Someone Needs To Do Better

The eternal HTML debate strikes again! When someone tweets "I'm sick" and follows up with "of these haters saying HTML isn't a real programming language," they've perfectly executed the classic bait-and-switch that divides developers everywhere. Let's be honest - nothing triggers a coding flame war faster than questioning HTML's programming language status. It's the developer equivalent of saying "I put pineapple on pizza" and watching the world burn. Meanwhile, CSS developers are quietly watching from the corner, hoping nobody notices them next...

Your elegant 20-line function at the top (the cat) vs the absolute monstrosity of dependencies it requires to run (the overloaded truck). That tiny NPM package you installed? Surprise!

Companies say they want honest developers until you actually tell them the truth. "Sorry boss, can't implement that water feature because I didn't code the swimming animation. Would take 3 sprints and blow the budget." Next thing you know, you're labeled as "not a team player" for refusing to build a physics engine overnight. The real MVP is the dev who put up that sign instead of letting users drown in unfinished features.
