OTOH the doubling of ads they force down the throat of anyone noob enough not to be running an adblocker to pay for the fine will remain permanent.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You knew that Latin course would come in handy one day, didn't you?
(I'm more bugged that they didn't build it to the right dimensions.)
Looks up word origins - dang, I guess I should have gone with Greek to make the joke more accurate?

Yeah, some treehugger types removed the "monolith" saying "leave no trace" - a rabid religious mantra meaning nobody can every know a human was ever there. *snark*

Here we look at some of the ways in which decision fatigue and other frustrations that can manifest in software development, and the tools and methods that can be employed to combat them. Does not include the one where someone else always grabs the last slice of pizza

hahaha - what a silly, not even sure what to call it -- random pointless thought?
The most common developer frustration I have is not with tools and methods, it's with people. Sometimes users but often my coworkers and almost always management, and frequently third party companies and their awful API's. Oddly, present employment is excluded, but several third party companies I work with definitely are on the list.
Tools and methods, yes, they can help, but how many managers actually see the benefits of documentation, testing, automation, allocating time for code refactoring, etc.?
But to provide a rounded critique, ultimately my most common developer frustration is with myself, and the only mitigation for my own frustration is to constantly work on my own discipline for writing better code, better tests, better documentation, better processes that help me do my job. Not to mention, when I go back to some code I wrote 6 months or a year ago, be able to immediately understand why I wrote it "that way." And not just better, but with ease and joy. Yes, joy. If I don't walk into my home office enthusiastic with at least one thing that I need to do for the day, there's something wrong, and I need to look at that. Yes, there is always the "ok, I just have to slog through this" but I also try to foster a discipline of working on something every day that brings joy, whether it's writing a nice document or cleaning up some code or writing a useful utility. And of course the real discipline is doing the "slogging work" first and then rewarding myself with something more interesting.
Which could also be, taking a nap.

Much of the technology we use everyday has been shown to not serve their users best interest. So maybe companies will stop using chemical fertilizers in their apps, and just stick with the BS we're used to?
