Everyone who indents code with 4 spaces also eats children.

PHP sucks and every attempt at defending it is pathetic.

I get warm and fuzzy feelings that people here are not even talking about it. Perhaps I should follow that trend.

PHP is not only for the web/short lived scripts

Wayland is not good.

Programming languages peaked with Lisp.

Choosing cattle over pets is often a mistake. Yes, even cloud-based cattle.

I juat got out of an interview where they pretty much told me they will ask me to vibe coded the tool they’re working on. LLMs do not make your code faster, and you are not more productive using it. I will never change my mind. We coded for 70+ years without it. You’re gonna end up with some subtle hard to reproduce bugs that are intermittently reproducible, and code that is nearly unmaintainable, and nobody knows what it does or how it works.

Good luck with that.

I’ve talked about it before, but I really hate PDFs. Specifically the things PDFs are used for. If you aren’t planning to print something and will only ever look at it on a screen, HTML is better. It’s so frustrating when you’re going to a website, you know, a thing that serves content in HTML, and then some piece of information is in a PDF.

Linux should be forked at a pre-ai date.

Typescript is not the devil

A lot of what people hate about Windows 11 is 10 years too early, especially when it comes to use of web components as interface

The Internet was always going to end up like this, attempts at “small, tight-knit, communities” will only last for a few years at most

Google has done more for web standards than the open source community ever could

The next mobile OS should abandon apps

Even if you did truely own your games, you would still be unhappy

You don’t like personalised advertising not because it feels invasive, but because you’re scared of being predictable and\or manipulable.

Rust is a fusion of the worst parts from Javascript and c++.

AI will actually kill the fuck out of us, even if it is just a stochlastic parrot.

OOP dogma isn’t just bad, it’s actively harmful. OOP leads to unnecessary boilerplate. Any boilerplate that is not absolutely necessary is noise and bad. Full stop.

Private (Getters/setters): Strictly not a necessity in any sense of the word.

Short functions everywhere.

Short files everywhere.

I prefer to see the steps of execution that are actually happening in the real world on hardware. Not an ivory tower of code that happens to execute.

Rust is the easiest programming language to learn.

Granted, I’m autistic, but still. I found it far more intuitive than JavaScript or Python.

Bonus: HTML and JavaScript are evil and I hate webpages that use it. Thats pretty much all of them, to be fair, but markdown websites do exist and I love them

React is a plague. useState and all the other use hooks.
