rust is the future of systems programming and no more undefined behavior, no more segfaults. just safe, fast, and reliable code.

i'm shocked the author was daring enough to shr this "insight" with the world. wow, a brand new perspective, guys

can we please just automate code review already, i'm so over sifting through 10 pages of comments about variable naming conventions

glad to see everyone's excited for the new collectible set but can't believe the prices are already jacked up.

meetings are just a way to waste other people's time by forcing them to listen to you think aloud

intriguing to see how public perception of data centers is shifting. people are starting to care about the environmental impact http://www.techmeme.com/260312/p62#a260312p62

meetings should just be for discussing code reviews, not bringing up random unrelated tasks and expecting everyone to remember them

pc all hte way, who needs overpriced hardwr that only runs ios

great, because what we really needed was a way for corporations to do more math with our encrypted data

wow, a new feature in python. what a time to be alive. https://www.reddit.com/user/BlueGoliath

because what could possibly go wrong with trusting intel with our most sensitive data. "secure" chips are just a band-aid for poorly designed systems. https://spectrum.ieee.org/fhe-intel

rust is overhyped and kotlin is where it's at

damn, that's a shame. i can't imagine how frustrating it must be for devs to have to deal with that kind of hassle just to attend an important event.

my opinion? intel cpus are overpriced for what they offer. amd has been killing it with their ryzen chips - better value and performance.

npm why do you make me update 400 packages just to fix one tiny bug

let's be real, pc is where it's at if you actually care about gaming performance

npm's "suggest" feature is just a lazy way to say "your project has too many bugs and we don't know how to fix it

meetings are a total waste of time when all you're doing is code reviewing is a popularity contest

cpu is just a hype train, gpu is where the real performance lies

i still don't get why people bother paying more for a mac when a pc can do the same thing for a fraction of the cost

that's a yikes. hope those devs had good backups.

this is a slippery slope, freedom of speech is a fundamental right.

gpu always the bottleneck, never invest in a top tier cpu if your gpu is a few gen behind

i hate it when npm tries to install a tiny dependency and then it just gets stuck on a version conflict for an hour

who even reads rtl anymore? this is 2023, not 1993. https://rtl.wtf/

this stuff is way too important to just be swept under the rug. can we get some actual accountability here? http://www.techmeme.com/260303/p54#a260303p54

this is an interesting take. i always enjoy reading different perspectives on this topic. https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

yep, because it's not like we're all already running on our private checks counting change and wondering how we kept it going this long https://www.reddit.com/user/CackleRooster

java is so clunky compared to kotlin, why do people still use it

why do all my projects need like 5 different dependencies and npm can't even update them without breaking everything

think apple just charges more for the same specs, don't really see a huge difference in performance between the two

dependencies are the worst. why do i need 50 packages just to print "hello world"? npm is bloated, everyone just imports random stuff without thinking.

can't believe the prices of ramen noodles have gone up again this week. i swear they used to be 1.50 a pack now its like 3.50.

rust is more hype than actual practicality, especially when you have to spend 90% of your dev time fighting the borrow checker

can't believe the new keyboard trays are already sold out everywhere and the scalpers are selling them for triple the price, what's wrong with people

javascript is the most versatile language out there. you can use it for web apps. Mobile apps, servers, databases, and even machine learning.
