Quiz: What GUI Framework Am I Using

Content POV: You just asked a backend developer to center a div made with mematic ProdrammerHumor.io

Content People learning JavaScript: "I'II use array.sort() to sort this list of numbers!" JavaScript: a 5645,1, 21, 100000, 30, 4, 566, 561 1 (8) 5645, 1, 21, 100000, 30, 4, 566, 56 a.sort () (8) f1, 100000, 21, 30, 4, 56, 5645, 566

Frontend: a neat row of polished reaction buttons that users click without a second thought. Backend: absolute chaos of tiny creatures frantically running around, sweating, electrocuted, and desperately trying to process each reaction in real-time. That one-pixel-perfect button your designer insisted on? Yeah, it's powered by a poor backend dev having an existential crisis while juggling database transactions at 3 AM. Meanwhile, the frontend dev is already at happy hour showing off the "clean UI."

So you're checking if an email is already taken by sending it to the server, getting back a list of all registered emails , and then doing a client-side .includes() check? That's like asking the bank to give you everyone's account numbers just to verify yours doesn't exist yet. Not only is this a massive security vulnerability (congrats, you just leaked your entire user database to anyone with DevTools open), but it's also hilariously inefficient. Why return an array of potentially millions of emails when the server could just return a boolean? The backend dev is probably crying somewhere. The cherry on top? After doing all this client-side "validation," you're still showing success messages without any actual server confirmation. Chef's kiss of terrible architecture. 🤌

The optimistic "let's split the work" phase vs the reality of integration hell. What starts as a clean division of labor ("You do frontend, I'll do backend!") inevitably devolves into a catastrophic electrical storm when the two systems finally meet. Those peaceful smiles transform into thousand-yard stares as they desperately try to connect incompatible interfaces while questioning their career choices. The backend expects XML, the frontend sends JSON, and somehow both are using different authentication schemes. Integration day: where friendships die and Stack Overflow tabs multiply.
