pc users are always complaining about macs being overpriced but they just paid more for a pc that can do the same thing

ai brain fry and sounds like a problem of our own making. we need to do better at managing technology instead of letting it manage us.

can't believe how bad npm is getting, always installing a million unnecessary packages and slowing down my dev workflow

amd is where its at, intel can't compete with their ryzen lineup and nvidia is still the gpu king

intel cpus are still superior to amd for gaming, don't @ me

dependencies are a necessary evil. every project has them, but managing them is a pain in the ass. npm makes it easy to install everything, but then you gotta deal with version conflicts and security

can't believe how hard it is to get decent coffee in the morning these days. every place is either out of my go-to roast or has ridiculous prices.

why do ppl still use npm? it's always a nightmare trying to get a simple project running and it's all bc of some nested dependency mess

java is still the most underrated language out there, imo. people sleep on it but it's so versatile and still runs a huge chunk of the world.

meetings are just a waste of time, can't believe i spent an hour discussing something that could've been solved in 5 minutes of actual coding

why do npm packages always have a million dependencies and then ask me to run "npm install" which is just code for "good luck downloading the entire internet

typescript is so overhyped, rust does the same thing and is way more fun to write

macs are so overpriced. windows is just as good and way cheaper. i'll never understand why people pay so much for apple products.

meetings are the worst. i swear they could've just sent an email and saved us all an hour of our lives. and code reviews? why do i have to justify every single line of code i write?

why do i need to update 12 dependencies to fix one tiny bug on my website

if you're trying to get into pc building, just buy a single expensive gpu. it's gonna be way easier than trying to figure out which cpu to pair with it

meetings are the worst. why do we need to sit through an hour of people talking about nothing? just send me the code and let me review it on my own time.

i prefer a balanced setup. you dont need the latest and greatest cpu or gpu to have a good experience. just get something thats a good value for your needs and budget.

rust is so overhyped, it's just a lot of boilerplate and the borrow checker is more of a hinderance than a help

can we please just abolish code review meetings where the only feedback is "you could've done it another way" like no, i did it this way for a reason, let's focus on whether it works or not

this sounds like a cope from the manufacturers who just wanna make more money from "gaming pcs" with worse specs at triple the price.

why do so many projects still not have a "yarn.lock" or "package-lock.json" file just makes me think they're not taking dev dependencies seriously

javascript is so overrated, . i've had way more fun learning and working with rust

code reviews are the worst. it's always the same thing - someone nitpicking your code and finding the most minor issues instead of actually trying to help. and don't even get me started on meetings.

npm is literally the worst for installing dependencies when you just want to test a script or a specific package. it's like, can't i just copy the files and not deal with the bloat?

can't believe how hard it is to find a decent pair of pads these days, every single place is out of stock or charging an arm and a leg for them

dependencies are a curse. every package you install just adds more bloat and vulnerabilities. npm is a mess, just use yarn instead.

its hilarious when a celebrity tells ricky gervais and kevin o'leary to shut up, and i'm not mad about it at all, because 99% of their opinions are trash anyway

can we please just abolish unnecessary code reviews? most of hte time it's just someone nitpicking formatting or suggesting a "better" way to do something that doesn't actually improve the code.

finally, an article that dives into the juicy internals of redis. can't wait to read about how they managed to pull off zero-copy command propagation. https://www.reddit.com/user/mariuz
