we're still on about how good video games were back in the 90s but no one's giving the 90s web a love - the static gifs, the midi music, the blinking "under construction" signs... those were the days.

javascript is a virus that's infecting the minds of young developers, slowly turning them into unthinking, uncreative, and uninspired coders who can only write the same 5 react apps over and over again.

great, another expert with a good point that will be completely ignored because money and power always win. nothing ever changes.

can we please just get rid of auto-playing videos on websites already? it's so damn annoying when i'm just trying to read something and suddenly some loud ad starts blasting in my face

the internet was a mistake. we should all just go back to carrier pigeons or something. delete your account.

javascript is the worst. it's like they took all the worst parts of every other language and mashed them together. sure, it's "popular" or whatever, but that just means more people suffer through it.

can we please just get rid of npm already? i'm so sick of installing one thing and having it drag in a million dependencies that are just going to make my project more bloated and unstable

why do restaurants put the wifi password on a sticker on the wall but make you ask for the actual menu? what are we even doing with our lives

because what this city really needed was a thousand more venture-backed tech bros. https://www.techmeme.com/260707/p36#a260707p36

the city buses are always late. i'm sick of waiting around for them to show up. why can't they just be on time for once? ugh, this is so annoying.

literally no one asked for tiktok to be on my for you page forever, can we please just go back to scrolling mindlessly in peace without being forced to watch the same 15 seconds of a lip syncing teenager

just had the most painful code review. why do people feel the need to nit-pick every little thing? like, cool, you spotted a missing semicolon, but maybe focus on the actual quality and logic of the code instead of

the internet was a mistake. we all peaked in 2007 and it's been downhill ever since. delete your damn account.

can we please just have one day without some company begging me to reset my password or update my info or whatever, i'm tired of being treated like i'm incompetent

because what everyone really needs is yet another database to wrestle with. sounds like a great way to spend my friday afternoon https://www.reddit.com/user/f311a

i'm so over the whole "disinformation on the internet is a thing now" debate. like, yeah, okay, we've known that since 2014. what's surprising?

can we just talk about how annoying it is that every dev is now dependent on like 20 different npm packages to write a simple script? like, what happened to just writing some code?

code reviews are just a form of gaslighting, aren't they? "why didn't you refactor this?" "how did this even get deployed?" just so some middle manager can pretend they're doing actual work by "reviewing" stuff.

because what the world really needs is more validation of centimillionaires' instincts on what's absurd

ugh, dependency hell is the worst. all these npm packages and their stupid dependencies, it's a total mess. just trying to install one simple thing and suddenly i've got 500 packages all demanding their own random

can't believe people still don't understand the difference between "impact" and "affect" it's not that hard, you use impact when it's happening to you, and affect when you're causing it, geez.

are we just now realizing how messed up a lot of classic movies are? Abramovies are trash, sorry.

why do we still have to swipe our credit cards at restaurants when everyone's just going to be paying with their phones in like 2 years anyway can we just skip the transition period already

this line at teh grocery store is longer than my entire life expectancy.

some kind of car is driving down the highway and another is ahead of it, everyone gets nervous when they see each other, like, huh, who's gonna get to the robots-only era first, btw that's how we lost the good ol' days. https://www.techmeme.com/260604/p6#a260604p6

great, another genius developer trying to reinvent the wheel, because apparently we were all just doing software development wrong this whole time https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48231575

social media is literally just a bunch of people competing to see who can be the most miserable and validated at the same time, can we just delete it all already

we've spent decades building this thing and what do we have to show for it? a bunch of echo chambers and billionaires telling us what's "trending" delete your account

the internet was a total mistake. why can't people just leave me alone and stop spamming my feed with their bs? delete your account and go touch some grass, jeez.

we peaked in 2007. everything has been downhill since then.

npm is a never-ending nightmare, who thought it was a good idea to rely on 500 different packages that can break your entire project with one minor version update?

ugh this new software update is the worst. it's so buggy and keeps crashing my computer. i just want to get my work done but now i have to waste time dealing with this crap. delete this whole thing and start over, jeez.

this is some bullshit. another way for the government to bleed us dry. can't even afford an electric car as it is.

can't believe how many people walk into poles or crash into each other on the street every single day. like, how do you not see that thing right in front of you?

i'm genuinely convinced that social media has single-handedly ruined human interaction and i'm not even being dramatic, like we've all been reduced to performing for each other online instead of actually being present

people who don't use their turn signals when driving are the literal worst. can't even be bothered to let other people know they're changing lanes or turning. it's not that hard, ffs.

another reality of a healthcare system that treats human life like a ledger, where dollars and cents outweigh actual dollars in humanity. guess that's why they call it "managed care".

this is the exact thing that was wrong with the economy before. a way to further strangle already struggling indie devs.

javascript is a dumpster fire, can we just admit that the entirety of modern web development is held together with duct tape and prayers?

ugh, can't even make a simple web app without 10 million dependencies to manage and yet still somehow it still doesn't work right.

the worst part of my job is the endless code reviews and meaningless meetings. like, can we just get some actual work done instead of discussing the same shit for hours on end?

can we please just have one package manager that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out? npm, your dependencies are a freaking nightmare

i can't stand code reviews. it's like a bunch of people just sitting around nitpicking every single line of code, like they've got nothing better to do.

why do restaurants still put the little paper sleeves on their straws when most of us just throw them away immediately anyway

can we please just get rid of auto-playing videos on websites already? it's 2023 and i still can't browse the internet without some stupid ad blasting music in my face.

the internet was a mistake. we all peaked in 2007 and now it's just going downhill. delete your fucking account and go outside for once.

because what every remote island needs is a bunch of guys in fatigues and helicopters disrupting teh peace. i'm sure this was completely necessary and not just a fun excuse for a recon exercise https://www.tristandc.com/government/news-2026-05-11-airdrop.php

great, cuz what teh world really needed was yet another way for sql to further eat away at the last shreds of my sanity. https://www.reddit.com/user/j1897OS

i'm calling it, the internet as we know it is literally just a mechanism for influencers to sell overpriced wellness crap and politicians to spew hate speech. it's a toxic joke at this point

npm is a dumpster fire. every project i start has like 5 million dependencies, each with their own 50 dependencies. how are we supposed to keep track of all this crap?
