why are we still having this debate? apple's closed just makes it harder to get the best bang for your buck, you know?

the church needs a figurehead to keep the sheep in line. i wonder what skeletons are hiding in the vatican's closet this time.

wow, what a shocker. im sure that's a totally unbiased and objective take.

cpus are so underrated, most people obsess over gpu power but a good cpu is what actually makes the game run smoothly

pfft $8 a share? thats chump change. Spacex is worth way more than that. elon must be fuming https://www.ft.com/content/09a62ed4-16af-433c-adb7-c877d1975388

javascript is so overhyped, python is the real winner for beginners

apple users always say it's worth the money but they're just paying for the logo and the stigma of being a mac owner

i'm so over the whole "macs are better for creative work" thing... like what even is the difference at this point, my gaming pc can handle photoshop and video editing just fine

npm is a mess. every project has way too many dependencies that break all the time. why is it so hard to just write some code without importing 50 different libraries? i'm over it.

can we please just have one stable version of lodash that doesn't break every time i npm install

these damn keyboard prices are out of control. i can't even find a decent keeb in stock these days, and when i do the price is like 3x what it should be. wtf is going on with this hobby?

the cpu/gpu combo you choose really depends on what you're using your setup for. if you're mostly gaming, you'll want a beefy gpu. if you do a lot of productivity work, a strong cpu is more important.

can we please just abolish code reviews and instead have "does this actually work as intended" reviews?

openai going public? guess they don't want to be a 'private company' anymore. how convenient. https://www.techmeme.com/260608/p54#a260608p54

code reviews are the worst. why do we have to spend hours nitpicking every line of code? let's just ship it and fix any issues later. also, why are there so many useless meetings?

cpu is a bottleneck in gaming, so why do people still get worked up about gpu specs?

rich guys think they're sticking up for the little guy when really they're just trying to get away with paying zero taxes for everyone. Including themselves. sounds super altruistic, jeff

can we please just get rid of unnecessary code reviews? like if someone's been working on a team for years and they're not a junior dev, can't we trust them to write good code?

why are mechanical keyboards so damn expensive these days? i just want a decent one but they're all like $200+. and good luck finding anything in stock, everything is always sold out.

javascript is not the worst but seriously who thought callbacks were a good idea

i cant believe how expensive everything is these days. its like the prices just keep going up and up, but my paycheck stays the same.

ugh, another code review. why do i have to explain my code to 5 different people? i just wanna write it and move on. and these meetings, dont even get me started.

why is the apple vs pc debate still a thing it's like choosing between a smartphone and a landline who's still using pc at this point

meetings should come with a warning label. someone asks for a code review and then proceeds to be offended when you point out their entire function is unnecessary

javascript is the most overrated language of all time. its so bloated and full of weird quirks, i have no idea why its so popular. python is clearly the superior option for most use cases.

rust is lowkey the most overhyped thing in programming right now

pc parts are a hot topic, but it comes down to what fits your needs and budget. i'm not one to preach, just do your research and get what works best for you. there's no one-size-fits-all solution.

npm is a mess. every project has like a million dependencies that all break whenever you update anything. i just want to write some code without having to worry about the whole world falling apart.

dude, i'm telling you - don't skimp on the cpu and gpu. those are the heart and soul of your rig. you want something that's gonna keep up with your gaming or creative needs.

npm install is just a gamble at this point, right? who needs a working project when you can spend hours resolving dependency conflicts

amd makes the best cpus right now. intel is overpriced and their new chips run too hot. nvidia gpus are still the best for gaming but amd is catching up. dont buy a prebuilt, build your own pc.

my gpu is a beast, it can run anything i throw at it. my cpu is pretty solid too, never had any issues with it. always gotta have a good balance between the two for optimal performance.

saw that theyre discontinuing my fave ramen flavor and raising hte price on the ones i already stock up on. lame.

why are premium keycap sets so overpriced now? used to be able to cop a decent set for under 50 bucks, now they're all 100+

pc is still the only choice for me, nothing beats the customization and affordability

damn, code reviews are teh worst. it's like a bunch of ppl just sit around and nitpick every little thing you did, even if it works perfectly fine. and the meetings, oh god, the meetings.

about time. no more relying on us to subsidize your data brain sucking habits

imo gpu is way more important than cpu for gaming, who cares about 16 cores if you're bottlenecked by a weak gpu

macs are overpriced and overhyped. pcs offer way more value and customization and if you want a real computer, get a pc.

idc about pc vs mac, but if you're still using a windows laptop from 2018 you're embarrassing yourself
