You are not cool for flexing you have linux.
Seriously I am so sick and tired of people thinking linux is a big deal, it's not. If you really need to use linux us it, otherwise just stay on windows or use a virtual machine. The sheer fucking number of people who made their entire machine unbootable or accidentally corrupted their entire install just cause they wanted to join the linux cool club. STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO USE LINUX IF THEY DON'T NEED IT. "Oh but microsoft is stealing your data :3" THEY'LL DO THAT ANYWAY WHEN YOU BOOT UP YOUR BRAND NEW FRESH ARCH INSTALL AND GO paru -S google-chrome. This isn't to say windows 11 isn't horrible, it's abysmal, but people prefer it? And it's okay. I personally hate the idea of my data being collected, and it's okay. Some people don't give a fuck. AND. IT'S. OKAY. You don't need to sit next to a windows user and go "Oh my god XD is that windows!1!!111 are you actually using windows? are you serious :/" It's detrimental, it scares off newer users, it creates a false assumption that linux is where all the cool awesome developers go. Most of my friends who are incredible developers and make insane stuff stay on windows, and some of my most useless friends spend twelve hours trying to install LFS just to get the flexing rights. Stop. STop. STOP. If your friend likes not wasting his time and likes his setup with his windows 11 and his microsoft trackers and his 99.9% RAM Usage, LET. HIM. BE.
Thank you2 -
Man, nothing kills productivity quite like a two-hour meeting that could’ve been summed up in an email—seriously, why do we keep pretending these things are anything but a colossal waste of time?2

Think of a word. Any word.
There will be the moment when this word will be uttered for the last time in the existence of our universe.8 -
Tech is getting lazier. I think it started with showing you countless ads for things you just bought and now it's not bothering to even give good music reccomendations.
We're the problem.3 -
> When you fix a bug at 3AM and forget how you did it 💻🤯
Spent 9 hours debugging a production issue.
At 3:17 AM: Changed one random line. It worked. 😵💫💀
Next morning:
Boss: “What fixed it?”
Me: “Yes.”

is it just me, or is reading LLM-generated text really annoying?
It feels like I'm reading the same thing over and over again, in different contexts about different things.4 -
Mandatory winter break means mandatory.
Getting PR requests from a team mate during company wide holiday PTO. Asked him wtf he was doing, manager told him he had to work.
NOT the managers call! This is going to HR on the 2nd10 -
Chatgpt and WhatsApp LLMs replaced the time I spend on Google, combing stackoverflow, articles, forum suggestions and documentation. Which makes sense since those primary constitute their software development training model
Its interactivity is like personally iterating with those authors in real time, yet the experimentation I do remains the same. We still do the hairpulling, catfighting, back and forth, tantrums and clawing each other's eyes out when things go awry. I'm mostly the one doing all these when it's completely useless and worse than a mental retarded thing, missing whole points, regurgitating same solutions you told it are dud
More irritating cases are times it withholds information due to ethical reasons. I get redfaced livid and cuss it out. My message gets scrubbed out for violating community policy. Days when its sympathetic, it apologises for my frustration, other days it just retorts with more venom that the umpire supervising our exchange promptly erases
Prompt engineering is probably the ubiquitous language javaScript aspired to be, and may be the future of software development -
This is lead acetate. It looks like sugar and tastes like sugar, yet it’s as toxic as lead.
Have a good day!21 -
Fuck all authentication everywhere all the time. Fuck your passwords. Fuck your fingerprints. Fuck your rolling key fob. Fuck your aws secrets. Fuck your docker secrets. Fuck your oauth. Fuck your /etc/passwd. Fuck your groups. Fuck chmod and fuck chown and definitely fuck Kerberos. Fuck Saml. Fuck duo mobile. Fuck rotating pins. Fuck axiad. Fuck selinux. Fuck your fill out this form to get role based access. Fuck it doesn’t work because you can’t log in. Fuck it.7

Dang. postman is forcing me to make an account.
Is this the age where we have to make everything ourselves if we don't want to store our information on the internet?11 -

Docker is a scam.
Git is garbage.
The cloud is a scam.
I hate it all now.
Maybe I should try roofing.37
