It's All Boxes? Always Has Been.

The existential crisis every frontend dev faces when they realize the entire web is just rectangles inside rectangles inside more rectangles. The box model isn't just a concept—it's the fabric of reality. And those red outlines? That's just the dev tools inspect element showing us the harsh truth we've been trying to ignore for decades. Everything is a box. Your div, your span, your hopes, your dreams... all boxes.

They Don't Know How To Join Tables

Frontend developers getting roasted harder than the CPU running their npm install. The joke hinges on SQL's JOIN operation - something backend folks use to combine data from multiple database tables. Meanwhile, frontend devs are over there positioning divs and arguing about whether dark mode should be activated based on system preferences or user choice. Can't blame them though - hard to join tables when all you've ever joined is another JavaScript framework bandwagon.

When Worlds Collide: Backend Meets Frontend

Ah, the classic "I'll just quickly fix that for you" disaster. When backend developers venture into frontend territory, you get this monstrosity—a digital clock awkwardly taped to an analog one. It's the coding equivalent of fixing a leaky pipe with bubble gum and a prayer. The backend dev probably thought, "Why redesign the whole interface when I can just slap my solution on top?" Classic case of "it works on my machine" syndrome. The cherry on top? That smug little digital display reading 6:49, completely ignoring the elegant analog design around it. This is what happens when someone who thinks in database queries tries to handle UI/UX.

This Is What Hard Coding Looks Like

The ultimate programmer dad joke has arrived! This meme shows a mattress literally shaped like the letter "S" between two bed frames - making it "hard-coded" in the most physical sense possible. It's what happens when you take programming terms literally. This is exactly what your senior developer warned you about when they said "don't hardcode values!" Now we know why - your code ends up sleeping uncomfortably and waking up with back problems. The only thing more painful than maintaining this bed would be maintaining the legacy code it represents.
