Complain About Software

A lonnnng time ago I wrote in my old blog “Complain about software by writing software.” I didn’t realize it at the time but I was cribbing a somewhat common phrase amongst DIYers about making things to combat the existence of existing things.

Anyway, it got quoted in a book and every once in a while people will echo it back at me. It’s nice when it happens and I like that it inspires people but I don’t think I was saying anything groundbreaking.

However, today I kept feeling annoyed by some decisions a lot of platforms are making. I kept walking around the house and finding myself spiraling about these really dumb ideas about social media and wishing I could do something about it.

Anyway, today I started doing something about it. I’m complaining about those decisions the only real way I know how: by making some software.
