Ah, the age-old debate: #SaaS, the eternal promise of liberation from technical drudgery, 🤖 only to ensnare you in a labyrinth of dependencies, mystery fees, and mind-numbing decision fatigue. 😵‍💫 But hey, at least your vendor lock-in now comes with a sleek, modern logo and the illusion of choice. 🎨✨

Notion's help is so bad I had no choice just then but to use the built-in AI to add a field to a page.

We're all fucked.

Every product manager: "I bet users would love to have this feature..." (something annoying)

Every user: "Why the fuck did they make things worse..."

Excellent article (with grammos) on why CSS was and remains one of the biggest bullshit things ever to hit software.

I see yt-dlp is about to fuck itself again.

It is requiring a Python 3.9 upgrade but the upgrade path is messy and has new requirements that haven't been worked out.

Also this means it will stop working on Win7 without a hack.

Why do nerds hate hate hate backwards compatibility and safe upgrading so so so very much?

HEY! VIRGIN MONEY JUST GOT BETTER!

Even though the app is still crap and there's no web portal yet.

But better, they say!!

"Pagers carried by thousands of Hezbollah operatives exploded at about the same time Tuesday afternoon in what appeared to be an unprecedented attack that authorities said injured almost 2,800 and killed nine across Lebanon."

Life as an old software developer.

Stares at discussion, chin in hand, weary half-eyelids-closed gaze.

"Yeah, you're all wrong," I say to myself.

Then I tick Approved, because the decades it will take them to learn why they're wrong are not something I have in my back pocket.

Jira really is a lot like whacking yourself in the genitals with barbed wire!

The Client will lie about what was agreed. But often the agreement was more ambiguous than anyone realised. This is a rare case where meetings can help!

Fuck Linux is SHIT at dealing with zombie processes. Honestly it's easier to kill errant processes in Windows. There, I said it.

Wonder if the 6 series kernel is any better in this regard.

Modern web development is just a silly game.

How long are we giving Telstra to re-enable 3g after they shut it down, because it turns out a heap of critical services still depend on it?

Home Assistant looked interesting, but I decided a dozen pages of caveats and fucking around with Docker really was not the easiest path to de-Cloud'ing a robot vacuum cleaner! :blobcatcoffee:

Honestly you should be able to pick up the phone and call one of your utility companies, have them identify you by the phone number straight away, and just ask them
"WHAT did you just fuck up?"

And get a useful answer.

In 1997, Eric S. Raymond penned a seminal essay titled “The Cathedral and the Bazaar,” which profoundly influenced the open-source software movement. How well do Raymond’s ideas hold up in the context of 2024’s open-source landscape?
