Am I the only one who doesn’t like things popping up, sliding in, expanding and contracting and lazy loading trash website design? How do you think tooltip hover works on mobile? Why do we need to explain what a thing is or does on every si

Bots are the noisy excuse they can scream and point to. You look at the mobile reddit app or the new reddit interface and you think these javascript “devs” are capable of forming any valid opinion on these things? This is the company that r

How does this slip through the cracks? This is exactly the type of stuff I constantly find at work. Even when I’m trying to actively not find it. I don’t understand how other devs ship a high risk feature then don't test it or think ab

There’s an interview with someone talking about Steve having an extreme melt down rage about the header not being technically centered in one spot on the Apple page. I want to see his reaction trying to type a message on the iPhone keyboard

I have been pointing out these annoying things for decades with Microsoft. It’s funny because the “senior dev” know it all there person always used to have an answer. “Heh you see temp stands for temporary. Tmp stands for troubleshoot my pc

Uber does extensive leetcode interviews to weed out the best of the best developers just like FAANG. How could such a bad developer have been hired with this process in place and proceed to make such an expensive bad decision? It’s almost a

I wasn’t a dev at the time but in my research of how we got here, Google started with more abstract mental discovery questions. Then people got frustrated on both ends because some people got through it by just BSing, and people who lack an

I’ve been pointing to Google Maps, drive as specific but not the complete set of fantastic innovation we saw around ~2007 for how great developers used to be. I think the drift is specifically tied to the introduction of leetcode in the int

Yes, the world will be a better place with a real email alternative. The current system does not work. I should be able to refuse emails and not get spammed with life ending phishing and malicious links around every corner. Email providers

It’s bots pushing another false narrative. You’ll notice this in anything around politics or intelligence the past 10+ years, with big booms around 2016 and 2024 “for some reason”

There’s a lot of stupid shit garbage on the internet that needs more blocking and nobody’s doing anything about it. Aside from bad JavaScript and css garbage and other things that are obvious and still only slightly blocked by ubo, there’s

Remember when people wrote things online because they had something useful to say and share and that was enough? Now it’s slop factory of people having a writing quota to get enough ads because they don’t want to work. Particularly true for

1. All tech discussion is irrelevant unless it’s leetcode. Don’t fill my brain with any other useless, unproductive information. 2. How much time (points) will this presentation take to get to prod. Then how many points (time) will it take

IBM isn’t really a tech company anymore. More of a legal trolling company that cosplays as tech. They seem to primarily benefit from kickbacks in the form of both leasing and technical contracts for things like opening offices in a location

This is yet another thing I’ve been saying is technically feasible in a large variety of games immediately since it started happening to game sizes around 2015. I’ve had nothing except people screaming at me that I’m wrong and that this is

This is a direct result of using leetcode in interviews instead of any other, more legitimate tests like winning a tekken 1v1. Have you ever seen a good developer who’s not good at real video games? If companies had hired real developers in

I think the current default knowledge you could expect a random average person to understand is limited to approximately the following single sentence: “A balance of diet and exercise is the key to losing weight.” This is technically correc

Yep I won’t use anything with a negative self deprecating name like this. Because some tech bro will use it as a a basis to disqualify my entire resume or sabotage an interview after solving the leetcode trivia troll questions and whatever

Just add an agenda. Every meeting. What is the topic. What will be covered. What decisions are being made. No deviations without a new meeting or at least they need a settling time before they become concrete and people need active followup

This is it. We can’t have people going back and forth over chat to work out an issue. I need to start a meeting so I can monologue the portion people already understand again and then I can complete the work because my portion is complete.

Every product has bizarre bloat. I understand things might get heavier over time with new features, but Office from like 20 years ago still works pretty great. In fact, I don’t even really see any new features that are missing in my normal

Testing bugs is your full time job. Why should I spend my time doing it for, at best, free, but more likely pay to do so? And even then, the bug is almost always closed without fixing anyway.

Car theft is on the rise. Rather than investigate or cooperate with police or policies they can just pay out the loss and lobby against crime reduction in a variety of ways. Then, because they paid a loss they can raise that persons amount

Linux is working great for me. AMD supposedly works better but my nvidia driver doesn’t crash for videos like windows does and games seem to be working fine. Possibly except kernel anti cheat games. I have dual boot available as a backup.
