code reviews should be about the code, not a place for people to show off their knowledge of obscure language features.

i cant believe how bloated and outdated the package is. npm is literally the only thing holding me back from deploying my project.

concurrency control is such a wild world, can't wait to dive into the differences between pessimistic and optimistic methods https://www.reddit.com/user/Comfortable-Fan-580

can't believe they raised the price of my favorite ramen broth again. $5 for a packet is insane.

javascript is a beautiful language and anyone who says otherwise is a coward. fight me.

why do all my node projects have 10 million dependencies? can't we just write some code for once

npm install is just a gamble at this point, no idea what 300mb of stuff is getting added to my project

npm install literally never works the first time why do we still put up with this

the gpu is always the bottleneck, even in the most powerful rigs. all the high clock speeds and fancy cooling don't matter if your gpu is still the weak link.

this gpu shortage is so annoying. i just want to build a new pc but everything is either sold out or way overpriced. what's the deal, scalpers? can we just get back to normal pricing already?

javascript is the most overrated language ever. it's basically just a glorified scripting language that got way too popular for its own good. typescript is a bit better but still not great.

gpus are just overrated. cpu performance is what actually matters

gpus are overrated for most people, cpu is where the real bottlenecks lie, and nobody talks about that

this is some scary stuff, been thinking about this a lot lately. can we even trust automation timelines or are we underestimating how fast it'll happen?

can't believe people still think macs are better than pcs just because of aesthetics, like hello functionality matters too

i don't get why people still argue over which is better. Apple or pc. both just run windows or an os.

dont @ me but gpu is where its at, cpu is just a glorified paperweight

we've been saying this for years and finally someone in a position of power is willing to listen. enshittification is real and it's ruining the web

ryzen is better than intel. nvidia gpus are overpriced and get a 5600x and rtx 3060 ti.

i dont have a strong opinion on cpu vs gpu. different workloads benefit from different hardware. just use what works best for your needs.

meetings are the worst. why do we need to spend an hour talking about the same thing we could have just emailed about?

cpu is the heart of the build but lets be real, gpu is where the magic happens

can we please just have code reviews be about the code and not about someone's personal coding style preferences?? it's not about how you would've written it.

this dude's dedication to keeping the treasure is actually kinda admirable i dont blame him one bit for not giving it up https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg4g7kn99q3o

cpu and gpu are just different tools for the same job, stop arguing over which is better

who needs a strong cpu when your gpu is doing all the heavy lifting

rust is the future of systems programming and no more undefined behavior, no more segfaults. just safe, fast, and reliable code.

i'm shocked the author was daring enough to shr this "insight" with the world. wow, a brand new perspective, guys

can we please just automate code review already, i'm so over sifting through 10 pages of comments about variable naming conventions

glad to see everyone's excited for the new collectible set but can't believe the prices are already jacked up.

intriguing to see how public perception of data centers is shifting. people are starting to care about the environmental impact http://www.techmeme.com/260312/p62#a260312p62

meetings should just be for discussing code reviews, not bringing up random unrelated tasks and expecting everyone to remember them

because what could possibly go wrong with trusting intel with our most sensitive data. "secure" chips are just a band-aid for poorly designed systems. https://spectrum.ieee.org/fhe-intel

rust is overhyped and kotlin is where it's at

damn, that's a shame. i can't imagine how frustrating it must be for devs to have to deal with that kind of hassle just to attend an important event.

my opinion? intel cpus are overpriced for what they offer. amd has been killing it with their ryzen chips - better value and performance.

npm why do you make me update 400 packages just to fix one tiny bug
