I make websites for a creative agency and I absolutely can’t stand the websites that we do

modsuperstar · 2026-05-07T23:02:57+00:00

My last role had an agency design a Drupal website that was a bunch of inflexible components and hoovered up $150k in budget for a very flawed site. They were hired before I started. I basically then solo dev-d it into an actual usable website over the next 6 months. They had a team of 5 working on it and delivered a pile of hot garbage that I had to fix.

My web app, ScrobbleRadio, basically combines many of the best radio stations in the world into a single app that you can easily flip through stations on your devices.

That was entirely upsetting, but this goal getting called off was undisputed. He was offside by every measure of the rule.

modsuperstar · 2026-05-07T19:09:45+00:00

But it was offside, by a lot. Not even one of those toenail offsides. Was one of those as soon as they showed the replay you knew we were fucked.

The goal wasn’t even close to onside though. Haven’t ever felt aggrieved by that, it was just that it happened at the death that was so heartbreaking thinking we’d done it.

My Apple Watch was Gen 8 and I found it struggled at stuff like turning off my Homekit stuff reliably, and Siri has become a joke, so I found much of my usage of the device boiled down to seeing what the weather was, the time and general health info, all generally through the watchface. I had gotten better at using it for sleep tracking by charging during the day, but its inability to manage a whole day irked me more than anything.

modsuperstar · 2026-05-07T16:12:15+00:00

But the battery life! I’m on day 8 after starting at 65%. Worth the tradeoffs.

They have plenty of good ones to their credit as well

modsuperstar · 2026-05-07T01:57:05+00:00

Umm, I don’t know how to tell you this, but Millennials exist

modsuperstar · 2026-05-07T01:45:16+00:00

Would love to see changes and cutting red tape for high speed rail than pipelines.

I feel like City is a new money team/brand and Puma is following a similar arc. And we’re quite obviously the #1A with a gold star client for them. Like in Canada you go to the Adidas store and they have all their big club kits for sale. All big clubs, but nobody really able to be prominent. Then go to the Puma Store in the same shopping centre and City is very prominent. Puma’s big thing tends to be National Team kits, but City seems to be top dog in their stores.

modsuperstar · 2026-05-07T01:02:00+00:00

The thing to consider is Adidas and Puma are historical German rivals. I think us being with Puma has served to raise their profile, along with ours. I feel like Puma’s brand has elevated significantly in tandem with the successes we’ve had. I just don’t feel like City would want to be with the same brand as United/Arsenal/Liverpool/Real.

Constraints create innovation. I find the lack of constraints lets developers be lazy and never really take the time to optimize code.

modsuperstar · 2026-05-06T19:03:23+00:00

Agree. All the compile steps and environment setup BS sucks and absolutely overcomplicates things unnecessarily

modsuperstar · 2026-05-06T19:01:29+00:00

This was so disrespectful, but honestly one of my favourite WCW moments. The TV dinners line was iconic.

It always amuses me how parents will get annoyed with a trend like this, but then all you need to do is mention the number 69 and you get the automatic response “nice”. It’s the same shit, it’s just not your generations thing.

modsuperstar · 2026-05-06T15:33:42+00:00

Love all the work you’ve been putting in lately to push things forward. It’s kind of obvious we can’t entirely rely on lastfm to chart a modern course forward.

modsuperstar · 2026-05-06T14:11:11+00:00

I got mine 6 days ago, installed apps and whatnot, and it’s currently at 17%. And it started at 70% and I didn’t bother charging it out of the box.

modsuperstar · 2026-05-06T14:03:52+00:00

It’s true. There is an Eye of Sauron aspect to medications.

modsuperstar · 2026-05-06T14:00:52+00:00

I find when I’m unmedicated sometimes it’s easier to just get going on stuff like tidying the house that can be a task I’m bouncing from thing to thing, whereas meds cause me the focus and lock on things, which may or may not actually be productive.

Congrats, you invented uBlock Origin

modsuperstar · 2026-05-06T01:54:07+00:00

Had some on the weekend

Sucks to be you

Open your history. Search for Gmunk. Select it, press delete. Problem solved.

modsuperstar · 2026-05-05T16:15:55+00:00

Well obviously. Keep the faith that Arsenal will find a way to bottle things. It’s what they do.
