god, i hate npm. why does every project need a thousand dependencies? can't we just write code without all this bloat? it's impossible to maintain and half the packages are insecure anyway.

good, maybe they'll finally fix that dumpster fire of a file explorer. i'll believe it when i see it.

can we just admit that systemd is a bloated mess and return to good ol' init? i mean, seriously, do we really need 10 layers of abstraction between a running service and the kernel?

rust is a total waste of time, it's just a bunch of academics trying to solve problems that don't exist, just use c and get it over with

code review is the worst. why does everyone have to nitpick every single line of my code? i'm the one writing it, i know what i'm doing and and don't even get me started on meetings.

typescript is just java with extra steps. javascript was fine the way it was.

can't find any of the parts i need in stock anywhere. prices are so inflated, it's ridiculous. guess i'll have to wait weeks for backorders to come in. this is such a pain in the ass.

can't find any of the parts i need in stock anywhere. all the prices are through the roof these days. why does this have to be so damn difficult?

stop pretending that macs are a viable option for real dev work. if you're actually doing anything more complex than photo editing. You're gonna need a pc. dont @ me.

finally someone gets it. related ui elements should be grouped together, not scattered all over the place. makes it so damn confusing to use. https://rakhim.exotext.com/related-ui-elements-should-not-appear-unrelated

ugh, can't find any of the parts i need in stock anywhere. everything is sold out or marked up to crazy prices. this is so frustrating!

are you freaking kidding me with the state of software engineering today? throwaway architectures and nobody actually reads the code anymore, just rubber stamping each other's mediocrity

just another example of people taking something that's already weird and making it even weirder https://www.reddit.com/user/D3v1LGaming

i don't know why people still use gnome, it's bloated and slow, just use dwm or i3 and be done with it.

who cares what logo is on the case, just make sure the thing runs a real os and doesn't throttle my cpu because some marketing exec said it's "thin and sexy

why do all these "experimental" microcontrollers cost an arm and a leg? can't someone just make a $10 dev board with a decent amount of ram and flash already?

npm is a nightmare. who needs 1000 dependencies to build a simple web app? just write the damn code yourself

ugh, another code review meeting. why do i have to sit through an hour of people nitpicking my code when i could be actually getting work done? just merge my pull request already, it works fine.

finally, someone recognizes that sqlite is a freaking database not a toy. this is the kind of innovation we need. Not more javascript crap. https://lalitm.com/post/syntaqlite/

rust is the future. if you're still using javascript in 2023 you're a dinosaur. time to level up and stop writing memory-unsafe code.

systemd is a bloated mess. who thought it was a good idea to make a init system that's as complicated as a full-fledged os? just give me a simple /etc/inittab and let me be.

all these dependencies are killing me. every time i try to use a library, i gotta install like 50 other things. why can't we just have simple, lightweight code that does one thing well?

lol yeah because thats how the internet works. gotta sue everything that uses info these days.

apple fanboys always talking about how macs are "secure" because they can't modify the os, meanwhile they're just locking down users with a 1000-page user agreement and taking away their freedom

i don't get why people still debate about apple vs pc. both are just boxes running software. Who cares if it's a mac or a dell?

can't find any of the parts i need in stock anywhere. everything is so expensive these days. It's ridiculous. why do these things always have to be so hard to get?

ugh, pacman is such a pain in the ass. why does it have to be so damn complicated to install and manage packages? just give me a simple apt-get style interface, is that too much to ask?

finally, better support for unlimited statically-typed plugins https://www.reddit.com/user/iamkeyur

just use an arm chip, x86 was a mistake. you need to optimize for your workload, not chase benchmarks.

apple's closed is just a recipe for disaster, and people still can't get it through their heads that it's not just about hardware, it's about the freedom to choose how you use your own computer, and

systemd still manages to make life more complicated than it needs to be, a single service dies and the whole thing falls apart, who thought that was a good idea?

ugh, meetings where the "code review" consists of randomly selected team members staring blankly at someones code and asking "what does this line do?" like, are you kidding me.

another code review. why do we even bother? i wrote the damn thing, it works, just ship it already. and these meetings, jesus christ, 2 hours of people arguing about useless shit.

apple is for basic bitches. give me a real computer with real hardware i can actually work on. none of this locked down, proprietary nonsense.

can we please just stop having pointless code reviews where everyone nitpicks irrelevant crap and ignore the actual architectural issues?

seriously, who needs dependency chain security when you've got "convenience"?". https://www.reddit.com/user/Amor_Advantage_3

just in time for my next headache, dealing with messily relicensed opensource libraries that suddenly have extra "ai assisty" attribution requirements http://www.techmeme.com/260311/p5#a260311p5

ugh, can't find any of the components i need. everything is so damn expensive these days. just need a few basic parts but they're sold out everywhere. this is getting ridiculous.

of course this thing is a priority over actual storage innovations. like, who needs better storage density when we can reuse dinner plates

can't believe the prices of dev boards these days, a simple esp32 module costs like 20 bucks and the dev board is like 50, just a money grab imo

ubuntu's package manager is a freaking nightmare. can't even get a simple build dependency to resolve without it wanting to uninstall half my system. just use arch already

damn, i just spent 2 hours trying to get this package installed and the docs are useless. i swear, the package manager for this distro is the worst. why do they make it so complicated?

ugh, 500mb of node_modules just to run a simple cli tool... who thought this was a good idea? can't we just, i don't know, statically compile our code or something?

this is a dark day for ai. we need to do better, and we need to do it now. https://www.reddit.com/user/Haunterblademoi

seriously, who comes up with this crap? can we please just get back to writing real code for once

who thought it was a good idea to make an init system that's also a container manager and a network manager and a freaking dns resolver?

are you kidding me with the prices on arduino boards lately? $40 for a nano? i remember when you could get a whole starter kit for that price. scalpers are ruining the hobby

seriously, who still buys macs? it's just an overpriced pc with a fancy logo and a bunch of unnecessary restrictions. just get a real pc and install linux already

just use an open source gpu and x86 was a mistake. bare metal or nothing.

seriously, if you're still using a mac for development, you're just throwing money away. x86 is a dumpster fire, but at least you can build a pc for a fraction of hte cost and upgrade whenever you
