CSS In The Wild

The grumpy tech veteran's manifesto has arrived! This is basically what happens when someone who's written actual production code for a decade watches the latest batch of "I built a startup with no-code tools and vibes" TikToks. The screenshots are pure gold - one poor soul storing passwords in a CSV file (security professionals just felt a disturbance in the force), while another "SaaS founder" is shocked that people are actually using their API in ways they didn't anticipate. Revolutionary! And that emoji-based developer bio at the bottom? Chef's kiss. Nothing says "I definitely know what I'm doing" like introducing yourself with three random tech logos instead of, you know, actual skills. Ten years ago we called these people "script kiddies." Now they're "founders" with 50K Twitter followers explaining why your engineering team is doing it wrong.

Content alwaysHasBeen wait, it's all Javascript?

The eternal dance of software development in four panels! The customer complains about slowness, and the developer responds with a deadpan "ok" - classic engineering apathy. But then, plot twist! The developer actually optimizes the code for 200% performance improvement, and instead of celebration, the customer's response is pure product management energy: "great now we can add more features." This is why we can't have nice things in tech. You optimize the codebase only for it to become a justification to pile on more technical debt. The performance gains aren't for user experience—they're just to make room for more bloat!
