You don't pay me to think. Oh, wait, you do.

C: Mostly embedded programming. I don’t really know how to deal with memory allocation in the real world: I've never had memory to allocate before.
JavaScript: npm -> yarn -> pnpm -> bun -> npm
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.
DuckDB: Columns, columns, columns. What's concurrency?
MySQL: Just use Postgres.
MongoDB: No, John, you're not revolutionary. Do you know what we had before SQL? Yes, NoSQL.
Zig: Where's my allocator?
Rust: Goodbye segfault, hello ABA.
ELK Stack: Are you rich?
Grafana: Kibana is prettier though.
DevOps: tf destroy && pulumi up
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?
