[Technology] Complaints

I sometimes feel like most of my thoughts on technology in the past several years are too negative.  I mostly focus on deficiencies and frustrations.  I end up not wanting to share those, as they don't often feel constructive.  I think that's because it's easy to express them as a value judgement. 

I dislike criticising a technological choice while implying some sort of inferiority in the developers that made that choice.  People make bad choices, and so do I, but also many choices that appear "bad" are actually very reasonable given the context, and it's hard to know what that was.  So I don't like squawking about it.

That said, I think it might be worthwhile to sometimes express my issues with technology, as those are often the points I'm interested in trying to improve.  So I'll try to do some posts about that in the future.
