Parsing UTF-8 Isn't Unicode Support

The classic "we support Unicode" lie exposed in three painful acts. Sure, your app can parse UTF-8 and display emoji, but ask about combining characters or bidirectional text and suddenly everyone's looking at their shoes. It's like saying "I speak Spanish" because you can order a burrito. The true Unicode experience isn't just showing 💩 emoji – it's handling Arabic text flowing right-to-left while your English flows left-to-right without having an existential crisis. The silence after "what's that?" is the sound of technical debt being born.

Somebody Please Fix This

Ever opened a minified JavaScript file and watched your editor have a seizure? That's the top panel – text editors absolutely losing their minds when they encounter 20 million characters crammed into one unholy line. But 20 million separate lines? No problem! Text editors handle that with a smile, like they're saying "this is fine" while secretly burning your CPU cycles. After 15 years of development, we've perfected everything except making editors that don't choke on production code. The irony is just *chef's kiss*.

Everything Is CRUD

Everything Is CRUD

The bell curve of developer intelligence strikes again. The 55 IQ junior dev thinks everything is just CRUD because they've only built simple apps. The 145 IQ senior architect also thinks everything is CRUD because after years of overengineering, they've realized most problems boil down to "create, read, update, delete" with fancy clothes on. Meanwhile, the 100 IQ mid-level developer is sweating about "complex architectures and states" because they're just experienced enough to know how complicated things can get, but not wise enough to see the underlying simplicity. The circle of developer life.
