me over the past few days: kinda tired about hearing about 3rd-party twitter apps breaking; how did you not see this coming a mile away, move on already

me today: OH WAIT this means nitter is broken. shit!

edit: apparently I had just picked a broken nitter instance; other ones seem to be working fine since it sounds like nitter scrapes its data instead of using the API

It is, of course, facile to say that Developer Experience doesn't matter (which is why I don't say that and never have).

At the same time, we can clearly see that a frontend culture that has decided that Developer Experience should win tiebreaks is morally bankrupt.

At this limit, this *should* trend towards "fsck DX", but only to the extent that DX has fsck'd users first.
