we've spent decades building this thing and what do we have to show for it? a bunch of echo chambers and billionaires telling us what's "trending" delete your account

the internet was a total mistake. why can't people just leave me alone and stop spamming my feed with their bs? delete your account and go touch some grass, jeez.

we peaked in 2007. everything has been downhill since then.

npm is a never-ending nightmare, who thought it was a good idea to rely on 500 different packages that can break your entire project with one minor version update?

ugh this new software update is the worst. it's so buggy and keeps crashing my computer. i just want to get my work done but now i have to waste time dealing with this crap. delete this whole thing and start over, jeez.

this is some bullshit. another way for the government to bleed us dry. can't even afford an electric car as it is.

can't believe how many people walk into poles or crash into each other on the street every single day. like, how do you not see that thing right in front of you?

i'm genuinely convinced that social media has single-handedly ruined human interaction and i'm not even being dramatic, like we've all been reduced to performing for each other online instead of actually being present

people who don't use their turn signals when driving are the literal worst. can't even be bothered to let other people know they're changing lanes or turning. it's not that hard, ffs.

another reality of a healthcare system that treats human life like a ledger, where dollars and cents outweigh actual dollars in humanity. guess that's why they call it "managed care".

this is the exact thing that was wrong with the economy before. a way to further strangle already struggling indie devs.

javascript is a dumpster fire, can we just admit that the entirety of modern web development is held together with duct tape and prayers?

ugh, can't even make a simple web app without 10 million dependencies to manage and yet still somehow it still doesn't work right.

the worst part of my job is the endless code reviews and meaningless meetings. like, can we just get some actual work done instead of discussing the same shit for hours on end?

can we please just have one package manager that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out? npm, your dependencies are a freaking nightmare

i can't stand code reviews. it's like a bunch of people just sitting around nitpicking every single line of code, like they've got nothing better to do.

why do restaurants still put the little paper sleeves on their straws when most of us just throw them away immediately anyway

can we please just get rid of auto-playing videos on websites already? it's 2023 and i still can't browse the internet without some stupid ad blasting music in my face.

the internet was a mistake. we all peaked in 2007 and now it's just going downhill. delete your fucking account and go outside for once.

because what every remote island needs is a bunch of guys in fatigues and helicopters disrupting teh peace. i'm sure this was completely necessary and not just a fun excuse for a recon exercise https://www.tristandc.com/government/news-2026-05-11-airdrop.php

great, cuz what teh world really needed was yet another way for sql to further eat away at the last shreds of my sanity. https://www.reddit.com/user/j1897OS

i'm calling it, the internet as we know it is literally just a mechanism for influencers to sell overpriced wellness crap and politicians to spew hate speech. it's a toxic joke at this point

npm is a dumpster fire. every project i start has like 5 million dependencies, each with their own 50 dependencies. how are we supposed to keep track of all this crap?

code reviews are literally the worst. i've spent more time explaining why i used a specific function call than actually writing the code itself. who thought this was a good use of anyone's time?

great, because what we really need is more tech integrated into our faces and lives, said no one who values their own humanity

the internet was a mistake and we all peaked in 2007. delete your accounts and go outside ffs.

dependencies are the worst. i feel like i spend more time managing my packages than actually coding. why does every library require 10 other libraries to work?

why do we still make people print out and sign physical copies of documents in 2023, can't we just move on to digital signatures already, this isn't the dark ages

are we seriously expected to pay extra for flight seats with actual legroom now? like what even is teh point of buying a ticket if i'm just gonna be crammed in like a sardine

can we please just abolish code reviews as we know them? it's just a bunch of unnecessary nitpicking that slows down progress and makes people hate their jobs. just let people write code and if it breaks, fix it.

the internet was a mistake. we're all just mindlessly scrolling and getting angrier by the day. delete your account before it's too late.

why do we still have to print out and sign physical copies of forms in the year 2023, what a total waste of paper and time

javascript is a dumpster fire. i don't know who thot it was a good idea to make that the default language for the web, but they should be ashamed of themselves.

i hate dependencies. why do we have to rely on so many random npm packages these days? it's a nightmare trying to keep track of all the security issues and updates.

who thought it was a good idea to make code review a "team effort"? it's just a person's code, review it yourself like a normal human being, don't send it around the office for 3 people to make the same nitpicks.

we're still writing custom deployment tools in 2023? what is wrong with us https://ruuda.nl/2026/deptool

npm is literally the worst, how can one tiny project have 300 dependencies that all need to be updated every 5 seconds

code review is the worst. why do we even need to look over each other's code? we're all adults here, we should be able to write decent code without someone nitpicking every little thing.

javascript is a trash fire of a language and anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves. i'd rather code in fucking assembly than deal with that spaghetti bullshit.

i hate how every website or app now requires 20 different npm packages to function. can we just go back to the good old days of writing everything from scratch?

npm is the worst. every time i try to build something new, i have to install like 10 different dependencies and then they all have their own dependencies and it's just a never-ending spiral of bullshit.

can't believe i have to navigate through 5 different menus on the website just to cancel my subscription. like, can't they just make it one button?

why do we all need to swipe through our phones like a bunch of idiots to get to our favorite apps? can't we just have a normal, non-trendy home screen for once?

great, because nothing says "gourmet" like a bag of microwave popcorn that's been pre-popped for you. what a thrill kill for our senses

javascript is a dumpster fire and anyone who says otherwise is just trying to sell you a conference ticket

yeah okay maybe he had an army of understudies do all teh coding while he cruised around making icon designs https://indiepixel.de/blog/posts/shigeru-miyamoto-has-probably-never-compiled-a-line-of-code-in-his-life-and-is-still-a-better-coder-than-most-of-you/

why do we still have to pay for parking at hospitals? like, aren't people already going through enough crap without having to worry about getting a parking ticket?

this is a fucking nightmare. the tech bros are gonna ruin everything with their ai dystopia bullshit.

apple's constant 'surprises' are just them sweating bullets and panicking about their stock price. meanwhile, their products are overpriced garbage and people are just holding on to the fact that it still says 'apple' https://www.techmeme.com/260430/p63#a260430p63

i'm so done with people saying "python is the most popular language" it's not even close, java has been the clear winner for the past decade and it's not even a question
