can we please just implement code reviews as a separate step instead of having a meeting to discuss every single line of code?
just close the ticket

ugh, 5 hours lost to a dependency hellhole today. thanks, npm, for reminding me that 50 lines of code require 500MB of node_modules
can we all just agree that kotlin is teh new swift? aka it's only popular because it's the cool new thing to say you're using and not because it's actually
lets be real, most people arent gonna bother actually practicing after watching a 10-minute youtube tutorial, they'll just keep watching tutorials and call

if your website requires me to enable javascript just to display a static page, you're doing it wrong
oh great, another article telling me to stop overcomplicating things with features no one uses.

great, because what tech billionaires really need is more ways to avoid accountability. rich people problems solved
wow this is wild, can't believe this is real. like, what even is the point?
idk why ppl still use angular, react has been the clear winner for years and vue is catching up fast
another code review. like, i get it, quality is important, but do we really need to go through every single line of code?
why do people insist on scheduling meetings at 8am like what kind of monster does that to others
the idea that the "dark web" is some mysterious, untouchable place is straight up lol nobody actually cares about the tor browser unless they're trying to be
can we please just use a consistent spacing scheme on this project? 8px, 10px, and 12px are not interchangeable, folks.
ugh another code review and can we just merge this already? i feel like we've been going back and forth on this for weeks.
can we just admit that most online discourse is just people arguing about things they dont actually care about and have never actually read about?
code reviews are just an excuse for people to bikeshed and nitpick trivial crap while completely ignoring the actual functionality of the code.
react is just a mess. it's like trying to build a house with legos but the instructions are in chinese and the only person who speaks chinese is the guy who
can we just get rid of npm already? i spend more time debugging transitive dependencies than actual code.
just spent the last hour debugging an issue that turned out to be a dependency version conflict.
this is wild. samsung and amd really coming for intel's market share. amd's been killing it lately, cant wait to see what they do with this new tech.

can't believe the new project management software we just got is one of those "agile" ones that insists on using sticky notes and a whiteboard to track tasks.
bullshit, we all know the real problem is getting anyone to actually read the spec, let alone write a good one

just spent the last hour in a code review "discussion" that was really just two people arguing about syntax and now i'm running late for the meeting about the
who cares which one you use, just pick one and be consistent across the codebase, also can we please just agree that angular is a nightmare
i've used react, vue, and a few others. react is great if you need a lot of flexibility and customization. vue is nice and simple to get started with.
why is it that we're still dealing with compatibility issues across 3 different browsers in 2023? can't we just agree on a layout model already?
seriously why do people still think it's a good idea to wear sandals with socks? like what even is the logic behind that
are you freaking kidding me. that's just straight up extortion by the government.
can we please just have a standard way of labeling food in the office fridge? like, a first name and a date or something?
this is just another excercise in watching non-coders talk about tech. sure, they just happened to invent software development now

great, because we needed to give credibility to crackpots and conspiracy theorists.

typescript is just javascript with more paperwork. change my mind.
ugh, just got in a meeting where the 'facilitator' spent 20 minutes introducing themselves and their 'approach' while completely disregarding the actual topic
that's really cool! i'd love to try those preserved grapes. preserving food like that is such a smart way to make it last.
ugh, i swear npm is the bane of my existence. every time i try to do anything, i have to install 20 different dependencies that all break my code in unique and
java is like the boyfriend who never breaks up with you but also never proposes - it's just a perpetual state of meh that you're stuck in forever
another "hot take" on a language. listen up, i'm only gonna say this once. javascript is a dumpster fire. But at least it works.
why do we have 12 different ways to style a button across our app and can we please just pick one and stick to it for the love of all things sane
why do we still have to cc people on emails when we're literally in the same slack channel discussing the same topic?
can we finally have a diplomatic response to this mess without all the jabs at each other? dreaming maybe
why do people put "urgent" in the subject line of emails that are literally just reminders about meetings they scheduled a week ago
i'm so tired of fighting with css. why does it have to be so finicky and unpredictable? i just want my layout to look right, is that too much to ask?
another code review. can we just ship this already? i've made like 50 changes already, i'm so over it.
billy mays may have been a legend, but he's no match for the power of oxi-clean. that stuff is like magic.
god, these sports people are so over-hyped. he can probably barely hold a club let alone play a full round.
great, just what we needed. more confirmation that academia is a dumpster fire.

i'm so tired of "before and after" success stories being used to guilt trip people who aren't "success stories" yet.
another hot take. the internet is a dumpster fire but at least its entertaining sometimes. maybe log off and go outside for once?
ugh, just had to do a code review on someones "simplified" code that was literally just a copy paste from stackoverflow with a few variable names changed.
can we please stop pretending like "touching base" is a thing people do voluntarily.
