why do restaurants still put ice in every glass of tap water? can't they just trust that people will drink the water and not need it to be frozen? get with the times

great, just what we needed. more "research" from security experts to show us how they can break stuff we already knew was vulnerable.

ugh, can't stand all these dependencies these days. like, why do i need 50 different npm packages just to run a simple website? what happened to the good old days when you could just write some html and be done with it?
why do people think a 30 minute meeting is the same as 30 minutes of actual work? code reviews are especially bad, "can i just take a look" turns into 3 hours of me explaining basic concepts to someone who "just wants
great, just what we needed, more tech jargon and a title that reads like a coding fever dream.

javascript is the worst language ever created. it's so confusing and full of nonsensical quirks. i'd rather code in brainfuck than deal with that dumpster fire of a language ever again.
code review is the worst. i hate having to explain my code to a bunch of people who don't even know what they're looking at. and meetings? don't even get me started.
why do people still use java? like, i get it, it's familiar and all that, but have you seen the syntax? it's so clumsy. and don't even get me started on the garbage collection. kotlin is where it's at, folks.
npm is a never-ending nightmare of dependencies. why can't we just install a library without having to update every single other package in our project because of some minor change?
can't anyone else just turn off their airpods in public? it's not that hard to realize you're broadcasting your music to everyone around you
why do people still feel the need to wear "i'm with stupid" t-shirts? who even does that anymore? just be alone with your thoughts and feelings, you're not fooling anyone
javascript is a dumpster fire that's only still around because of browser vendors' inertia
the internet was a mistake and we all peaked in 2007. delete your account.
social media is garbage. why do we still use this? delete your account and go outside for once. this is all pointless.
javascript is a disease and typescript is a symptom
i just want to scream about the fact that websites now ask you to "verify" your email by clicking on a link before you can even make an account. like, what even is the point of that?
nice, a company using a threatened lawsuit to stifle innovation, real class act there bambu lab. can't wait to see hte inevitable fallout from being a*******s
people who say "no offense" before saying something offensive are literally teh worst can't u just be honest instead of pretending you're not about to hurt someone's feelings
i'm 99% sure the only people reading this are serious programming nerds and it's making me nervous about the state of our collective interests

can't believe i just spent an hour discussing how to refactor a function that's barely used. what's next, a meeting to decide which font to use in our code editor?
can we please just go back to writing code without 500 dependencies? every time i try to start a new project i end up spending an hour debugging some obscure npm error
can we just agree that 90% of code review meetings are just a formality and the actual changes get made after everyone went home? it's all just a facade to make us feel like we're "working as a team
can we please make auto-playing videos on websites a thing of teh past? it's 2023 and i still have to mute my computer every time i open a new tab
can we please just have one day where no one sends me a notification asking me to rate or review something i just bought or used? it's exhausting
the internet was such a mistake. all these ads and algorithms and influencers. It's just sensory overload. i'm about to delete this whole damn app. we really did peak back in 2007, didn't we?
can't even start a new project without npm trying to download the entire damn internet. why do i need 500mb of dependencies just to make a simple website?
this book is a fascinating look into the history of computing, but it's also a reminder of how much work we still have to do to make tech more inclusive and accessible.

can we talk about how npm is just a never-ending nightmare of dependencies and sub-dependencies and sub-sub-dependencies? why do i need 500 packages to install a simple library?
can we all just admit that social media has made us all ly more miserable and anxious and just delete our accounts already??
javascript is literally the ugliest code i've ever had to read in my life, who thought assigning type to a variable with let x = "hello" was a good idea?
i'm seriously starting to think that social media has made us all worse people, like we're just competing in some twisted game of who can be the most outraged or offended all the time, it's exhausting
can we please just acknowledge that almost every "smart" home device is just a normal device with wifi and a $50 price hike
hte internet was a mistake. why is everything so frustrating these days? we're all just yelling into the void. delete your account, it's not worth it.
javascript is a dumpster fire and we're all just pretending to be okay with it
code reviews are just an excuse for people to nitpick and feel superior, meanwhile i've got actual work to do and deadlines to meet
javascript is literally the worst language to try and learn as a beginner, it's like they took all the confusing parts of every other language and mashed them all together into one beautiful mess
npm is literally the worst. every project is a mess of nested dependencies and conflicting versions, just waiting to break when you least expect it.
can we all just agree that python is the equivalent of a timeshare - it's "industry standard" but secretly a total pain in the ass for everyone involved?
i'm so sick of people still thinking social media is somehow separate from the real world like, hello, we're all downstream of this toxic river and it's upstreaming our brains
streaming services are literally just overpriced cable but with worse ads and no local channels
i'm convinced social media was created specifically to make us feel like crap about our lives and to sell us useless junk, can we just go back to myspace or something?
i hate dealing with dependencies. npm is such a mess, everything is always breaking or needs to be updated. why does every project have like a million packages, it's so overkill.
java is still the worst thing to happen to programming since visual basic, who thought checked exceptions were a good idea ffs
meetings and code reviews are literally the worst. you spend an hour explaining something simple to a room full of people who could've just read the documentation themselves.
you've got to be kidding me. eminem hasn't been relevant in like, 10 years. this is just another attempt to stay in the spotlight.
finally, someone is talking about preventing servers from crashing due to 'memory overcommit' - it's about time

why do restaurants put their wifi password on a chalkboard that's literally only visible to people who are already sitting down? seems like a major accessibility fail to me
this is literally one of the coolest things i've seen all week, art like this never gets old to me
the internet was a mistake. we're all just wasting our lives scrolling through this crap. delete your account, go outside for once.
another shiny new tool to make my life even more complicated. how about we try turning off the tech for a day instead?
