Yes They Do Exist (The Frontend Masochists)

Content Clive Thompson pomeranian99 I'm bored of URL shorteners, so I'm gonna start using snipeyhead and mikelacher's "Shady URL": shadyurl.comcreate.php It takes any normal URL and turns it into something that looks like it'll click through to a super-dodgy site crawling with syphilitic javascript 100 ShadyURL Don't just shorten your URL, make it suspicious and frightening. http:www.clivethompson.net is now http:www.528.infocreditscorec1x4qqinitdownload Try another 4:45 pm 24 Sep 2020 Twitter Web App 43 Retweets 8 Quote Tweets 175 Likes

The dirty secret of app development: that fancy loading animation? Just Thread.sleep(5000) because the PM insisted on "showing progress." The client thinks we're doing complex calculations while the server's basically taking a nap. Sure, I could optimize the database query, but why bother when I can just shorten the artificial delay and look like a hero at the next sprint review?

The crossover nobody asked for but everyone needed: Death Note meets web development! Light Yagami just discovered the ultimate weapon against buggy websites - simply write "JavaScript" in the Death Note and watch as every single webpage within a 50-mile radius crashes immediately. The callback hell is about to get a whole new meaning. Somewhere in Silicon Valley, a senior developer just felt a cold shiver down their spine without knowing why. That smirk says it all - he's not killing people, he's killing everyone's productivity for the next sprint.

Content Jim devNextDoor i made a terminal alias like: "gpono 1""git push origin 1 --no-verify" now every time I am about to push I type "git push origi.." and then realise I have an alias, so I delete that and write gpono branch thus doubling my time to push. Genius as usual. 12:36 AM Aug 4, 2022 Twitter for Web App 2 Retweets 34 Likes 17

The duality of programmer existence in stick figure form! On the left, a red error has our stick friend in full existential meltdown mode: "Holy shit we're all gonna die!!!!" Meanwhile, on the right, a yellow warning could literally be announcing the heat death of the universe, and our programmer is just... snoozing through it. Warnings are basically just spicy comments at this point. Your code has 47 warnings? Whatever, ship it. But ONE error? Time to question your career choices, update your resume, and possibly fake your own death.
