Disappointment thread

Share your disappointments, progriders. Large or small.

I'll start with two:

1) In my career, I didn't end up doing simulations of interesting systems, just conversions of enterprise data between systems whose architects didn't talk to each other and liked padding their resumes with obscure data formats.

2) The Java annotation @VisibleForTesting looks cool the first time you see it, because you think ``Oh, cool. Automatic reflected access unrestriction under my testing framework!''. But actually it doesn't do anything at all. Shit, man, if you want me to comment // public, not private, for injection in integration tests I can do that already.

Intel is supporting Javashit both openly and discreetly, because they know excessive sandboxing is the only way of maintaining the obsolescence curve for personal machines and keeping 3rd-party-cast processors out of the market.

I always felt like JavaScript was also a scam to sell faster CPUs all the time. All the fucking bloat that does nothing yet takes a shitload of CPU power. I used to have a 400 MHz machine, but I had to get a new 1.50 GHz one because web browsing was too fucking slow. Fuck you web hipsters who think poorly reinventing the wheel in JavaScript is a good idea. Fuck you Google Docs. Fuck you JavaScript.
