The eternal cycle of React development: you close your eyes for a brief moment of peace, and boom—another CVE drops. It's like playing whack-a-mole with your dependencies, except the moles are security vulnerabilities and the hammer is your rapidly deteriorating mental health. React's ecosystem moves so fast that by the time you finish your morning coffee, three new vulnerabilities have been discovered, two packages you depend on are deprecated, and someone on Twitter is already dunking on your tech stack. The tinfoil hat cat perfectly captures that paranoid developer energy when you realize your "npm audit" output looks like a CVE encyclopedia. Pro tip: Just run npm audit fix --force and pray nothing breaks. What could possibly go wrong?

Listen, there are certain sacred traditions in coding that you just don't question. Using i and j as loop variables isn't a choice—it's practically written in the ancient scrolls of computer science. Passed down from the FORTRAN elders to every generation since. Try using pancake and waffle as your nested loop variables during a code review and watch your senior dev have an existential crisis. The programming gods will smite you with merge conflicts for the rest of eternity. Sure, we could use more descriptive variable names, but that would be... reasonable? And we can't have that. IT'S THE LAW!

Ancient Egyptians built massive pyramids with nothing but stone tools and manpower. Meanwhile, modern developers need sixteen JavaScript frameworks, three cloud subscriptions, and a $3000 MacBook Pro with 64GB RAM just to center a div. And they still complain about the Wi-Fi being slow.
