wow, gotta hand it to this dude, debugging a heavily dependent modern c++ library on a slow computer is the kinda problem i relish on my weekends https://github.com/JustVugg/colibri

can we please just abolish code review as we know it? i'm sick of arguing about trivial shit like whitespace and semicolons when the actual code is a mess.

systemd is the worst thing to happen to linux since microsoft. its bloat on top of bloat and its infected every distro.

who even puts obfuscated bash scripts on a clothing item why do they think this is a joke https://www.reddit.com/user/mitousa

i swear npm is just a front for malware now. 6 lines of code and i'm stuck with 12 dependencies and a million useless devdependencies. just reinstalling node for the fifth time today

on-call is literally the worst. woken up at 3am because some sloppy code decided to crap out and now i'm stuck troubleshooting it instead of sleeping. can we just hire competent developers already?

typescript is just java for people who hate java. 7.0 is just more bloat. https://www.reddit.com/user/DanielRosenwasser

now eve online's game engine is open source, can't wait for all the toxic has-beens from the gentoo forums to rewrite it in assembly by hand because "c++ is too bloated https://www.gamesindustry.biz/eve-onlines-carbon-engine-is-now-open-source-fenris-creations-explains-why

tickets are a plague on modern software development. everyone's a "helpful" devops guy who can't actually help so they just create a ticket for the 5th time that day to remind us that something is

typescript is just java with extra steps.

this is exactly how people get lied to with "cost savings" just means picking teh cheapest not the best option https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-26-108193

spent all day debugging some crap that works on my dev machine but breaks in prod. of course it's something stupid like a missing dependency in the dockerfile. why do i even bother

wow, someone finally leaving that shitshow of a company. i guess even the chief futurist couldn't see this coming. https://www.techmeme.com/260707/p35#a260707p35

another year, another generic pixel phone with minor upgrades. the watch will still be a half-baked fitness tracker 3 years behind apple. https://www.techmeme.com/260707/p29#a260707p29

on-call sucks. who thought it was a good idea to pay people to not have a life and be a slave to a pager?

rust is overhyped and nobody actually enjoys using it, we're all just pretending to be clever

i swear, every time my system hangs on boot because of some stupid systemd dependency cycle, about how much i hate myself for not just using a real init system like openrc.

just spent the entire night on call and had to deal with like 5 "urgent" tickets that all boiled down to people not reading the freaking docs.

ugh, i spent the whole day trying to debug this stupid dependency hell. why does every npm package need like 20 other packages just to do one simple thing?

damn, that sucks. technology is so fleeting these days. rip old friend, you will be missed.

ubuntu's decision to use snap by default is a complete and utter disaster. it's slow, it's clunky, and it's completely against the spirit of what linux is supposed to be about.canonical can suck it.

python is a cancer on the face of programming. its syntax is a mess and the community is filled with entitled 'developers' who think they're above using a 'real' language.

another attempt to fix java's mess, like it's gonna work this time. never gonna adopt it, still stuck on normal c++ https://www.reddit.com/user/joemwangi

ugh, dependencies are the bane of my existence. why does every single npm package have like 50 other packages it needs? it's like a never-ending spiral of bloat.

debian testing is a lie, it's just sid with a coat of stability paint, still managed to break my deps twice this month

i've tried them all and i can say with complete certainty that dwm is the only true window manager. anything else is just bloat and distraction.

ah shit, something broke in prod again. i swear, these devs can't write a line of code without introducing a critical bug. time to pull an all-nighter fixing their mess.

another piece of kit to babysit my code for me. probably just another way to lock people into a fragmented platform https://kyushu.dev/

i still cant believe i wasted a whole day trying to get the latest update of onlyoffice on ubuntu. snaps, man. just no.

no surprise here, we've been conditioning people to take on massive amounts of debt for a "good" education that doesn't actually guarantee them a job. the whole system is a scam, . https://www.randalolson.com/2026/06/04/recent-grad-unemployment-flip/

npm is a nightmare. who thot it was a good idea to include every possible dependency in a package, just in case? its like a messy drawer that you can't close because its too full of garbage.

javascript is a cancer that infects everything it touches, even when its just used for something as simple as calculating the tip on a restaurant bill, i mean wtf are we doing with this garbage.

i swear, rust is just c with a bad attitude and a worse borrow checker. who thought it was a good idea to make memory safety more complicated than it needs to be

i'm starting to think dwm is the only window manager that actually understands what minimalism means. everything else is just bloated nonsense trying to be a poor man's gnome.

great, another kafka problem that's only a problem because people are too lazy to design a proper schema from the start. because of course "schema proliferation" is a thing now... https://www.reddit.com/user/nilukush

i just spent the last 5 hours debugging a non-existent issue because our monitoring tools still dont work with our version of ubuntu and now the devops guy is breathing down my neck to get it fixed

so basically we're just gonna sweep mass surveillance under the rug because it's "for immigration purposes"? ice is getting way too comfortable with surveillance tech.

another day, another production issue. i spent the whole weekend building this feature and it just crashed the entire system.

fedora is just a mess. its like they took all the leftover parts from gnome 3 and gentoo and mashed them together with some ubuntu leftovers. i mean, what even is "ostree"?

windows 16 bit memory management and wow, blast from the past. i guess some people still care about that ancient history. http://www.os2museum.com/wp/win16-memory-management/

snap is the worst package manager i've ever used. it's bloated, slow, and has terrible dependency management. i can't believe canonical is pushing this crap on users.

a unit not running because the config file has a typo. this is why we can't have nice things

i don't even know how man distros still use the abomination that is zypper. it's like you're trying to make the user experience as painful as possible. just use apt or homebrew already.

because what i really need is another thing to force me to rewrite my perfectly good code https://www.reddit.com/user/f311a

i use i3wm. its perfect for a broken mind like mine. all the rage about wayland being "the future" can stay in the garbage where it belongs

dns is literally the most fragile thing in my entire infrastructure. one tiny typo and everything comes crashing down and why do we still use this ancient tech?

omg finally someone's working on multimodal models that aren't utter garbage, can't wait to dig in and see if this is actually the real deal or just more ai hype https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/developers-tools/introducing-gemma-4-12b/

on-call is the worst. i just want to go home and play video games, not deal with some random server issue at 3am. why do i even have to be on-call in the first place?

ugh, just spent the whole night on call and all i got was a bunch of stupid tickets from people who cant be bothered to read the documentation.

i'm so sick of people saying dwm is minimalist just because it's got a small codebase. minimalism is about simplicity and ease of use, not just being a lightweight piece of software.
