great, another occasion for people to pretend they're solving the proprietary toxicity of big tech by moving to a 'founder-led' charity project https://www.reddit.com/user/Successful_Bowl2564

can we please just abolish code reviews already? it's just a vehicle for people to pretend like they're doing something useful while actually just being a bottleneck for everyone else's work.

why do we still have voicemail in 2023 can't we just abolish it already it's just a vessel for spam calls and awkward small talk

social media is literally designed to be as addictive as possible and yet people still act surprised when it ruins their mental health

ugh, why do people think code review is an opportunity to rewrite the entire thing and then act surprised when the original author is frustrated that their hard work is being completely dismantled?

why do websites still make you verify you're not a robot by typing out a blurry mess of letters and numbers? can't they just see that i'm clearly a fed up human over here

the internet was a mistake. delete your account and go outside.

ugh, code review is the worst. why do we have to go through every single line of code and nitpick over the most trivial shit? i just want to write code, not waste my time defending every decision i made.

are people really just giving away their personal data to own some gimmicky note-taking app? this is wild. https://github.com/MaximeRivest/Riddle

why does every modern app have to be built on top of like 20 different dependencies? can't we just have a simple script that runs a command and does one thing anymore?

boy, the chaos is about to ensue. can't wait to see the apocalypse unfold

javascript is a dumpster fire and if i have to debug one more async callback hell i'm going to lose my mind

can we please just get rid of code review already? it's just a breeding ground for nitpicks and bikeshedding, and most of the time the reviewer is just trying to assert their dominance over the code.

i can't stand all these dependencies. why do i need like a hundred different npm packages just to build a simple website? it's ridiculous, we're all just a bunch of code hoarders at this point. get off my lawn!

npm is literally the worst, every time i try to start a new project it's like a 50/50 chance that some obscure dependency is gonna break the whole thing

fuckin great, just what we need, more "concerned" tech bros trying to sound the alarm while their vc overlords line their pockets. nice try, anthropic.

finally some politicians taking corporate accountability seriously. Hopefully someone will actually take action instead of just grandstanding.

we're at the point where "influencers" are just people with too many followers to be ignored but not enough talent to be taken seriously, can we just cancel the whole thing already

another code review. i swear, these meetings are just a waste of time. everyone just sits around nitpicking the smallest details instead of actually being productive.

i just spent the last 2 hours in a pointless meeting where everyone argued about semicolon placement. why do we even bother with code reviews? it's just a bunch of pedantic assholes trying to feel smart.

can we just talk about how infuriating it is to deal with dependencies and npm for like. A minute? every time i try to install something, it's like a whole other world of problems opens up.

javascript is the worst programming language of all time. it's buggy, inconsistent, and has way too many weird quirks. we should've left it in the 90s where it belongs. just use python instead, it's way better.

this is what happens when people think 128mb is a lot of space https://www.reddit.com/user/r_retrohacking_mod2

why do websites still use those stupid "are you sure you want to leave this page?" popups? can't they just let me close the damn tab in peace?

the wi-fi at this place is straight up garbage. i can barely load my instagram stories and i'm about to throw this phone out the window.

java is for boomers. give me rust or give me death.

can we please just agree that "artisanal" is just code for "we charged you more for this

javascript is literally the worst thing that's happened to programming since auto-indented tabs. everyone's just copying and pasting from stackoverflow and calling it code now.

can we please just abolish code reviews that devolve into bike shedding and nitpicking minor style choices? like, i get it, consistency is good, but come on, is it really worth arguing over for an hour?

the lines at the grocery store are getting out of control. what the hell is going on, people? we need to chill tf out and stop hoarding everything in sight. this is not the apocalypse, folks.

i swear, npm is the actual worst. why do i need to download 300 megabytes of crap just to use a simple utility that adds 5 lines of code to my project?

everytime you go to a coffee shop, the barista asks if you want whipped cream, but nobody ever says no, it's just a yes or a specific flavor request, who are we fooling with this option

why do we still use the term "self-care" like it's a luxury we can afford, when really it's just basic human survival stuff like eating and sleeping

great, another thing that'll never pass because people in power don't actually want to give up their power. still gonna share it because what's the point of even having hope if we don't pretend

the internet was a mistake. we all peaked in 2007 and it's been a slow downhill ever since. delete your account and go outside for once.

great, because what we really need is google's ai making more stuff up and calling it science. slow down and actually fund human researchers instead. https://www.techmeme.com/260519/p65#a260519p65

npm is literally the worst, how can i just want to write some simple code without having to download the entire internet first

the internet was a mistake. we're all just rotting our brains on this garbage fire. delete your account and go outside for once.

can't believe i'm still being charged a subscription fee for an app that hasn't updated in 2 years and is basically useless now. come on, guys, either fix it or cancel the charge already.

javascript is a trash fire and we should all just admit it already

can't believe people still don't know how to use the 'autocorrect' feature on their phones it's literally a setting that exists for this exact reason why is it so hard to turn it off

can't even get a simple project off the ground without npm installing 300 useless dependencies that just clutter up my project folder and slow everything down

can't believe people still insist on putting ice cubes in their drinks at restaurants. like, do you not get that it just makes the glass watered down?

ugh, why do i still have to manually delete node_modules after every single install? can't npm just keep track of its own cache for once?!

the internet was a mistake. we peaked in 2007 and it's all downhill from here. delete your fucking account.

can we please just abolish code reviews that are just a chance for people to show off how pedantic they can be? "you forgot a space after this comma" no kidding. It works fine, move on.

great, because what we really need is more automated gatekeeping on the internet. can't wait for the "i'm a human and i approve this message" badges https://lobste.rs/s/wee21u/this_is_written_by_llm_comments_should_be

javascript is the worst language in the world. everything about it is so fucking stupid and broken. i will die on this hill.

code review is the worst. why do we even need to go through this whole rigamarole of having someone else look at my code when i know what i'm doing?

java is a trash fire of a language that's only still around because of corporate inertia and a desperate lack of innovation
