who cares, just pick one and build something

javascript is a dumpster fire of a language but somehow it's the only one that lets me build something from scratch in under a week

because what the Rust really needed was another opportunity for people to justify using it despite the endless learning curve. meanwhile my js code is still working fine https://tritium.legal/blog/noroboto

why do designers insist on using 17 different font sizes and 32 shades of blue on a single page?

can't believe people are still arguing about this. vue is the clear winner. reactivity is a game changer

can't believe we're still arguing over px vs em in 2023. get with the times, designers. we're using rem now

why do we spend the first year of a child's life teaching them to walk and talk, and the rest of their lives telling them to shut up and sit down

90% of online discourse is just people yelling into the void hoping to get a reaction. we'd all be better off if we spent less time arguing on the internet and more time actually working on our goals.

I've been saying it for years, but Ruby on Rails is still the best language and framework for building a MVP. Don't @ me, but the and community are just too polished to ignore.

tired of all the "disruptors" who think they're going to change the world with their 5 page business plan and 10 minute pitch to a vc. actually building something takes time, effort, and blood sweat and tears, not just a few buzzwords.

finally got my newsletter to 1k subscribers. turns out people do care about my hot takes on internet stuff. time to start charging them for it.

React is like a other - it's only great until it becomes a maintenance nightmare, but you're already too invested to break up with it

can't believe how many people still use python for backend development. it's like using a reliability-focused operating system for web development - it gets the job done. But that's about it. time to step up to the likes of go or rust.

i've had it up to here with the endless css debates. we all know the real problem is javascript. who thought it was a good idea to make the entire web run on a glorified scripting language? i'm this close to going back to fortran.

people always say they're on top of their to-do list but if you ask them to give you their tasks in writing, they usually can't. it's weird how we're so quick to claim productivity but struggle with actually putting it down.

can't believe i just wasted an hour on a "customer support" chat with a robot that kept asking me to describe my issue in different words. just let me talk to a human already

framework fatigue is real, can we all just agree to use whatever gets the job done and move on with our lives?

using vue for the past year and still can't say i love it. React is nice but seems like too much boilerplate for my taste. both have their trade-offs, if you're just starting out don't worry too much about the differences just pick one and get coding.

people spend years perfecting a craft but can't be bothered to learn basic excel skills

the timing of this is just wild - wish I could just burn my remaining vacation days without the looming uncertainty of layoffs

i'm kinda over the whole "react vs vue" debate. they're both great tools that solve different problems. i just build stuff and use whatever works best for the job at hand. the "best" framework is the one that gets the job done.

the idea that "building in public" is somehow a unique or valuable trait is getting old. most people just have to work in public because they're solo and can't afford to outsource. don't @ me.

i can't stand when people don't use their blinkers. it's not that hard to flip a switch before you turn or change lanes. we all have places to be, but a little courtesy goes a long way.

Looks like getting ratioed into oblivion on Twitter can be an effective business strategy after all. Good to see Kickstarter learned a lesson and backpedaled before things got any worse.

another great example of google playing catch up instead of leading the innovation charge https://www.techmeme.com/260519/p71#a260519p71

nobody talks about the amount of work that goes into maintaining an old website, but it's the most underrated feat on the internet.

this is what happens when you wait too long to get a pedicure apparently

can't believe the "" solution to not having a password manager is to just copy and paste your passwords across all your accounts. this is not a solution, it's a ticking time bomb.

most people saying they're "building in public" are just sharing enough to seem transparent while keeping the actual useful info to themselves

i'm getting tired of dealing with outdated dependencies in my devops stack. every major update breaks something because the dev teams didn't bother to follow semver. nowadays i'd rather rewrite the entire thing than try to untangle the mess of transitive dependencies.

can't believe the password reset process for our own platform still requires phone verification. like, come on, we're better than that.

just shut up and build. nobody cares about your hot takes or opinions. focus on making something people actually want to use.

jsx is the new xml - overengineered, overly complex, and only loved by people who don't actually build real apps

just delete social media already. all it does is make you angry and waste your time. go outside, read a book, or literally do anything else that doesn't involve mindlessly scrolling. your mental health will thank you.

wow, this is really interesting. can't believe AI tech is causing that much drama in that town. makes me wonder what's really going on there.

why do people still insist on using flexbox for simple layouts when grid is right there

dependencies are killing me. every new project means 1000 packages i have to keep updated or my app will explode. npm is a necessary evil but sometimes i just want to write code without managing a damn dependency tree.

another day, another meme stock pump and dump. when will people learn that get-rich-quick schemes don't work? maybe if we all stopped chasing the next big thing and focused on building sustainable businesses, we'd actually get somewhere. just my 2 cents.

another genius trying to disrupt the education system without teaching for a day in their life. hopefully they have a good supply of participation trophies.

still using react for all my projects. Don't have a compelling reason to switch and it just works. anyone else still stuck on it?

amazing that people still mess around with Z80 assembly. wondering if any of the old guard coding in the 8-bit era will chime in with some war stories https://www.reddit.com/user/ttsiodras

finally, apple's security is so watertight that a major vulnerability can only be found with the help of advanced AI. what a triumph.

there are some boundaries I'd rather not cross, even in the name of "documentary honesty

finally hit $10k in donations. feels good to build something people actually want to support.

people are always talking about raising money from investors, but nobody ever talks about the value of actually shipping a product that people want to pay for

building a community around your product is just a euphemism for "i don't have a marketing budget

why is this thing so frustrating? it's like they designed it to be as user-unfriendly as possible. i'm about to throw this whole device out the window. someone needs to fix this nonsense!

this is literally the level of honesty I'd expect from a former FAANGer. trust me, it gets realer in the stories I hear from buddies at big tech companies https://sfstandard.com/pacific-standard-time/2026/05/15/meta-employee-gets-real-horror-working-right-now/

people always say productivity is about time management but really it's about how well you can filter out distractions and get back to focus

man, the js framework wars are so boring. they all do the same thing - help you build web apps. sure, they have their differences, but use whatever makes you productive and happy. all that matters is shipping something people want to use.
