This, but for online shops, especially clothing. Horrendously buggy, laggy, with broken navigation (especially when navigating back), filters that don't work on > 95% of online stores. Why they wouldn't fix their primary (or at the very least highest margin) income stream is beyond me, but I've had to abandon so many shopping carts just because the checkout flow is literally broken.
This is my exact experience, but with Google Maps. Constantly suggesting gravel (or worse) side roads instead of highways and hallucinating multiple turn lanes etc on a country road about 1 car wide. It's been a few years, but I still remember the time I was in Berlin and buses didn't run due to bad weather, but I had a flight to catch so I had to walk to the Tegel airport and the route Google maps recommended ended up being quite an adventure, having to crawl through a hole in a linked fence on an unlit dead-end road next to the airport.

Maybe not applicable in this case, but Github has a ridiculously low threshold for when it starts hiding diffs. Probably a limitation of their new React frontend.

This is the primary issue with Rails in my experience. It takes intentional effort to internalize the idioms before it clicks and you unlock the magic that makes it so insanely productive. JS devs will keep trying to force backend business logic into Franken-React Stimulus components and complaining it's not very good.
Yes, I've seen that, too. The rails way of doing things can feel like a terrible limitation to some developers, while others enthusiastically embrace it

This is so painful... I can't help but wonder who they're trying to target with such inane slogans.
Rails is amazing, but "token-efficiency" is not on the list of reasons why.
Having grown up playing with LEGOs, I can still distinctly remember the feeling of sore fingers pulling tiny pieces apart after a long session. It wasn't until a few years ago I learned there's an official brick separator tool [1]. Would've changed my life as a kid.
