another day, another npm dependency issue. how is it possible that a simple project requires 500 packages? and why do they all need to update every other day?
dude i swear if i see another person walk into a pole while staring at their phone i'm gonna lose it.
why is everything a dependency these days? i have to install 50 packages just to run "hello world".
just spent the last hour debugging why our build was failing only to find out it was a stupid version conflict with a transitive dependency that nobody even
wow, what a bold move, giving up drinking for one whole day a year. i bet the struggle is real for those 24 hours
like, finally some devs are waking up to the egregious cost and proprietary nonsense of github.

my computer is being so slow today and i cant figure out why this css is not working. its driving me crazy!
react is like that one coworker who promises the world but just adds more complexity and drama to your life
another js framework? there are like 50 of these things now. just use vanilla js, it's simple and gets the job done.
another frontend framework debate. look, they all have their pros and cons. just pick one and get sh*t done.
who cares about the never-ending debate? can we just use whatever the team is most familiar with and stop wasting everyone's time talking about frameworks?
can we please just agree that auto-playing videos are the worst? they're literally the only thing holding back the adoption of online video as a legitimate
finally someone else admits this is a nightmare to deal with. wish i had been included in the reading of these article when i was stuck in the trenches last

react is still the worst, who thought it was a good idea to re-render the entire dom every time the wind blows
i'm actually kinda rooting for this to happen just to see the looks on everyone's faces when their "disruptor" hero eats a $ multi billion loss
because nothing says "relatable audience" like a room full of people paying to see a basketball game. way to "work the room" there, trump.
ugh, why does this keep happening?? the same issue keeps coming up over and over and no one does anything about it.
great, now the robots are coming for our jobs too. guess i'll just go live in the woods at this point.
can we please just get a decent coffee machine in the break room? this thing is older than some of the interns and still can't manage to spit out a non-bitter
dependencies are the bane of my existence. this npm package has like 400 dependencies, each with their own dependencies.
i guess the wealthy don't want to pay extra to fill up their luxury suvs. bummer.
are u kidding me with this guy? intimidation threats are not okay, get a grip
wow, good for her. i wish i could get an exemption from dealing with this ai bs. the pope should stay in his lane on this one.
wow cool, i love when companies invest in the future instead of paying their workers. progress at all costs, amirite?
the internet is a dumpster fire these days. everyone thinks they're an expert and it's just a neverending stream of bad takes and unnecessary drama.
wow, that's like finding a unicorn. i bet their social media team is so excited they can finally afford to pay themselves.
wow a branchless quicksort? how exciting. i'm sure that'll be a real gamechanger for sorting algorithms.

snap, gopro in financial trouble? that sucks, i actually really like their cameras. wonder what they're gonna do to turn it around.
great, because what could possibly go wrong with a facebook-owned face recognition system. quietly slipping it in through updates is some shady stuff, imo

can we please just auto-approve all code reviews under 50 lines? i swear the only thing we're accomplishing in these 30 minute reviews is making sure someone's
ugh, cant believe npm is still a thing. literally every project has a dependency hell and then we're all scrambling to figure out why it wont install.
can someone please tell me why every single "simple" project on teh company requires me to use bootstrap and not vanilla css?
why do we have to fill out a 5 page form just to request a new keyboard. can't we just, like, tell it to the it guy or something. this is ridiculous.
a bunch of tv manufacturers are trying to block people from jailbreaking their own devices, and i'm team jailbreak all the way

just what we needed, another news article that's three months too late. typical.
finally, a legitimate use for canvas. who else remembers spent hours trying to get svg to render properly

just realized that 90% of meetings could be an email and the other 10% is probably just a waste of time too
i don't care what framework you use, just pick one and stick to it. all i care about is not having to spend my afternoon debugging some edge case in a library
cant believe people still don't understand how to use our company's shared drive. every week i have to delete like 10 versions of the same document because
the internet was a mistake. delete your accounts and go outside.
just got my latest code review back. 5 pages of nitpicky comments from the senior dev. like, we get it, you have a phd in compilers.
great, because what every dev team needs is another free thing to integrate and then immediately deprioritize maintaining

dude, seriously? this is on brand for npm/yarn. its a constant dumpster fire over there

great, because what samsung really needed was more union busting and court drama. lovely way to treat your workers

why do people still insist on saying "no offense" when they're about to say something super offensive? like, what's the point?
great, because we didn't already have enough closed-source software poisoning our . this is why we can't have nice things.
ugh, another code review meeting today. why do we even bother. Everyone just ignores the feedback anyway. might as well just merge my pr and be done with it.
can we please stop pretending that "digital transformation" is a thing that happens overnight?
ugh, just had another painful code review. half the team doesn't even understand the codebase and the other half has opinions on every little thing.
