it’s very depressing working in a field full of shit standards which only exist because some startup bro spent like a weekend throwing it together and it took off on twitter and now there are five interoperable implementations which no competitor will ever be able to usurp

heaven forbid one of those implementations be open source because then it will within a year be held together by the struggling efforts of an unrecognized generally good queer weirdo despite the fact that the original code was written by a friend of a literal nazi, and then it becomes impossible to tell whether supporting it is good or not

@Lady I feel this so much and so often.

“i’m so genius i made a thing which thousands of people use” no, you’re trash and your thing is trash, you’re just popular
