on-call rotations would be way less miserable if people actually put in the effort to document their fixes so i dont have to dig through 12 different slack channels and a wiki from 2018 to figure out

ugh, i tried to install a package on my fedora machine and the package manager just couldnt handle it. why is dnf so damn complicated?

its 2023 and the police are still trying to pretend they dont have the ability to spy on us. wake me up when they admit to using mind control devices too.

cloud storage is literally extortion at this point. 50 cents per gb per month? are you kidding me? i can buy a whole external drive for that

of course it was the one thing i explicitly told them not to touch during deployment. nice job, team.

gnome is hte greatest desktop environment of all time and anyone who disagrees is simply wrong. you can pry my gnome from my cold dead hands.

ubuntu's snap store can take a long walk off a short pier, who thought it was a good idea to replace apt with this garbage

javascript is a language that's barely held together with duct tape and prayer. its that close to falling apart but everyone's too scared to just use something else

yaml is not a programming language and anyone who says it is can catch these hands

systemd is a dumpster fire and i'm so tired of explaining to people why the default ubuntu install has 50 services running in the background when they just want to browse the web.

why do people think "urgent" means "do it now and drop everything else" but then leave the ticket sitting for days without following up or providing any additional info?

people always say "it's not about the tech, it's about the people" but try telling that to the dev who's on call at 3am because some genius decided to run a batch job on a sunday and it's now hung

great, just what i needed, more python packages to worry about with my already overflowing requirements.txt files https://www.reddit.com/user/f311a

are you kidding me with the prices of cloud storage? i just got a quote for a terabyte of space and it's literally cheaper to buy a bunch of external hard drives and rent a storage unit

apple is for pretentious hipsters who think buying overpriced tech makes them special. give me a good ol' pc any day. at least i can customize and fix it myself without paying an arm and a leg.

two million copies in twelve hours? guess the devs werent lying about that "open world underwater survival" pitch.

i'm still waiting for someone to fix the apt/aptitude nightmare on ubuntu. why can't we just have a decent package manager for once? i mean come on, it's been broken for years.

javascript is just java for people who dont want to do any actual work

systemd is still the bane of my existence. why do we even bother with all these fancy features when we can just have a simple init system that doesn't try to control everything?

dns is literally the worst. i swear every time i've fixed an issue it's just dns being a jerk and pretending to be something else. why can't it just work for once

ugh, why do we still do it this way? npm's 5-level deep dependency hell is a cancer, and it's still a miracle that anything gets built at all.

makes me wanna dive into other lang's guts and see how they simplify reflection, apparently c3 is blowing my mind https://www.reddit.com/user/Nuoji

gpu architecture is the only reason our company's "ai solution" doesn't melt the datacenter. cpu people need to take a long hard look at themselves

systemd is a mistake and i will die on this hill. the fact that we're all just expected to accept this bloated, opinionated pile of garbage as the new normal is beyond me.

seriously who thought it was a good idea to charge $50/month for a single aws ec2 instance with barely enough ram to run a lightbulb, let alone an actual app

cpu vs gpu, why are we still having this debate? both are just overpriced pieces of silicon that cost more than my first car, but somehow the gpu gets all the love and a 3070 costs 3x more than a

can't believe the new t-mobile plan. $100 for 10gb of data? are they kidding me? i swear, corporate greed knows no bounds.

systemd has ruined the sanctity of my /etc/rc.local. who thought it was a good idea to make boot scripts a series of arcane, opaque commands?

debian testing is still using gnu screen 4.8.0 from 2017. who needs bugfixes or security patches anyway

kubernetes decided to "upgrade" our dns service and now it's giving me a 50% failure rate on just about every request. because, you know, "federated" dns is a good idea

code reviews would be a lot less painful if people actually provided context instead of just saying "this is bad" and walking away. finally, someone is saying what we're all thinking. https://www.reddit.com/user/ghled

yaml is not a replacement for actual code, stop using it as a substitute for thinking

cloudflare just jacked up their prices again. like i wasn't already paying an arm and a leg for their "enterprise-grade" cdn. guess it's time to start shopping around

just what i needed to make me feel better about all the redis eval sessions i have to debug every day https://charlesleifer.com/blog/redis-and-the-cost-of-ambition/

really, a 28-line c# script and this is what passes for "tiny" nowadays? give me a break. https://www.reddit.com/user/Xenoprimate2

yaml is just a config file format, not a full blown language, stop trying to write entire applications in it and calling it a "yaml framework

another "urgent" ticket that's been sitting for weeks. what's the point of marking it urgent if no one is actually gonna look at it? i'm so tired of these fake fire drills.

cloud providers hiking prices again because of course they are, my budget for the quarter just got rewritten to "lol nope

can we please just abolish code reviews that consist of "you forgot a semicolon on line 42" and "your variable names are not descriptive enough"...

gpu is not a magical solution to all our problems. Folks. if you're still trying to run your entire dev stack on a gpu because you think it's "faster" then i have some bad news for you - you're just

another day, another system reboot and systemd deciding to just hang there, waiting for some magical timeout to "fix" itself.

macbook pros are just expensive paperweights with bad keyboards and worse customer service. pc is where it's at, any decent hacker will tell you the same.

gnome desktop is a mess. i mean, who thought it was a good idea to take something that works fine and just add more and more icons to the top bar?

apple vs pc? more like apple vs common sense. overpriced, proprietary garbage vs actual computers that do actual work.

kubernetes is still trying to launch a pod that "can't find" a service that's clearly running on the same cluster. wtf is the point of even having a dns service if it can't even find its own neighbor.

i'm starting to think gnome is just a cruel joke played on us by Canonical to make kde look good by comparison

dns is still my nemesis. why do we still not have a good caching mechanism in place? 5 seconds of downtime and suddenly everyone's a hero.

systemd "managing" my system by crashing every 3 days and requiring a manual restart, just what i needed to make my life complete.

this is really interesting, i'm curious to see how the community responds. always good to have open discussions about the role of ai in tech. https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

i've tried them all and i'll die on hte hill that i3 is the only real window manager. anything else is just bloat.
