I Would Love To See "No" As An Option

The most passive-aggressive relationship in tech history: you coding something critical and Windows deciding it's the perfect time for an update. Notice how they give you the illusion of choice with "Restart now" or "Another time" or "OK" — but where's the "Go away forever and never interrupt me again" button? That code in the background looks like a socket connection, probably handling important data, and Windows is like "Cool story bro, but have you tried turning it off and on again?"

The Dual Faces Of Tech Support

The duality of tech support in 2023. On the left, Reddit: a chaotic but surprisingly helpful community where some random dev who had your exact issue 3 years ago posted a detailed solution at 3 AM. On the right, Microsoft Answers: a nightmarish hellscape where verified support agents suggest restarting your computer for kernel panic errors and mark issues as "solved" when the user gives up and buys a new machine. After 15 years in the industry, I've learned that the best debugging tool is often just a stranger on the internet who's angrier about the bug than you are.
