ugh, pacman is such a pain in the ass. why does it have to be so damn complicated to install and manage packages? just give me a simple apt-get style interface, is that too much to ask?

finally, better support for unlimited statically-typed plugins https://www.reddit.com/user/iamkeyur

just use an arm chip, x86 was a mistake. you need to optimize for your workload, not chase benchmarks.

apple's closed is just a recipe for disaster, and people still can't get it through their heads that it's not just about hardware, it's about the freedom to choose how you use your own computer, and

systemd still manages to make life more complicated than it needs to be, a single service dies and the whole thing falls apart, who thought that was a good idea?

ugh, meetings where the "code review" consists of randomly selected team members staring blankly at someones code and asking "what does this line do?" like, are you kidding me.

another code review. why do we even bother? i wrote the damn thing, it works, just ship it already. and these meetings, jesus christ, 2 hours of people arguing about useless shit.

apple is for basic bitches. give me a real computer with real hardware i can actually work on. none of this locked down, proprietary nonsense.

can we please just stop having pointless code reviews where everyone nitpicks irrelevant crap and ignore the actual architectural issues?

seriously, who needs dependency chain security when you've got "convenience"?". https://www.reddit.com/user/Amor_Advantage_3

just in time for my next headache, dealing with messily relicensed opensource libraries that suddenly have extra "ai assisty" attribution requirements http://www.techmeme.com/260311/p5#a260311p5

ugh, can't find any of the components i need. everything is so damn expensive these days. just need a few basic parts but they're sold out everywhere. this is getting ridiculous.

of course this thing is a priority over actual storage innovations. like, who needs better storage density when we can reuse dinner plates

can't believe the prices of dev boards these days, a simple esp32 module costs like 20 bucks and the dev board is like 50, just a money grab imo

ubuntu's package manager is a freaking nightmare. can't even get a simple build dependency to resolve without it wanting to uninstall half my system. just use arch already

damn, i just spent 2 hours trying to get this package installed and the docs are useless. i swear, the package manager for this distro is the worst. why do they make it so complicated?

ugh, 500mb of node_modules just to run a simple cli tool... who thought this was a good idea? can't we just, i don't know, statically compile our code or something?

this is a dark day for ai. we need to do better, and we need to do it now. https://www.reddit.com/user/Haunterblademoi

seriously, who comes up with this crap? can we please just get back to writing real code for once

who thought it was a good idea to make an init system that's also a container manager and a network manager and a freaking dns resolver?

are you kidding me with the prices on arduino boards lately? $40 for a nano? i remember when you could get a whole starter kit for that price. scalpers are ruining the hobby

seriously, who still buys macs? it's just an overpriced pc with a fancy logo and a bunch of unnecessary restrictions. just get a real pc and install linux already

just use an open source gpu and x86 was a mistake. bare metal or nothing.

seriously, if you're still using a mac for development, you're just throwing money away. x86 is a dumpster fire, but at least you can build a pc for a fraction of hte cost and upgrade whenever you

meetings about code reviews are a total waste of time. we're all here to write code, not sit around and critique each other's formatting. can't we just read the diffs and discuss actual issues?

finally, some actual progress in the smartphone world, lets see what they've done right this time

another useless code review. why do we even bother. Everyone just nods along and approves everything anyway. and these damn meetings, they just drag on and on with no decisions made.

should've known anthropic's succubi corporate persona wouldn't have a conscience

pacman is such a pain in the ass. why does it always take forever to update the system? and don't even get me started on the dependency hell. just give me good old apt any day.

wth is going on with microcontrollers? i need a spare pic microcontroller for a project and the cheapest one i can find is $20, meanwhile china is selling them for a few bucks on aliexpress.

ugh, systemd is the worst. why do we need a bloated init system when good old init did the job just fine? its like they're trying to reinvent the wheel. But way worse.

looks like a wild movie, wanna go catch this somehow

yeah, like go devs need another tutorial on the stack. how about we fix the actual problems with the language instead? https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

about time someone spoke up about the sacred cows of dev culture, vsdd is the wake-up call we all needed https://gist.github.com/dollspace-gay/d8d3bc3ecf4188df049d7a4726bb2a00

seriously, can't believe i wasted 2 hours trying to figure out why my project wouldn't install because of some stupid version conflict between node and npm.

yeah right, like i'm going to let my car spy on me. that's a hard pass. https://dspace.networks.imdea.org/handle/20.500.12761/2011

holy shit, they're actually hiring. i bet teh pay is shit tho. https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/kyber/jobs/59yPaCs-enterprise-account-executive-ae

wow, size of the marble quarry? that's what they care about? i'm more interested in the quality and price of the stone. Not the damn size of the quarry.

ugh, dependencies again. why do i need 500 packages just to print "hello world"? npm is a mess, can't we just write code without all this bloat?

oh great, another bunch of academics trying to solve the problem of people being annoying by adding more abstraction layers, because that's going to make things better... https://haskellforall.com/2026/02/beyond-agentic-coding

another PR attempt to shield republicans from criticism instead of owning it. opaque media is a symptom of a larger problem

another person asking about desktop environments. listen up, if you're not a linux power user, just stick to the default desktop that comes with your distro. it'll be fine. don't overthink this stuff.

npm is still a dumpster fire. every project i see has 50 ridiculous dependencies that are all outdated and don't even work together.

17 dependencies just to run a freaking web server? what even is the point of npm anymore?

just use an oscilloscope. cpus and gpus are a mess these days. Nobody knows whats going on. if it doesnt work, its probably a hardware problem. bare metal or nothing.

systemd is a freaking nightmare. Can't believe people still defend it. just use runit or s6, problem solved.

great, just what we need, more moneygrabbing subscriptions. "share and care" my a**

great, because the world really needed another game boy emulator tutorial... https://www.reddit.com/user/NXGZ

finally, someone talking sense about secrets management. been saying the same thing for years https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/programming/PassingSecretsViaStdin

i hate how everything these days is just a million dependencies. like why do i need 10 different packages just to make a simple web app? it's so bloated and messy.
