Please no, I hate using any voice control, even if it works well. Sometimes, especially when I am alone, I do not want to speak.
Thanks stranger, for speaking up for all of us that hate voice control. Sometimes I just want quiet.

This must have taken them a really long time. That worries me, don't they have other things to do? If engineers have so much free time that they can work on nice & fun things like this that aren't totally necessary, they must have overhired (which is wasteful and a sign of impending layoffs) or they don't have enough actual work to do (which is a sign the company is stagnating).
Or the time and money required to do this is coming out of a very large advertising bucket. In which case my gut is still not cool with it, but I don't know enough about advertising to make a judgment on if this is a waste of money.
This is why we can't have nice things...
> When I tell people I work on authentication software, I nearly always hear some version of the same story: I hate multifactor authentication. No, really. People hate this stuff.
I hate all of the half-cooked non-TOTP MFA methods that I'm forced to use. Just let me use my freaking authenticator app. If you believe that your users prefer (or maybe it's just you?) more databroker-friendly methods, then fine, but please at least provide TOTP as an option.
Yes, for the love of god and all that is holy, just let me use TOTP for MFA. I absolutely HATE that some banks use SMS as a method of MFA. Sometimes it's a mix of 8 character numeric password with SMS as MFA.
That's more of a takedown of whoever built the Gitlab tool than Mermaid itself.
In the world where LLM's are very good at mermaid diagrams is the syntax even that terribly important?
What a terrible take
Had these exact same thoughts while I was configuring a series of workflows and scripts to get around the multiple unjustified and longstanding restrictions on what things are allowed to happen when.
That sinking feeling when you search for how to do something and all of the top results are issues that were opened over a decade ago...
It is especially painful trying to use github to do anything useful at all after being spoiled by working exclusively from a locally hosted gitlab instance. I gave up on trying to get things to cache correctly after a few attempts of following their documentation, it's not like I'm paying for it.
Was also very surprised to see that the recommended/suggested default configuration that runs CodeQL had burned over 2600 minutes of actions in just a day of light use, nearly doubling the total I had from weeks of sustained heavy utilization. Who's paying for that??
I've been saying for years, GitHub Actions is alpha software.
Can you guys shut up about Trump just for a second? This is not about the United States.

I sincerely don't understand how devs that use macOS put up with this crap. I remember getting a Macbook M1 from the company I used to work for and the battery life was amazing, but as soon as I needed to install Xcode I just gave up. It's unbelievably bad, fuck that.

It's crazy to me that in 2025 we still haven't figured out python dependency management
Dependency management and imports (without a proper namespace solution) make me angry beyond reason. I love and hate Python.

I'd like to give you a virtual cookie, for being the only person in the comments so far to spell out what SIEM stands for.
I appreciate you.
Seriously, this is getting out of hand in the cybersecurity space. SAST, DAST, SBOM, WAF, SOAR, TPRM, NGFW, MSSP...
Thanks, enshittification.
