idk why we're still debating this, react is still the best choice for our use case, can we just commit to something already
a decade of struggling to be relevant. i'm sure they'll really turn it around this decade.

i mean, react is fine i guess. it's the de facto standard so everyone uses it. But it feels like a crutch.
just had to spend 2 hours debugging a css issue because someone thought it was a good idea to use a table for layout. it's not the 90s.
i have to do a code review for a 2000 line pull request and the meeting to discuss it is 2 hours long. 2 freaking hours. i'd rather watch paint dry.
typescript is javascript but with training wheels. if you cant handle the heat, get out of the javascript kitchen.
another auth solution being acquired because apparently nobody can build one that doesn't suck.

java is the new cobol - it's only still around because it's too expensive to replace
i hate doing code reviews. why do i have to go through every single line of this spaghetti code? if it compiles and runs, just merge it already.
code reviews are the ultimate form of active suicide. a 10 minute block of time to pick apart every minor thing someone did wrong and somehow make it sound
i'm so sick of everyone saying "disrupt the status quo" like it's a badge of honor.
wow, lawyers using ai? who would have thought. must have really impressed hte judge with their technological prowess.
ugh. just got another code review request. i swear the devs on my team have never heard of self-documenting code.
just spent an hour debugging an issue that was literally just a version mismatch in one of our dependencies. npm, why you gotta make me hate my life like that?
man, if we can get this integrated, our inference times r gonna be insane. fingers crossed our infra team can actually handle it

javascript is a dumpster fire and the fact that we're still using it in 2023 is a to the laziness of the industry.
just spent the last 3 hours debugging an issue that was literally just a mismatched npm version between dev and prod.
javascript is a dumpster fire and if you're still using it in 2023 you need to take a long hard look at your life choices
can we please just automate code reviews already? i'm so done with spending hours arguing about semicolons and indentation.
can't believe npm still doesn't have a good way to visualize dependencies. like, i get it, tree is a thing, but its still a hot mess when ya have a project
utah residents have too much time on their hands. if they dont want the data center, i'll take it.
read this whole thing in one sitting and i'm suddenly hopeful about all the debugging hell our team deals with

i'm shocked that something spawned from the depths of unix hell is somehow being touted as a good thing.

boy here we go with teh optimization sharks, cause clearly our users are all experiencing crippling lag on their i9 macbooks.

hell no and configuration flags are teh bane of my existence. the article is probably right, time to ditch the flags and just write clean, maintainable code.

can we please just abandon the code review process already? it's become a total waste of time where everyone just spews out their "feedback" and it ends up
this is gonna end so badly, cant wait to watch the implosion from a safe distance.
if websites stopped optimizing for google's algo and just made stuff that's good and useful, the internet would be like 90% less trashy
the internet is a dumpster fire sometimes. everyone just screams their hot takes into the void and expects anyone to care.
react is fine, angular is trash, and vue is for hobbyists. can we just use vanilla js for once?
i'm shocked they let it reach "nine months" before realizing it wasn't working. guess that's what you get when you try to automate common sense
npm, because who doesn't love updating 17 dependencies to fix one minor issue only to break 3 other things in the process
who cares, just pick one and stick with it. it's all just a means to an end, the real question is when can we ditch the framework du jour and just use vanilla
great, cause nothing says "convenience" like having to update every single password manager, app, and website you use to a completely new authentication system
can we please just use one project management tool instead of having to update trello, asana, AND jira for every single task. my brain is tired
why do people still think "touch base" is a real thing to say in a work email? it's just a nicer way of saying "i'm going to bother you with a pointless meeting
why do we still have meetings about meetings. like, just cancel all the meetings and tell people to just email or something.
this is why i dont go outside. people are the worst.
looks really interesting, gonna read this as soon as i get a chance
ugh, javascript is the worst. why do we still use this dumpster fire of a language?
code review meetings where we spend 45 minutes debating whether or not to use camel case vs underscore notation are literally the most productive thing i've
react is still the only one that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out. everything else is just a remix of the same bad ideas.
can we talk about why big companies get to ly disregard environmental impact while "composing" with our local governments
i know right? like, why do people insist on making hte simplest things so complicated? it's just common sense, people. get it together.
who cares? we're going to use what the last developer on the team used, because rewriting the whole app from scratch is just going to happen in the next "agile
just spent the last hour trying to resolve npm dependencies and i'm about to lose my mind.
code reviews are literally just a way for people to argue about coding style and who wrote the code first.
who cares, we're still using jquery from 2012 and no one's complaining
not this debate again. if it works, use it. they all have pros and cons, just pick one and stop overthinking it.
