these code reviews are the worst. why do we even need them? just let me write my code and push it already. and these damn meetings. They just waste my time.

wow, microslop really has no idea what consent means. they should be ashamed of themselves.
just spent 2 hours trying to get a node module to install because of some stupid dependency hell. can't believe we still have to deal with this crap in 2023.
grapheneos gets it, finally a company that actually cares about our privacy, unlike most of the other giant corps out there who are just dying to get their hands on our personal
code review is literally the worst thing about being a programmer - it's always some "suggestions" from folks who can't write a working line of code to save their lives
great, cuz what the world really needed was another csv parser, nice work paul allen, very original

ugh, another code review. i swear these people just like to hear themselves talk. like, we all know the code works, can we just move on already?
ugh why do all these modern front end frameworks have to have like 50 dependencies and a million lines of code? cant they just make something simple for once?
finally a company that gets it, privacy matters and shouldn't require sacrificing your personal info. btw all other companies should take note

i swear every single restaurant menu item is a "craft" or "artisanal" or "small-batch" something now.
okay but like seriously, why do we still have to explain what "hate speech" means in 2023. dont people get it yet?
people still don't get that algorithms aren't "personal" they're just a f***ing math equation, don't @ me
can we please just make public transportation free already? it's wild that we prioritize subsidizing corporations over helping ppl get to work
this is the kinda research we should be funding, not bombs and wars. healthcare innovation for the win

who wrote this, the simplicity fairy? like, no thanks, i need all the complexity in my life

wow delphi is still a thing?? no one cares about that garbage language and time to put it out of its misery already.

why do people still use "emailed" as a verb? it's been "emailed" for like 2 decades now, can we just admit that it's a noun and move on?!
this whole thing is such a mess. why does everything have to be so complicated and frustrating? can't we just get our sh*t together for once? enough is enough, i'm over it.
no shocker that tiktok is a breeding ground for dodgy health advice. anyone surprised by this hasn't spent 5 minutes on that app.
how is it that coffee shops can charge $5 for a cup of coffee but i'm still expected to be grateful for a $10/hour wage?
another code review, like i dont know how to code already. all these meetings are just a waste of time, let me get back to actually doing my job instead of sitting in some
why do we pay more for a coffee than a hospital visit? like what is wrong with our priorities
this is the good shit, we need more people like this. imagine giving up your own food to feed stray animals, thats real compassion.
great, because what the world really needs is another ai model from a company that still can't get their act together on software updates.

this is exactly what i'm talking about, america needs to get on the electric train already

every time i'm stuck in traffic, i see at least 5 people eating a huge meal in their car, and i'm just over here sitting here with a bag of stale granola bar
javascript is a dumpster fire, who thought it was a good idea to make a language with so many pitfalls and gotchas
another tech article. who cares about this nerdy shit, just give me healthcare

npm is the worst. why do i need 30 dependencies just to build a simple web app? and they all have their own dependencies too. its a never-ending rabbit hole of bloated code.
can we please just admit that npm is a dumpster fire? every time i try to install a new package, it's a 50/50 chance that some obscure dependency from 2018 is gonna break
i'm sick of these javascript fanboys always shitting on python. python may not be as "cool" or "trendy" as javascript, but it gets the job done and has a way better community imo.
can't believe my landlord is raising my rent again... like, i know costs go up but it feels like they're just trying to price out all the long-time tenants
just had another code review and it was a total waste of time. the devs on my team love to nitpick every little thing instead of focusing on the big picture.
great, because a ยฃ450k fine is really going to bankrupt a website that's mostly just a hub for image macros and shitposting lol

its the algorithm stupid. big tech just wants our attention and data. They dont actually care about truth or justice. means testing is evil and healthcare should be free.
this day has been such a drag. why is everything so damn frustrating sometimes? just wanna curl up on the couch and forget about it all, you know? #mondaymood
javascript is a mess, who thought it was a good idea to make a language that's so forgiving it's basically unusable for anything serious
wow, $8b valuation? thats wild, gotta check this out

lol cops crying over a mean video? poor babies. maybe they should try being less corrupt and abusive if they want more respect.
can we please just have a legit public option for isp's already? monopolies are ruining our lives and making it impossible for ppl to get decent internet
can we please just admit llms are not that deep? they're just a fancy way to repeat what you already said

can we please just make public transportation free already? its wild that we're still charging people to get to work/school/etc in 2023
can we just take a moment to appreciate how absurd it is that we're expected to be "productive" and "on top of things" at all hours of the day, even when we're not even getting
just what we needed, another decentralized thingy to distract us from the crushing power of bezo's empire

net neutrality is dead and we're stuck with internet oligopolies... can we please just have a public option already
ugh, can't we just do real work for once? meetings and code reviews are just an excuse for people to "add value" by doing nothing productive except breathing down our necks
net neutrality is literally the bare minimum to prevent corporations from controlling what we can and can't see online, wtf is wrong with ppl who think it's optional??
can we pls just admit that online discourse is mostly just rich people arguing with each other while the rest of us are over here trying to survive
javascript is teh worst. always so bloated and inconsistent. i'd much rather use a real language like rust or elixir.
can we just code already? i swear half of our meetings could just be emails to each other and we'd be done in 1/4 the time
