It's almost disgusting to me tbh, for the first time I find it actually easy to unplug and go do offline things, whatever I want to explore online is hidden behind a forest of synth slop I can't even bother looking at anymore
This design is terrible for desks, they all end up sagging after a few years of use. Their "SANDSBERG" kitchen table is a much better choice for a desk, no cardboard and metal reinforced
It’s cardboard covered with a thin layer of plastic and wood. People buying this aren’t doing it for longevity. It’s so they can spend $15 on a side table for their college dorm.
I like the idea of not buying disposable furnitures, especially when there are alternatives at the same price. I can stand on my current desk (the ikea kitchen table) with my full weight and probably jump on it, the previous one was bowing if I did as little as resting my elbows on it

I remember watching a documentary in which they tracked a package of coffee returned to amazon (unopened). It traveled through half of Europe to end up in an incinerator in Slovakia, which is funny because amazon doesn't even operate there.
Big companies are doing a lot of weird shit because at their scale if it's even 1ct cheaper to burn 10 coffee pods vs reprocessing them back in their store it's going to make a huge difference in the long run.
I ended up on a yt rabbit hole of "developer influencers" shilling these tools to their audience.
It looks like a sub category of wantrepreneurs who pray on wannabe developers. They never worked on anything of importance but cosplay as domain experts and sell their expertise to people who don't know better. "how I launched 23 successful SaaS in q4 2025 with clawdbot" type of videos
They haven't written code in years seeing how their piece of shit desktop app uses more ram and cpu cycles to stream 192kbps music in a day than the entire NASA stack for all Apollo missions combined. They should ask Claude to rewrite it in a real programming language
I just read it as "we were stuck and nobody got something done at all" to "we at least got something deployed". Going from zero to something mathematically speaking a very large increase (like infinite?).
