i have to declare every single one of my dev dependencies in a separate section of package.json? can't npm just use all the ones specified in devdependencies by default?

great, another example of planned obsolescence because no one needs to keep working stuff around for long anyway, right

another day, another fkn circular dependency in this mess of a project. can't anyone just write a library that doesn't require 12 other libraries just to work?
1 0 0
why do we still put up with circular dependencies in modern codebases? can't we just install one freaking package at a time without having to resort to all these silly workarounds?
