content: [RANT] Just what the fuck is wrong with programmers and their awful, usless and kludgy shit? Everything, everything is turning to shit each passing day. Everything is shitty abstraction layer over shitty platform over shitty webservices and everything is of awful quality. And the answer to all this? "Just install XYZ!" NO, FUCK YOU. I DON'T WANT TO INSTALL YOUR SHITTY PACKAGE MANAGER. FUCK ANACONDA, FUCK PIP, FUCK ALL SDKs. So I wanted to install Scrapy for Python on Windows (inb4 that's your problem, no it's fucking not, it was working perfectly some months ago). Easy, just run "pip install Scrapy"? Well, that's where you're fucking wrong, kiddo. It crapped on the middle of the installation because it was missing basetsd.h, and it recommended installing some Visual Studio shit which I'm not interested in installing but, oh well, let's install it anyway and THE FUCKING PROBLEM IS STILL THERE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK Now the recommended installation method is through Anaconda, one of those "we are gonna pack with no testing whatsoever a bunch of shit and if you don't like it, fork it, faggot." And of course, as soon as I wanted to install some other shit it broke other shit because, who gives a shit about everything working, right? Let's push yet another piece of unnecessary bloated software because WEB 3.0 SHINY UNRESPONSIVE INTERFACES ARE IN VOGUE NOW! I'm fucking jaded. This is just yet another example of shit on top of shit that will not be supported in 2 years time and will be replaced with some shit and may God save you from shit that's not interoperable with other shit cause you're in for a treat and when you manage to fix it, welp, here comes another untested update that will break all your shit! And it's not the programming world either. Try to store a blockchain from any cryptocurrency in another drive other than the default location. Instead of three clicks in the setup section you gotta search for barely documented parameters for the CLI in the hopes that some faggot asked the same thing you need on Quora because we are too smart to document shit! Maybe I need to drop the whole fucking thing and outsource what I need to people younger than me. Don't even get me started on Linux. You think I haven't tried to fucking migrate? It's like going back to square one every time I moved 3 steps forward because, lel, "the community" is more focused on a GPL dick measuring contest than on proper, functioning systems. Or maybe I need to integrate with aboriginals and talk to the forest spirit or whatever shit they do. I'm not smart enough to figure all this shit out and I'm not patient to deal with this. I'm stuck before I manage to compile a fucking "hello world" application.
