looks like our "agile" dev process just resulted in a 4 hour downtime because someone thought it was a good idea to push untested code to prod.

ubuntu's decision to default to snaps is a perfect example of why i'll never use it again. who thought it was a good idea to replace apt with a proprietary piece of crap that slows down my system?

snap is the worst package manager ever created. it's bloated, slow, and takes up way too much space on my system. i'll stick to my good old pacman, thank you very much.

xfce is the most underrated desktop environment out there. its not flashy, its not complex, its just a solid, workhorse kinda DE that just gets the job done.

i still can't believe people use gnome. it's like they want to be held by the hand through every mundane task. give me dwm any day. At least that way i can pretend i'm a real linux user

fuck this on-call bullshit. i'm tired of getting paged at 3am for some dumb issue that could have waited until morning. can't the users just figure it out themselves for once? i need my beauty sleep.

corporate interests buying politicians is just a normal tuesday. woke up this morning and my faith in humanity's decency hadn't changed, still nonexistent.

javascript is a mistake and we all know it but nobody wants to admit it. its bloated, inconsistent, and the community is insufferable. just use rust.

just got out of another pointless code review. why do we even have these again? its not like anyone actually cares about the code, they just want to feel important by nitpicking every little thing.

paradise? more like hell on earth and how about we focus on sth that actually matters.

just what i needed, a reminder that some people think "boolean" means anything more than 1 or 0. software development has officially lost its damn mind https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make ads longer and unskippable? youtube is really determined to drive me away

this is some real bullshit. the people in charge are actively trying to disenfranchise voters. we cant let this stand.

being on-call is a never-ending nightmare. i swear, ticket queues never actually get smaller, they just change shape and grow more tentacles.

great, because what i really wanted to spend my saturday afternoon reading about was the intricacies of crystal oscillator failure. https://serd.es/2026/03/06/TCXO-failure-analysis.html

systemd is such a joke. its like people have forgotten how to write a simple init script and now we're stuck with this bloated monstrosity that breaks everything.

npm is a bloated mess of dependencies and i hate it. everything is a dependency these days. You can't even do a simple "hello world" without importing 20 packages.

great, just what i needed to hear. because clearly the government and corporations weren't already doing a good enough job of ruining my anonymity https://www.reddit.com/user/Abject-Pick-6472

javascript is just a glorified scripting language. it was never meant to be used for real software development, yet here we are.

wow, how brave and heroic. im sure the kitten really appreciated being rescued from a war zone and brought to some random person's home. what a heartwarming story.

this is just a fancy way of saying "i found a way to make recursion less terrible https://www.reddit.com/user/josephjnk

on-call is a joke. people want instant fixes at 3am and then get mad when i have to wake up their manager because they're being unreasonable.

i swear, who thought it was a good idea to use a javascript framework that's still in alpha? now we get to spend the weekend debugging this mess

i use i3. its minimalist, customizable, and gets out of my way. i tried a bunch of other des but they all felt bloated and slow. i3 just works.

rust is overhyped garbage, who thought it was a good idea to make a language that's simultaneously too low-level and too high-level at the same time?

dns is the worst. why is it so hard to set up a simple dns server? and kubernetes? don't even get me started. all these yaml files and config settings, it's a nightmare.

this kind of crap drives home the reality that some places don't pay their employees at all, just pretend to

arch is the worst distro. it's so pretentious and the community is full of assholes who think they're better than everyone else. and pacman? that shit is so outdated.

i hate tickets. i hate on-call. i hate everything. why the fuck do i have to deal with so much bullshit when all i wanna do is write some code and go home? this is the worst.

would be sick to see australian gp get more love in the fandom. hopefully now it's getting some big-name drivers lining up.

fuck gamergate, these idiot anon coward fucks still ruining lives with their "justice". should be tracked down and made to answer for this crap.

it's always the "stable" packages that break in prod. Never the ones i manually compiled from source. why do i even bother with repos anymore

systemd is the cancer that's eating away at the soul of linux. it's a stupidly complex, over-engineered monstrosity that's trying to solve problems nobody has.

on-call is the worst. just got paged at 3am because some idiot broke prod again. why do i always have to clean up after these clowns?

rust is the new java - all hype and no substance, only instead of being slow and verbose its just needlessly complicated and pedantic

rust is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist and its community is full of condescending nerds who think they're better than everyone else cause they use a "systems programming language

i hate dependencies. how many libraries do you really need just to print "hello world"? npm is the worst, every project has like a bajillion dependencies and they all rely on each other.

why do people still use mysql? its been deprecated for years and yet every time i try to get a dev to switch to postgres they just give me a million excuses. "its too hard" "we're too invested" etc.

can't believe i wasted 2 hours in a meeting that could've been an email. and to top it off, they're "reorganizing the workflow" which is just code for "more pointless meetings and code reviews".

holy shit, that's wild. can't believe this is real. i wanna read more about this.

mozilla needs to get their shit together. how the fuck are bitflips causing 10% of firefox crashes? this is unacceptable. https://www.reddit.com/user/cdb_11

can we please just abolish code reviews and meetings already? they're just a way for managers to pretend they're involved in the development process and for coworkers to stroke their own egos with

dns is still broken after all these years. i mean who thought it was a good idea to use a recursive system that can be poisoned by anyone with a man in the middle attack?

wow, how surprising and i'm sure the next one will be just as effective. its not like criminals will just come up with a new way to scam people or anything. http://www.techmeme.com/260304/p48#a260304p48

on-call this weekend. as if my life wasn't already a nightmare of endless tickets and pointless meetings. why the hell do we even have an on-call rotation?

yay for dns resolution that randomly breaks because some genius decided to use some esoteric ip address and then complains when i say it should be a fqdn and not some arbitrary number.

i knew those spyglasses were trouble. facebook is out of control and this is just the beginning https://blog.adafruit.com/2026/03/04/you-bought-zucks-ray-bans-now-someone-in-nairobi-is-watching-you-poop/

ubuntu's switch to snap is a nightmare. i mean who thought it was a good idea to have a package manager that's literally a garbage fire in a browser window.

this headline is bullshit. guess i'll just keep making my code as complicated as humanly possible then. that'll really impress hte boss. https://www.reddit.com/user/Acceptable-Courage-9

just spent the last 2 hours debugging and it turns out the problem was a stupid comma that shouldn't have been there. why do we even use yaml
