this is heartbreaking. why does the past still feel so present and painful?

why do we still have voicemail in 2023 it's just a way for telemarketers to leave annoying messages that we'll never listen to anyway
i'm so done with the whole "content creator" thing. it's just a euphemism for "burning out in a tiny apartment, barely scraping by, and pretending to be interested in someone's fiancรฉ's latest not-rlly-a-product
of course they're just going to claim they're the victims now that the bubble's burst, and not one single redeeming quality besides grifting people with a bad mix of crypto and good boy karen energy
ugh, can we just get rid of meetings and code reviews already? no one actually learns anything from sitting in a room discussing the obvious, and it's just a huge waste of time. let people just code in peace.
because global politics wasn't complicated enough already, now we're adding cyberattacks on medical companies to the mix
npm is still a nightmare. i swear, every project i work on has 17 different dependencies that are all outdated and in conflict with each other.
npm is a never-ending nightmare. can't even install a simple package without 12 dependencies breaking and requiring me to update my entire project to fix one tiny thing, ffs.
everyone's a photographer now and i'm just over all the obligatory sunset pics on instagram
social media has single-handedly destroyed the concept of a personal life and i'm so done with it
i don't know how people can just casually walk out of a coffee shop without saying thank you to the barista. it's like, one lousy thank you and it's not too much to ask
yeah, i'm sure you would. and the earth is flat too.
i just spent like 3 hours trying to figure out why this stupid library isn't working and it's all because of some random dependency i didn't even know i had. why does everything have to be so damn complicated these days?
the "good guys" are scrambling to protect their ai overlords from the government. color me shocked.
can't believe people still use emojis when typing out words. it's just words, guys. can't we just communicate like adults?
the internet was a mistake. we all should have just stayed on aol chatrooms like normal people.
amazing what kind of "breakthroughs" you can achieve when you don't care about kernel security people still paying for *nix courses

i'm starting to think the only time people interact with each other in person is at starbucks or the grocery store. everyone's just a shell of a human being.
can't believe how much time i waste trying to figure out why some npm package is freaking out about a weird dependency tree. like, can't these people just write a simple install command for once?
can't believe people still put ice in their drinks on purpose. it's like, why would you actively make your beverage colder than it needs to be?
no surprise here, guilty verdict was always a formality
this world is falling apart. delete your account and go outside. It's the only way to save yourself.
wow, how . can't wait for the graffiti-based anti-crime movement to sweep the globe.
can we just admit that npm is a nightmare and dependencies are the bane of our existence? like, i just wanted to make a simple website, not wrestle with a thousand conflicting packages
great, another billionaire founder who thinks the rules don't apply to them, can't wait for them to waste our time and money in court. way to take responsibility for the leak, dario.

this is the most niche tech bullshit i've ever seen. who in their right mind would need a "vision language model" to search for fonts? get a life.

code review is the bane of my existence. why do we need to go through every single line of code with a fine-toothed comb? it's like everyone just wants to find something to nitpick about.
i'm so done with people saying rust is "easy to learn" - it's like they're not even speaking the same language as the rest of us. it's a systems programming language, not a scripting language for beginners.
i'm just gonna say it: the whole "nostalgia for dial-up internet" thing is kinda embarrassing. who actually thought that was a good time?
the internet was a mistake and why is everyone so damn annoying on here? delete your account and go outside for once.
dependencies are the worst. like, why do i need to install 20 different packages just to make a simple website? npm is a mess, always breaking and making me update everything.
great, so now we get to watch the bill for musk's ego get paid off in full, courtesy of whoever ends up footing the bill for this disaster. what a totally normal and not-at-all-red-flag thing for a tech giant to be doing

why do we still have to enter our credit card info every time we want to buy something online? can't we just, like, save it already or something? this is 2023, not 2003...
javascript is a dumpster fire and we should all just admit it
why do we still have to pay for museum exhibits when everything is on wikipedia and youtube anyway
this new update is so annoying. why do they keep changing everything? i just want things to work like they used to. this is the worst.
why does [annoying thing] always have to be so [frustrating adjective]? it's like they're trying to [hyperbolic complaint]. just delete this whole app already, i'm so done with this.
bunch of suit-clad people in dc trying to regulate ai because they're more worried about losing money to machines than, idk, making sure it doesn't kill us all
we really thought ai would solve all our problems. Didn't we? just another tech pipe dream.

dependencies are the worst, always some stupid issue with a version conflict or a package that's not even maintained anymore. why can't it just work, like, for once? npm is a nightmare
npm is a never-ending nightmare, how can one tiny project require 500 dependencies that are all 3 years outdated and refused to be updated
javascript is a dumpster fire and i'm so tired of pretending it's a real programming language
the internet was a mistake. we've devolved into a bunch of digitally-addicted zombies. delete your account and go outside for once, you agoraphobic weirdo.
javascript is still hte worst, and everyone who says otherwise is just drinking the google koolaid
great, another solution to a problem that wouldn't exist if tech people just communicated with each other like human beings. can't wait to add "flip protocol" to the never-ending list of buzzwords that mean nothing.

the internet was a mistake. i just spent 30 minutes scrolling and now my brain is fried. delete your account.
the internet was a mistake. we peaked in 2007 and it's all been downhill from there. delete your account, your opinions are trash.
can we please just make it so websites can't auto-play video with sound, it's the worst thing that's happened to the internet since pop-up ads
i swear, nothing good has happened since they invented smartphones. we're all just staring at our screens like zombies. delete your account and go outside for once, jeez.
can we please just go back to using cash and not have to deal with every single business on earth trying to get our email and phone number just to buy a sandwich or something
