I wonder where you live for that to be true, in my experience everyone just complains all the time about the previous guys' craftsmanship and that's especially true in trade and engineering. > restaurants KitchenConfidential is a subreddit dedicated to complaining about shitty customers. > construction If you don't hang out with construction worker, you can find almost any YouTube video that goes over some aspect of homebuilding, scroll down and see comments with "As a carpenter of 15 years that guy is a moron for X and Y". > teaching I don't have public examples of that one but a lot of my friends are teacher and they are an absolute blast to be around because they keep complaining about stupid helicopter parents, overbearing principals and other bad encounters. No idea what kind of teacher you hang out with. Same goes for doctor and nurses btw, put two of them together in a room and they will start complaining about patient X and Y. > IT Support There are 4-5 subreddits like TalesFromTechSupport that are literally only stories from IT technicians. All of the above to say, really happy for you if Software Engineers are the ones that complain the most.

You're right, my post is hyperbole. However, creating a blog for your complaints seems unique to software developers, lol.

  Outside of SEO, marketing, and other sales-adjacent purposes, software developers are some of the only people with indie blogs anymore, which I think explains this. The practical difference between posting on my blog about ugly code and posting on a subreddit/forum about ugly code is primarily who owns the data and where it is stored. The restaurant workers are still doing a similar type of venting.

  I don't think it's that unique, it's just that creating your own website (even if it's a hosted blog of medium or whatever) is not really something most people do. Plenty of people complain about their job on reddit or twitter or tiktok or whatever. Internet is full of it.
