finally someone else is talking about how effectiveness should actually be measured instead of just blurring past it with "good, good, good

this is the perfect storm of corporate chaos, can't wait to see how the dominos fall next. anyone else having flashbacks to the yahoo-alibaba debacle?
same energy i get from my dev team when they're like "just buy more servers" and i'm like "okay who's paying for this
ugh, react is just angular 1.5 with better ui components. can we please just use vue already?
can we please just standardize the formatting on these reports already? it's been 5 years and i'm still getting emails with 12 different font styles and sizes.
me: 5am, still sitting in a meeting about the new feature that was "ready to ship 2 weeks ago" because apparently we need to "make sure everyone is on the same
another frontend framework debate. use whatever works best for your team and project. they all have pros and cons. stop overthinking it and just ship something.
im calling it: react is the new jquery. we're at the point where every website has it, even if they don't actually need it, and it's just adding unnecessary
can we please just have a single, consistent naming convention for class names already?
why do frontenders always ask me to update the css to make something 1 pixel wider, no regard for the 10+ pages it'll break across
this is the most unnecessary article i've ever seen. who cares about some celebrity dying? we're all gonna die eventually.
another "urgent" request from the higher ups. like we don't have a million other things to do already.
guys, stop pretending like javascript frameworks are a choice. they're all the same and just pick one and stop crying about it.
just what the world needs, another cyberweapon against iran. its not like they have enough problems already or anything.

just spent 3 hours debugging a layout issue only to realize it's because safari still doesn't support grid properly, because of course it doesn't
can't believe the meeting invite said "please come prepared with ideas" but the agenda just says "update on status". what even is the point of that.
can we please just standardize the naming convention for our branches already? having to scroll through 10 versions of "feature/new-thing-v2" is literally
i'd recommend react. its battle tested, has great community support, and you can build really cool stuff with it.
react is more of a timesink than a timesaver at this point. all the overhead of managing a virtual dom and dealing with a gazillion dependencies just to build
ugh, can't believe our company is still using the outdated project management tool from 2007.
why do coffee shops still think it's a good idea to use those tiny little cups with the handles on them?
another day, another 50 slack messages. can we just go back to sending emails and calling it a day? this is chaos. i need a vacation.
can't believe i'm still dealing with this nonsense. "i'm waiting on package x to update its dependency on package y" no, you're not, the package maintainer is
ah yes, another supply chain attack. i'm sure the maintainers will do some hand-wringing and promise to do better, while nothing actually changes.

great, because what we really need is to devote almost a tenth of the state's water to keeping a bunch of servers from overheating
why do designers think we can just "make the font a little bigger" without adjusting the entire layout and causing a cascade of bugs, seriously
java is still somehow widely used and i'm at a loss as to why.
can we just acknowledge that most of the time our data is a dumpster fire and no duplicate detection strategy is gonna save us from ourselves?

tbh i don't care what frontend framework you use, they all have their pros and cons. just pick one and stick with it, don't try to use them all.
can we please just agree that every "" new social media platform is just a rehashed version of something that already exists, but with more annoying
i'm at a meeting to discuss the code review process, and let's be real, it's just a bunch of people sitting around a table trying to explain why someone's pull
can we just pick one already and move on? we've been debating this for months and our tech debt is piling up meanwhile our competitors are over here shipping
great, because what we all really needed was a revival of a show that taught us how to remove almost everything from our homes and then implied we weren't

can we please just pick one and stick to it instead of spending the next 3 months debating which one is marginally better
why do we still have to click "agree" to terms of service that we never read. can't we just have a "i have no idea what i'm agreeing to, sue me" button?
can we please just agree as a society that if a meeting could have been an email, it's the meeting organizer's fault, not mine, for wasting my time
ugh another js framework? do we really need another one and they come out like every week. i'll stick to vanilla js, thanks. less dependencies, more control.
who cares? they all have the same issues and tradeoffs. can we just pick one and move on?
seriously who thought it was a good idea to have our weekly standup meeting at 8am on monday morning.
ugh not this again. react is cool but vue has some nice features too. they're all pretty good, just pick one and learn it well.
javascript is a dumpster fire and we're all just tolerating it because '
can we please just automate the weekly status report already? its been "in progress" for months and i'm still wasting 2 hours every monday on it.
i guess its only a matter of time before someone tries to make a proprietary, whole-language query system that will inevitably need its own xml schema. jackpot.

can we just use a straightforward package install process for once? instead of having to npm install every single dev dependency just to get a package to work
ugh dependencies are the worst. today i tried to update one package and now my whole app is broken. npm is so annoying, why does it have to be so complicated?
literally no one asked for a redesign of the login page and now i have to spend the next 3 days fixing all the broken integrations thanks i guess
i mean, they all kinda work. use whatever your team is comfortable with and just get stuff done. no need to overthink it tbh.
great, because what we really needed was fewer gyms and more fancy coffee shops. who needs to stay healthy when you can pay $5 for a latte

can we please just pick one and stick to it, i'm tired of rewriting the same component three times because someone cant make up their mind
ugh, dependencies are the bane of my existence. every time i've got my project all set, i find out some upstream library has a breaking change and now my whole
