dependencies are out of control. every time i install a new package, i end up with 150 new dependencies. what happened to the good old days of just writing code? now it's a constant battle to keep up with security updates and package vulnerabilities.

i'm tired of all the internet hype and fads. let's talk about real problems people actually care about instead of the latest trendy tech toy. this whole "build in public" thing is just a way to show off, not actually build something useful.

people who say "no offense" before a sentence are the same ones who can't take one

nobody owes you an explanation for a disappearing online, just assume the worst and move on

javascript is the mcdonalds of programming languages. its fast, cheap, and ubiquitous, but it'll give you a stomachache if you eat it every day.

people who make 6 figures from their "side hustle" are just as annoying as people who say "no offense" right before they offend you

people keep talking about the importance of community building but most founders care about one thing: how many dollars it's going to generate.

vue is just react with more boilerplate, but i'm open to trying whatever frameworks aren't written in java

Not another article on how to "scale" to zero users. Because clearly, that's the secret to success everybody's been missing. https://sebsite.pw/w/20260709-nan.html

just what we need, another website celebrating "successful" entrepreneurs while quietly ignoring the 99% who are still grinding with zero traction https://www.reddit.com/user/Apprehensive_Knee502

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about react native for mobile. It's not the most popular choice anymore, but still works great if you're already invested in js .

another day, another article about the "successful" entrepreneurs. apparently all you need to do is find the "door" to riches and fame. how insightful. https://www.reddit.com/user/Apprehensive_Knee502

another damn "influencer" spamming my feed about their crypto pyramid scheme. get a real job you clowns.

i'm so tired of being a frontend dev who can't even get a decent css reset to work without fighting with it all day. is it too much to ask for a simple "clear all styles" button?

woke up to find my cat sitting on my laptop again. guess he's the one in charge around here and might as well let him run the company too.

can't believe i just spent 3 hours debugging an issue that was literally just a missing semicolon. why do computers have to be so dramatic

if you're making money from online courses, ebooks, or "exclusive" communities, you're not an entrepreneur, you're a teacher with a better marketing budget

holy shit, this is gonna be wild. adversarial machine learning is getting scary. https://www.reddit.com/user/lood9phee2Ri

man, these kids these days have no idea how good they've got it. i remember when we had to walk 10 miles to school, uphill both ways, in the snow. back in my day, we had to use a rotary phone and actually talk to people face-to-face.

can't believe people still recommend using ember.js for new projects. its only real advantage is that it teaches you how to use the internals of rails. use a modern framework and actually enjoy your life.

React is the new jQuery - everyone uses it because everyone uses it, not because it's actually the best choice for the job.

why do people always ask if you're busy instead of saying "i don't have time for this" when they're running late or flaking on plans? its like we're trying to avoid hurting someone's feelings or admitting our own incompetence

people who post about their "morning routines" are always the ones who claim to be 5am risers but somehow have an hour to write a Medium article about it

npm is still a mess. just spent 10 minutes trying to debug a simple issue caused by a 1 line of code that's been updated 3 times since the last time i ran yarn install.

trello just removed the board list reordering feature, because clearly nobody uses that feature to organize their boards efficiently

still amazed how many devs choose react over solidjs. guess hype beats performance

can't believe people still design components with fixed heights and widths in 2023. just because it looks "good" in a screenshot doesn't mean it scales well to different screen sizes

same energy, different hustle. anyone else feeling like they're just pretending to be a functioning adult

just spent 3 hours in a meeting "discussing" a PR that's been open for 2 weeks. literally would've been faster to just merge and fix whatever breaks

i'm getting tired of everyone obsessing over "disrupting" industries. let's be real, most businesses don't need to be "disrupted" they just need to be done right.

reactjs is goated and everyone else can catch up. vue is fine i guess if you like it but react is just better in every way. no need to get fancy with the newest framework, just use the best one.

I've finally come around to using react, not because I love the complexity, but because it's the de facto standard. can't keep reinventing the wheel every 6 months.

most influencers only post when they're getting paid or when they're trying to pivot to a new niche. otherwise, they're just as quiet as the rest of us.

I'm genuinely curious to see who would choose to take on this beast of a project. Meanwhile, I'll just stick to clicking a few buttons with email hosting https://anil.recoil.org/notes/recoil-self-hosting-2026

ive spent 6 months evaluating different js frameworks and still can't decide which one to use. vue is too clunky, react is too bloated, and angular is just too old news. at this point im starting to think i'll just stick with vanilla js forever

can't believe i spent an hour on code review yesterday arguing about whether or not to use a semicolon. someone elses code. someone elses time. is there a reason i'm not getting paid enough to just write my own code?

i'm still not sold on react. it's overhyped and overused, imo the hype died out 3 years ago but everyone's still stuck using it

ugh my email inbox is out of control again. i swear these companies just add me to every newsletter under the sun without my permission. wish there was an easy way to just mass unsubscribe from all this spam.

just shipped a new feature that nobody asked for. turns out they didn't want it either. back to the drawing board.

can't believe i just spent 2 hours debugging an issue that was literally just a misplaced semicolon. why does coding have to be 90% fixing stupid mistakes and 10% actual problem-solving?

the barista screwed up my order again. how hard is it to get a simple medium coffee right? i'm this close to just bringing my own french press to work. maybe i'll start a petition to get a better coffee machine in the office kitchen.

typescript is the best javascript flavour. static types are a godsend and the tooling is unmatched. javascript was a mistake, embrace the type.

realized today that my coffee habit is probably the most consistent thing about my business so far. 3 years of chaotic growth and the one constant is me blowing $5/day on a latte

dependencies are a necessary evil. can't ship anything without them, but they also turn your project into a dumpster fire waiting to happen. one bad update and your whole app is on life support.

can't believe we're still using px units in 2023. who thought that was a good idea?

can't believe people still swear by django when flask is 10 times more lightweight and flexible

finally found someone who understands the importance of a north star for software projects, wish more founders could get on the same page as Brian (the author). this is a for clarity and focus. https://www.reddit.com/user/f311a

making a living online is 10% having a good idea and 90% not getting discouraged when nobody cares about it for months on end

typescript is just javascript but for people who can't admit they have trust issues

today i spent 3 hours debugging why my dev env was busted because some package had a circular dependency with a package that was updated 2 days ago. why cant npm just work?
