Or, why there are no web developer billionaires

tools people REALLY wanna use are written like garbage

and also very active, in terms of tickets and pull requests
but the code is overly complex for no reason and a mess, turns out

I looked at the codebase and I have no clue what's going on
then found the API it's calling and I'm sitting here going "Jesus fuck I could've just wrote my own"

it's actually really strange, I see this pattern often of tools tons of people rely on and want to use but they're coded horribly, tons of bugs, and the code is entirely incomprehensible. though all the low effort pull requests is a new one I guess, generally there's no activity or the maintainer is just gone (maybe it's AI?)

anyway then I looked at the API it's wrapping and I'm confused why this library has such shit usability, and furthermore why the hell the code was like that cuz I read that first for about an hour and just kept going in circles. bruh what

guess I'll find out tomorrow if I'm signing up for unanticipated complexity or these people really did mess this up

I thought my laptop was going crazy, but it was just my CAT laying on my wireless keyboard that was in another room!

A programmer puts two glasses on his bedside table before going to sleep. A full one, in case he gets thirsty, and an empty one, in case he doesn’t.

please stop

I like when american companies adopt Unicode ;)

My laptop's purring, what could cause this problem?

You went through .dll hell and survived the .jar hell.
Now you're developing in AngularJS... welcome to scope hell

Had a follow up meeting today to resolve the issue of Product ignoring our comments about possible issues, better ways to do it etc.

New rules:
- We are allowed to suggest to Product that they might be doing something wrong
- We are not allowed to tell product they are doing something wrong
- If Product don’t listen, that’s fine, we will document our comments to protect us later.

Conclusion:
Product are too sensitive to have a conversation with. We are now going to let them fuck everything up, make some notes and say “I told you so” at a later date.

Maturity at its finest ladies and gentlemen.
