Tale as old as song. Just another programmer hating on everything.

My Thoughts

My experience

  • C: Mostly embedded programming. I don’t really know how to deal with memory allocation in the real world — I never had memory to allocate.

  • JavaScript: I’ve been doing this for far too long.

  • Kotlin: What’s the point of being the nicest language ever if no one wants you to use it?

  • Java: Just use Kotlin.

  • Go: Just use this instead of throwing JavaScript at everything.

  • PostgreSQL: Better yet, do everything here. It can do anything.

  • MySQL: Just use Postgres.

  • Zig: Yeah sure, I can make a ToDo app. (I think.)

  • ELK Stack: You’ll know if you need it.

  • DevOps: Yeah, sure — I can SSH into something from time to time.

  • Redis: You probably don’t need it, but someone will ask you to add it anyway.

  • Kafka: Please touch grass. You didn’t need Redis — you definitely don’t need Kafka. Wake up.

  • HTML: Repeat after me: "YOU DON’T NEED REACT."

  • Vue.js: If you do need React, just use Vue instead. Or literally anything else. Are you crazy?
