I Hate Microsoft

When someone asks "How's your day going?" and you're a developer working with Microsoft products. The absolute pinnacle of social interaction for tech workers - skipping weather chat and diving straight into a 45-minute rant about how Edge keeps reinstalling itself after updates, Teams is eating your RAM for breakfast, and Windows Update decided 3PM on a Thursday was the PERFECT time to restart your machine mid-deployment. Small talk? Nah, let me tell you about my toxic relationship with Microsoft instead.

Electron apps took the "unused RAM is wasted RAM" philosophy and ran with it straight into the ground. That single Electron app casually munching on 6.73 TB of memory? Yeah, that's just Slack trying to display three channels and a gif. Meanwhile, Chrome is sitting in the corner nodding approvingly. The beauty of bundling an entire Chromium browser just to render some buttons is that you get to pretend memory constraints don't exist.

That 0.06Hz difference between 59.934 and 59.994 is keeping me up at night. It's like watching someone align UI elements by eye instead of using a grid system. Five years with that monitor and you never noticed? Your brain has probably been subconsciously twitching this whole time while you blamed it on too much caffeine. Pro tip: Real developers obsessively check every setting on new hardware, then never touch them again until the heat death of the universe. Or until Windows forces an update. Whichever comes first.
