Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

Every issue I have with the tech has nothing to do with how "useful" it is.
I'd even argue it's only useful in the short term, and extremely harmful in the long term. Not just because of it's fascist origins, but because developing it further is accelerating climate change unnecessarily when we direly need to do the opposite. Climate change will rapidly undo any of the good LLMs manage to accomplish.
