Rant

The random rant of the week by xenor.

2017

There is nothing wrong to wish a better year and review what's been done last year, but when it's everywhere in social media, I started to ask myself, what are all those wishes and reviews for? Is it something people really wants to share or something to get others' attention on? I've been wondering the word "share" in social media for a long time.

In developers world, you share your work as open source and other devs can come and help or gets help by using it, but what can we get form others' share in social media? Happiness or sense of loss caused by other's happiness? Useful information or bias information looks useful because of a lot of likes/retweets?

I am probably cynical and you don't have to be like that. It's a brand new year and wish we all get something different this year :)
