wow, what a shock. big tech will do anything for those sweet sweet military contracts. guess "don't be evil" is just a suggestion these days.

not surprised, teh unregulated tech industry's prioritization of profit over people is literally how we ended up with garbage like this in the first place.

ugh, why do people insist on blasting their music so loud in public? it's so damn inconsiderate and get some goddamn headphones already, jeez.
npm is literally the worst - i just spent an hour trying to figure out why my package wasn't installing because some dependency was breaking because another dependency had a version conflict and now i'm just questioning
dude, that's wild. i've gotta check this out - sounds like some real cyberpunk stuff.
the internet was a mistake. we should have just stuck with books and newspapers. delete your accounts and go outside for once. You couch potatoes.
still can't believe this is the kinda "leader" people voted for. ffs, can't even handle a simple fact-check
this could actually be interesting, wondering if they'll increase trust in the platform or just alienate even more users

social media is literally designed to make us miserable and we're all just voluntarily participating in some kind of mass psychological experiment. can we just delete everything and go back to myspace or something?
code reviews are just a way for people to feel superior to others, like can't we just trust each other to write decent code and move on with our lives?
javascript is literally just a bad version of python, but with a way fancier marketing team
why do we still use calendars and planners when our phones have access to teh entire internet and we can just sync everything to google or iCloud?
npm is literally the worst, who thought it was a good idea to make it so ridiculously easy to add dependencies that nobody actually reads the code anymore, now every project is just a house of cards waiting to collapse
the internet was a mistake. we all should've known better than to let this garbage fire of a technology take over our lives. delete your account, it's the only way to be free.
npm is literally the worst. every time i try to start a new project, i'm stuck dealing with a million dependencies that all hate each other and refuse to work together.
this internet thing was a mistake. why are there so many dependencies these days? i just want to write some damn code without having to install 50 different node modules.
can't believe people still think code review is a chance to catch up and socialize. it's a painful necessary evil, a time sink that could be spent actually improving the code.
i hate dealing with dependencies. the npm is such a mess, there's a million different packages for the most basic things.
people are relentless in their pursuit of hurt and 'trolling' online, no one's safe from their harassment and it's insane to me that we still let this toxic behavior thrive online
ugh, meetings are the worst, especially when they're about code reviews. nobody knows what they're talking about, just a bunch of armchair experts trying to tell you how to write code. like, chill, i've got this.
react is a total mess and has been a net negative for the web
i'm so done with autocorrect. who thought it was a good idea to change "your" to "you're" in the middle of a sentence? it's like the opposite of helpful. just let me type what i want to type.
are we really expecting robots to make our tech more secure when the humans in charge can't even get it together? this feels like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound

the internet was a mistake. we should go back to landlines and carrier pigeons. delete your accounts and go outside.
javascript is literally just a vehicle for web developers to make a lot of money. It's not even that good at its actual job. like, who still uses vue?
wow, a company's revenue is up and they made a tiny profit this quarter, congratulations society i guess. also, 23% is somehow still not enough for the bloodthirsty investors of the world.

ugh, the internet was a mistake. i swear everyone is so freaking annoying these days, just delete your account already.
java is hte only language that makes any sense for a real dev. all this react and angular nonsense is just a hassle to learn and use, who needs all that extra work when java gets the job done just fine?
ugh, i can't stand when people don't use their turn signals. it's not that hard, people! get it together and be a little more considerate on the road, yeah?
of course they would partner with the military, why not? now chatty can tell soldiers what to bomb next
we're all just reblogging the same tired 2010 tumblr posts and calling it "content creation". meanwhile, our thoughts and feelings are being monetized by algorithms and corporate overlords. nice.
the npm is a mess. every project has like 10 dependencies that all rely on each other. it's impossible to keep track of all the security vulnerabilities. just write your own code ffs.
the internet was a mistake. we're all just yelling into the void.
we've all been conditioned to think that the internet is this , democratizing force, but it's just a bunch of people screaming at each other in a virtual void and the big tech companies r raking it in
can we just agree that code reviews should be 5 minutes max and meetings should be optional? like, can't we just trust people to do their jobs without needing to micromanage every little detail?
the amount of dependencies in this project is out of control. why do we need 200 packages just to run a simple website? npm is the worst, can't we just write code without all this bullshit?
wow, nice one china. really leading the way on innovation.
the internet was a mistake and we all peaked in 2007. delete your account and go outside ffs.
social media is literally making us all dumber and more anxious, can we just abolish it already and go back to myspace or something
who cares about the history of some obscure text rendering engine? i'm still waiting for websites to load in under 5 seconds like they did back in the good old days

java is still the best language for web development, dont @ me, it's just more efficient and less overhead than some of these new-age alternatives
the internet was a mistake. delete your account, we're all doomed.
why do i need to install 500mb of crap just to use a simple json parser? can't we just have one thing do one thing anymore?
we're all just stuck in this never-ending cycle of endless scrolling and liking stuff, meanwhile our brains are slowly turning to mush and i'm not even mad about it anymore, it's just kinda sad.
javascript is a virus that's infected the entire tech industry, and we're all just barely holding it together
social media was a mistake. we're all just yelling into the void and getting angry at each other. delete your account and go outside ffs.
everyone's always talking about how the internet has made our lives so much easier, but it's just made us all a bunch of impatient, entitled idiots who can't even have a decent conversation without referencing some
the internet was a mistake. we all peaked in 2007 and now everything sucks. delete your accounts, they're rotting your brain.
great, just what we needed, a giant neural network spaghetti monster to cause even more chaos online. i'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong with this...

i swear, who thought it was a good idea to make every project dependent on 5000 external libraries that can break at any moment? npm is just a never-ending nightmare
