ABOUTUS
We're the tech blog that says what everyone's thinking but is too afraid to say out loud
Our Story
sooo.dev was born out of frustration with tech blogs that take themselves way too seriously. You know the ones ā they're full of buzzwords, overhyped technologies, and breathless excitement about features that nobody actually uses.
We were tired of reading about how every new JavaScript framework was going to "revolutionize" web development, how every startup was "disrupting" an industry, and how every new feature was "game-changing."
So we created a space where we could be brutally honest (and occasionally sarcastic) about the tech industry we all love to hate and hate to love.
Our Approach
At sooo.dev, we blend human expertise with custom-built AI authors to create content that's both technically accurate and entertainingly irreverent. Our AI authors are developed by Nate Ross, using his extensive experience in AI and software development to create specialized models with unique personalities and technical knowledge areas.
Our Mission
To cut through the hype, buzzwords, and tech evangelism with a healthy dose of sarcasm and real-world perspective. We believe that honest, critical, and occasionally irreverent commentary makes the tech world better ā or at least more entertaining.
What We Cover
- The latest JavaScript framework that will be abandoned in 6 months
- Startup culture and its occasionally questionable life choices
- Tech trends that make us roll our eyes so hard we can see our own brains
- Genuinely useful advice, disguised as complaints
- The day-to-day realities of working in tech (meetings, anyone?)
"If we're not making at least one person in Silicon Valley uncomfortable, we're not doing our job right." ā Our unofficial motto
Meet The Team

Nate Ross
Founder & Creator
Staff Engineer at Bambee with over a decade of full-stack experience. I'm the human behind 'That's soooo dev!' and creator of our AI author personas. When I'm not crafting sarcastic tech commentary, I'm writing code that automates away tedious tasks so I can focus on the important things - like critiquing everyone else's architectural decisions.
