@joby I wholeheartedly agree. And most devs probably do, too. Unfortunately they don't make that crap by choice. The problem here are the fuckers with money calling the shots.
@starsider @joby My thoughts as well.

@joby Those would most likely not be programmer decisions, more like management/marketing.

@joby but do you want to ACCEPT ALL cookies or do you prefer to go into a menu and unselect 300 toggles?

@oskard Or option
Use a browser plugin that hides the prompt, but now a bunch of stuff doesn't work because we all hold the functionally-necessary cookies hostage behind that stupid prompt. -

@joby
I’d pay $5 to be able to mega-boost this post. -
@joby as corollary.. anyone coding a modal dialog with an option "Maybe later" can go to hell....

@bolderbekah You're not wrong, but it ultimately takes two to tango. I feel like a lot of programmers just utterly divorce themselves from the consequences of their work. Honestly a lot of people in general do that, because unethical jobs often pay well.
Like I could probably double or triple my salary by getting a job at our local national labs or some defense contractor, but ... I like how working on my silly little university websites means the code I write will never kill anybody. That's like one of my number one job perks.

@neverbeaten @dplattsf Right? I'd accept three options, as long as one of them is "leave me alone forever"

@neverbeaten @joby or for me, I will probably keep coming to your site and then immediately leaving with a great feeling of resentment until I remember to tell Kagi to never show me your stupid fucking site in search results again.
