Front vs. Back: The Eternal Illusion

frontend-memes, backend-memes, user-experience-memes, web-development-memes, developer-life-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The user, blissfully unaware, thinks they're interacting with a beautiful frontend while the backend developer lurks behind the scenes making everything actually work. The frontend gets all the praise for being pretty, while the backend carries the entire application on its shoulders. Tale as old as time: users only care about what they can see, not the complex machinery keeping the whole operation from imploding. That backend developer's face says it all - "You're welcome for making this thing functional while the frontend gets all the credit."

Do Not Anger The Elephant

Ever start a casual conversation about databases at a party and suddenly there's a PostgreSQL evangelist in your kitchen? The elephant in the room—literally. That's what happens when you mention databases around a Postgres fan. They materialize out of nowhere, tusks ready, prepared to lecture you about ACID compliance and JSON support while you're just trying to wash your dishes. The most dangerous words in tech aren't "I'll fix it in production"—they're "MySQL is fine for my needs."
