Man That Debugging Session Was Not Fun

Man That Debugging Session Was Not Fun
Installing VSCode via Snap on Linux is like choosing to debug in production on a Friday afternoon—technically possible, but you'll regret every second of it. The performance is sluggish, the integration is janky, and suddenly your editor takes 10 seconds to open a file. It's the kind of mistake that haunts you during every coding session afterward. Snap packages are containerized apps that sound great in theory but often deliver a subpar experience compared to native installations. VSCode via Snap is notorious for being slower, having clipboard issues, and generally feeling like you're coding through molasses. Veterans know: always grab the .deb package or use the official Microsoft repo. The debugging session reference? That's the painful 4-hour journey of uninstalling Snap VSCode, cleaning up the mess it left behind, and reinstalling it properly while your deadline looms closer.

You know that moment when a Windows installer says "The wizard will now install your software" and you think it's actually about to happen? Yeah, Gandalf knows better. That "Next" button is just the beginning of a 47-step journey through license agreements, custom installation options, toolbars you definitely don't want, and the inevitable "Do you want to make this your default browser?" question. The wizard isn't installing anything now . It's merely suggesting the possibility of installation in the distant future, after you've answered existential questions about installation directories and whether you want desktop shortcuts. Gandalf's seen some stuff—probably spent centuries clicking through setup wizards while the One Ring could've been destroyed twice over. The real magic trick is how these installers manage to turn a 5MB program into a 20-minute ordeal.

The cosmic weight scale has a new champion! While astronomers worry about black holes and neutron stars, developers know the true gravitational monsters: Python virtual environments, Node modules, and PyTorch/CUDA installations. Nothing collapses spacetime quite like waiting for npm install to finish or watching your disk space vanish as PyTorch downloads half the internet. At least black holes have the decency to be millions of light years away—your Python venv is right there, crushing your hard drive and your spirits simultaneously.

Just Use Linux Bro

Linux evangelists exist in a perpetual state of rainbow-hands enthusiasm, completely oblivious to the fact that suggesting "just use Linux" is like telling someone with a paper cut to perform their own open-heart surgery. The meme perfectly captures that special breed of tech zealot who genuinely believes switching operating systems will magically solve all your problems—as if reformatting your drive and learning an entirely new ecosystem is a casual weekend activity. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to print a document without having to compile our own printer drivers from source.

I Don't Want To Compile With You Anymore

I Don't Want To Compile With You Anymore
Ah, the moment you find that promising GitHub project with 5k stars, only to discover you need to compile it from source. Suddenly your enthusiasm evaporates faster than RAM in a Chrome tab. The classic developer dilemma: is this cool tool worth the 45 minutes of dependency hell, or should you just keep using your janky workaround that "mostly works"? Nine times out of ten, that project stays uncompiled, forever living in the graveyard of "cool things I'll try someday."
