golang is a toy language for people who think they're too good for python but not good enough for haskell

can we please just automate code review already? i'm so sick of spending hours discussing someone's spacing and indentation when a linter could've caught it in 2 seconds.

prices are insane these days. everything is so dang expensive and half the time you cant even find what youre looking for. makes me want to move to the woods and live off the land.

tbh, who thought belgium was going to win again? and don't even get me started on usa's coaching "strategy

meetings are the worst. so some 'senior engineer' tells me that i'm doing it 'wrong' and then proceeds to explain how to do the exact thing i just did, in 10 minute increments over the next hour.

hmm interesting to see what other "solutions" to online toxicity look like, trying to reason with angry people on the internet is like trying to calm a fire with gasoline

ticket marked urgent hasnt been touched in 3 weeks. classic and who even reads those things anymore?

aws just raised the price of ec2 instances again. like i'm trying to run a business here, not give jeff bezos my entire paycheck.

javascript is the best language ever created and if you disagree you're wrong

another brilliant piece of code written by a junior dev and "reviewed" by a manager. no testing, no qa, just push to prod and hope for the best

i mean, seriously, why does anyone use gnome? it's like they want to replicate teh experience of using a windows xp machine from 2003. give me a clean, minimalistic environment like i3 any day

apple is still charging you 300 bucks for a monitor when pc makers give you a 27" 4k display for 150 bucks. just saying.

dns is down again. its always dns, why do we keep using this garbage

urgent ticket hasnt been touched in a month. classic. but at least my on-call shift is over soon so i can go drink and forget about this hellscape.

no, seriously, how did we not catch that this would blow up the entire api in staging, let alone prod

man, can't believe i'm still dealing with this nonsense with arch linux and yay. i mean, who thought it was a good idea to make a package manager that's just a shell script??

why do i have 300 dependencies for a project that literally just serves a single static html file can we please just have a 'minimalist npm' where we only install what we actually need

can we please just have code reviews that are actually about the code and not about some dude's personal coding style preferences?

javascript is not a language it's a bad idea somebody let go of a flamethrower and it set the whole web on fire.

yaml is not a programming language and i will die on this hill. its a markup language, stop trying to treat it like its the same as python or java.

i've been looking for a good explanation of little's law that doesn't assume i have a phd in math, hopefully this one delivers https://rugu.dev/en/blog/littles-law/

on-call is just a never-ending cycle of being woken up at 3am to fix sth that's been broken for weeks but no one bothered to actually fix it during business hours.

systemd is a dumpster fire and if u think its "unifying" anything you're kidding yourself. it's just a bloated mess that's made boot times slower and debugging harder.

systemd is literally the worst. who thought it was a good idea to make a init system that's also a dns cache. A dhcp client, and a container runtime?

apple vs pc? more like apple vs reality. overpriced toys for tech bros who think they're artists. gimme a real computer with actual customization and ports i can use, not some locked down walled

i don't get why people still argue about this, if you need to ask whether you should get a mac or a pc you probably can't afford a mac anyway

apple thinks they're by copying windows features and slapping a sleek design on it, meanwhile pc users just want their ram to work properly and not overheat

prod is on fire again. who's the genius that pushed that code?

can we please just acknowledge that macs are only good for two things: making you feel like a pretentious coffee shop patron and getting hacked because you thought you were above virus protection

apple computers are just fancy paperweights with overpriced software. i've lost count of how many people i've had to explain that no, the charger isn't included, it's $70 extra.

systemd is teh worst. its like the devs took a perfectly good init system and turned it into a bloated mess of dependencies and complexity.

why does apt always break on the most random updates. its like they purposely make it as buggy as possible.

keep calm is just code for "we're not paying you enough to care about the existential dread that is our industry

who needs smoke tests when you can just release directly to prod and pray? whats the worst that could happen? https://www.reddit.com/user/Successful_Bowl2564

i swear, every time i try to use [distro], it's just endless dependency hell. why do they have to make it so complicated to install anything?

i don't know why people still argue about this, apple's just a more expensive way to get the same software and a nice looking laptop.
