Frontend developers looking at CSS like it's some mystical treasure that will solve all their layout problems. Then they actually try to center a div vertically and suddenly that treasure turns into a cursed object. The face of regret in the third panel is the universal expression of someone who just realized they need to support Internet Explorer.

Content ?php header ("Content-type: texthtml; charsetutf-8"); This is a warning to any poor soul who may have to deal with this code. I took over this criminal piece of chaos from a monkey named Joel who I assume had been given a typewriter by Mephistopheles himself. For reasons I have yet been unable to fathom, he decided to patch together this thing using a BaseX setup hardwired into an unfixably broken Manjaro VM, queried by a handwritten plate of uncommented PH spaghetti fit to feed an army of people with a serious death wish, without any framework or CMS. The very long BaseX script, very long PH presenter and very long XSLT stylesheet mostly perform the same heuristic document structuring for different components and are supposed to produce compatible results, but I bet they have mismatches somewhere. Since Prof. T just wanted a few small functional enhancements, I decided to just patch it and keep the general setup. Unless you were hired to correct some spelling mistakes, DO NOT FOLLOW IN MY STEPS. Putting up with this simulation of how a goldfish would design a system has literally given me CLINICAL DEPRESSION. This is not an exaggeration, I am writing this after a prolonged medical therapy - mostly successful, thanks for asking, but not fun. I wouldn't wish this code on anybody who isn't a manager at Oracle or Facebook, and therefore give you this sincere advice: Nuke this. Take the XSLT if you must, and then nuke the app and recreate it in Django or whatever works for you. I would do it myself, but I risked a relapse simply by opening this file again to write this comment. Dear brother or sister, I wish you all the luck and strength in the world and hope it will be enough.

Nothing says "I'm a developer with commitment issues" quite like this sticker pack. VSCode for when you want an editor that's somehow both lightweight and RAM-hungry. ReactJS because you enjoy rewriting your components every six months when the API changes. Rust for when you need to tell everyone at the coffee shop that you care about memory safety. PHP because legacy code never dies, it just smells that way. GitHub because where else would you store the 47 half-finished side projects you'll never complete? Ubuntu for when you want Linux without the street cred. JavaScript because you've accepted that type coercion is just life's way of keeping you humble. And finally, the Go gopher – the mascot that reminds you that simplicity is great until you need generics.

Finnish prison rehabilitation just got savage! The meme shows someone crying while being sentenced to learn JavaScript for two years. Let's be honest - spending two years with JavaScript's quirky type coercion, callback hell, and "undefined is not a function" errors might actually be worse than traditional incarceration. At least in regular prison you don't have to deal with npm dependency nightmares or figure out why your promises are eternally pending. The judge clearly knows true punishment when he sees it!

Content Why do many people choose computer science as a major? Terry Lambert Follow Physicist, Mathematician, Computer scientist Dec 3 A lot of them do it because they think they will get a big payday, work 9-5, and be able to buy a jetski and a trophy spouse, a dog, and 2.5 kids. These people generally fail to get their payday. For others, it's a driving compulsion to be "god over the little box under the desk" These people can be moderately successful, but they tend to be just as obsessive in other parts of their life, and so they self-sabotage. And other people do it because "it's their calling", and the have the proper attributes, like a very large short term memory, a knack for problem solving, a knack for seeing things as a system built up from discrete components, are good with languages, particularly punning, such that computer languages come easy to them. These aren't all the attributes, but these people tend to be highly successful. 74.9K views View 280 upvotes View 1 share Answer requested by Roeen
