The web development circle of life in all its painful glory. Thirty years of "innovation" and what do we have to show for it? A new framework every Tuesday designed to fix the problems created by last Thursday's framework. Meanwhile, jQuery—that ancient relic we've been trying to kill since Obama's first term—is still powering most of the internet like some unkillable cockroach after a nuclear apocalypse. The punchline isn't even the timeline of increasingly niche frameworks; it's that after all our architectural patterns, virtual DOMs, and reactive state management, we've somehow ended up exactly where we started. It's not progress; it's just fashion with semicolons.

Behold, the mathematical paradox that defines our existence! Half of programming is coding, yet somehow the other 90% is debugging. Wait... that's 140%? Exactly. Because debugging takes up more time than should be physically possible in our space-time continuum. The quote perfectly captures that magical moment when you write 20 lines of code in 10 minutes, then spend 5 hours trying to figure out why your perfectly logical code is producing results that would make even quantum physics blush with confusion. The math doesn't add up? Neither does your code. That's the point.
