Web designers will fight you to the death over importing a 500KB custom font file that looks exactly like Arial but costs $299 per year. Meanwhile, developers are out here begging on their knees: "Please, just use system-ui . It's free, it's fast, it loads instantly, and users already have it!" But no. Designers see font-family: system-ui; and experience genuine psychological horror. That simple CSS declaration represents everything they fear: practicality over aesthetics, performance over perfection, and the terrifying possibility that maybe, just maybe, Helvetica Neue is good enough. The best part? Users literally cannot tell the difference. But that 3-second load time from your Google Fonts import? They definitely notice that.

When you've been writing JavaScript for so long that you forget how to use normal words anymore. That moment when someone says "use using" and your brain immediately autocorrects it to using use = useUsing("use") because you've been drowning in React hooks for the past 6 months. The guy whispering looks like he just discovered a revolutionary pattern while the other dude is having an existential crisis realizing he's been useState -ing, useEffect -ing, and useContext -ing so much that the word "use" has lost all semantic meaning. Welcome to the hook life, where everything is a use and nothing hurts... except your sanity.

The mobile developer's version of "bring your kids to work day" gone horribly wrong. Someone just wrapped their children in a LiquidGlassView component, which I'm pretty sure violates both React Native best practices AND several childcare laws. The real tragedy? Those kids are now stuck with a terrible UI refresh rate and probably no escape method. Should've used ScrollView so they could at least swipe away from their parent's terrible coding decisions.

Choosing JavaScript over TypeScript is like pouring concrete without forms. Sure, it's faster at first—you just dump it wherever and call it a day. But three months later, when you're trying to figure out why undefined is not a function for the 47th time, you'll wish you had some structure. The clown lurking in the sewer drain represents your future self, waiting to remind you that dynamic typing seemed like a good idea... until it wasn't.
