Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

āI could code that in a weekendā techbro meets decades-grown safety nets, is very surprised at complexity
I havenāt dug deeper into their thing yet but some of the claims are a bit 𤨠too
Ultra trivialization is the blood of tech bros. Everything is so easy and everyone else is just so clueless. Boy met computer through hello world and thought thatās the pinnacle of computer science.
How long til some bright eyed influencer dev tries to take on JPL and MISRA? Itās always some middleware garbage these startups make and never a QNX competitor.
āQnx is hard and expensive, Iām sure we could get a production quality thing out with the esp-idf arduino target!!~ You devs so like to blow things out of proportionā
(while not an exact quote, extremely close to some shit Iāve heard from some people before)
Methinks that scalpel is a tad simpler than insulin pump, and considering that sometimes, there are unpatchable vulns found in the latter, iād really prefer not to see vibecoded driver for these kind of things. Would match nicely with vibe-lawyered compliance docs
Itās really only a matter of time before we get an assassination via bluetooth-enabled pacemaker or something, and itās going to be hell.
