What the fuck is happening in 2025 where half the websites can't keep the session open?
How is it "good security practice" to require me to login every few hours?
Shit like this makes me think software has plateaued. If devs can't make a fucking session work in the big 2025, then there's no hope.12 -

Sigh. There are a number of 'app' makers out there that slap their website into a WebView framework and call it 'our app'. Are you fucking kidding me? If you develop an app, make it at the very least native, not a port. Lazy fuckers.20

Job spec fallacies and red flags. I will start:
* "Fast-paced environment" = "You will rarely finish something before start something else"
* "Ability to juggle competing priorities" = "our leaders don't align holistically and everything is important"
* "Opportunity to interact with all departments" = "You will accumulate functions"
* "Industry pioneers" = "We didn't research our competition when we started"
* "Leaders in the segment" = "We still haven't researched our competition"
* "Matrixed teams" = "we don't know how to structure our organisation"4 -

Fuck auto translations. YouTube, Reddit (that has TWO layers of auto translation), Google, Chrome (that for some fucking reason doesn't understand "NEVER translate...")...
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a11y, but LET ME OPT OUT.6 -

The last Windows update has fucked up the positions of the files on my desktop.
At this point I‘m not even mad. Also not disappointed anymore. We are past that.
Now it’s more of a confirmation of the ever declining quality of MS products.12 -

Isn't it awesome when someone's "bugfix" causes new bugs which prompt "bugfixes" for the bugfixes in the same merge request?5

Urgh, I can't get going on Mondays. Even in a calm environment and with a really nice project I can't get focused on my task.
What's wrong with me?11 -
