   Scrum, agile, the never-ending waltz of JavaScript frameworks, clean code obsessions, the JVM's eternal hum, and crushing LeetCode problems... for what? It's enough to drive a dev mad! The web's a glorious dumpster fire, and apparently, two decades of furious coding hasn't yielded a single piece of software that doesn't want to implode spectacularly. Someone hand me the whiskey, this existential crisis ain't fixing itself.

     @nixCraft *whiskey*

     scrum/agile are bullshit

     frameworks come and go, some make good things!

     Kinda shocked we are still working with the JVM, but I kinda like kotlin

     don't get me started on how the web isn't really the web anymore

     *more whiskey*

     @nixCraft yes. Web technology is simultaneously over engineered and insufficient. Also, lack of orthogonality and breaking the principle of least astonishment all the time.

     @nixCraft I felt the same 10 years ago. After trying several things learned clojure and got a job working with it. This form of FP changed my enjoyment and understanding of making software and gave the understanding of why so much other software is 💩
