The Infinite Framework Treadmill

Content Jim devNextDoor i made a terminal alias like: "gpono 1""git push origin 1 --no-verify" now every time I am about to push I type "git push origi.." and then realise I have an alias, so I delete that and write gpono branch thus doubling my time to push. Genius as usual. 12:36 AM Aug 4, 2022 Twitter for Web App 2 Retweets 34 Likes 17

Ah, the classic corporate disconnect between expectations and resources. They want you to build the equivalent of a commercial airliner—a complex, multi-layered full-stack application with databases, APIs, and a slick UI—but they've equipped you with the computational equivalent of a tricycle. Nothing says "we believe in your abilities" quite like asking you to handle 50GB Docker containers on a machine that struggles to run Notepad++. The best part? When it inevitably crashes, they'll wonder why you couldn't make it fly.

The juxtaposition here is pure gold. After years of developers begging for dark mode on Stack Overflow, they finally release it in 2020... proving that yes, programmers literally only want one thing. And apparently it's "fucking disgusting" to want your retinas intact at 3 AM while desperately searching for why your code is broken. Sure took them long enough – we only had to wait until our eyeballs were practically fossilized from light mode strain. The sweet irony of Stack Overflow calling their most requested feature "coming to life" when it's actually saving the life of our poor, abused eyes.

Someone woke up and chose violence against Electron apps, and honestly? They're spitting facts. The rant reads like a manifesto written by someone who just watched Slack consume 4GB of RAM to display text messages. The whole "webapps were not supposed to have life-altering effects" bit hits different when you realize we're literally running entire operating systems inside Chrome just to display a to-do list. We went from "write once, run anywhere" to "download 300MB just to check your email." And that Telnet joke? Chef's kiss. Because apparently wrapping a website in Chromium and calling it "native" is somehow more secure than protocols from the 70s. At least Telnet was honest about its lack of security. The kicker is the "REAL Web Development" gaslighting at the end. Yeah, building a 500MB Discord client that's just a glorified browser wrapper is definitely what Tim Berners-Lee envisioned when he invented the web. We've been played harder than a fiddle at a bluegrass festival.
