because nothing says "innovation" like settling for a 30-year-old dbms.

javascript is a garbage fire and i'll die on this hill. it's like they designed it to be as confusing and inconsistent as possible.
code review is the worst. it takes forever and my teammates always nitpick the smallest things. like, who cares if i use tabs instead of spaces?! it's not going to break the whole damn app.
can we please just abolish code reviews and meetings already? they're just excuses for people to stroke their own egos and pretend to care about the project.
about time someone made a decent offline map app

can we please just abolish small talk at this point, it's so obviously a social construct designed to make us all feel like we're going insane, just let me order my coffee in peace
can we please just have one day where no one asks me to "reach out" to anyone about anything? like, just say "call me" or "email me" and spare me the vague corporate jargon, thanks
the internet was a mistake. we should all just go back to carrier pigeons.
ugh, why do people always leave their shopping carts in hte middle of the parking lot? pick a spot and put that thing away, it's not that hard. what is wrong with people these days?
why do all modern projects still rely on having a zillion dependencies installed with npm? can't we just have a simple "hello world" again without having to solve a hundred permission errors?
omg who comes up with this stuff? i need to read this just to see if it's as insane as the title suggests

we really do live in the dumbest timeline huh
the internet was a mistake. we should all just go back to living in the woods.
code reviews are just a way for people to anonymously trash your work and make you feel like a total idiot, can we just have actual human conversations instead of hiding behind github comments
are you kidding me with this headline? that's not how the law works, you idiots
javascript is overrated. all those frameworks and libraries just make it more bloated. give me a good old-fashioned html/css/vanilla js any day. keep it simple, stupid.
how is it that people can spend hours choosing what to eat for lunch, but can't be bothered to learn the basics of personal finance? like, come on.
can't believe people still use the phrase "no cap" like it's a thing. it's just "no lie" or "no joke" or just shut up and say what you mean. stop trying to be cool.
because what i really need to spend my time on is optimizing my apache kafka pipelines

have you noticed how everyone's a photographer now? like, i'm walking down the street and 90% of the people around me are staring at their phones, taking pics of stuff that's literally 2 feet away from them.
why do people still wear those little earbuds with the cord when wireless ones have been a thing for like 5 years now
the rich really can't get enough, can they? maybe they should focus on not exploiting people for profits instead.
because what every woman wants is to be a checklist of perfect qualities, complete with cute infographics and a warning sign for all the "defective" ones
no one actually uses the internet for "research" anymore, we're all just searching for memes and memes are the new encyclopedias anyway
the internet was a mistake. we should've just stuck with carrier pigeons.
javascript is a dumpster fire and i don't understand why we're still using it
this is so dumb, another article about the gender pay gap in sports like we need a reminder of the patriarchy
i swear, the worst thing that happened to us was getting rid of dial-up internet. it was a hassle, but at least we had to pay attention to the connection and didn't just mindlessly scroll through our feeds all day.
another day, another example of how easily "ai" can be gamed by people with enough money and motivation. what a joke
social media is just a never-ending parade of people pretending to be interesting and it's exhausting
javascript is a dumpster fire and i'll die on this hill. how did we let this mess of a language become so ubiquitous? it's like the tech world collectively said "you know what would be great?
this new "feature" is the worst. who even asked for this? just make it stop already, it's so annoying. just delete the whole thing, the internet was a mistake anyway.
can we please make it a law that if you're gonna play music on public transportation you have to wear headphones or get off the damn bus
meetings are just code review in real-time but without the chance to actually fix the broken code. people just tell you what's wrong with it and then everyone moves on to the next thing.
ugh, why do i still have to manually delete node_modules and reinstall all my deps every time i make a change to my project? is this 2023 or what?
can't we just talk to each other in person instead of circling back in code review and then having a pointless meeting to discuss it anyway?
why do restaurants still put ice in every glass of tap water? can't they just trust that people will drink the water and not need it to be frozen? get with the times
great, just what we needed. more "research" from security experts to show us how they can break stuff we already knew was vulnerable.

ugh, can't stand all these dependencies these days. like, why do i need 50 different npm packages just to run a simple website? what happened to the good old days when you could just write some html and be done with it?
why do people think a 30 minute meeting is the same as 30 minutes of actual work? code reviews are especially bad, "can i just take a look" turns into 3 hours of me explaining basic concepts to someone who "just wants
great, just what we needed, more tech jargon and a title that reads like a coding fever dream.

javascript is the worst language ever created. it's so confusing and full of nonsensical quirks. i'd rather code in brainfuck than deal with that dumpster fire of a language ever again.
code review is the worst. i hate having to explain my code to a bunch of people who don't even know what they're looking at. and meetings? don't even get me started.
why do people still use java? like, i get it, it's familiar and all that, but have you seen the syntax? it's so clumsy. and don't even get me started on the garbage collection. kotlin is where it's at, folks.
npm is a never-ending nightmare of dependencies. why can't we just install a library without having to update every single other package in our project because of some minor change?
can't anyone else just turn off their airpods in public? it's not that hard to realize you're broadcasting your music to everyone around you
why do people still feel the need to wear "i'm with stupid" t-shirts? who even does that anymore? just be alone with your thoughts and feelings, you're not fooling anyone
javascript is a dumpster fire that's only still around because of browser vendors' inertia
the internet was a mistake and we all peaked in 2007. delete your account.
social media is garbage. why do we still use this? delete your account and go outside for once. this is all pointless.
