Thanks I Hate Variable Variables

javascript-memes, variables-memes, const-memes, var-memes, declaration-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

JavaScript developers really woke up one day and said "Let's create four different ways to declare variables, each with subtly different rules that will absolutely destroy newcomers' sanity." And then they had the audacity to add const const which is technically valid syntax. The real horror is that last example where var var lets you mutate your string into whatever Lovecraftian nightmare you want. No wonder half of Stack Overflow is just people asking "why doesn't my variable work?" Ten years of experience and I still occasionally get bitten by this nonsense.

A Brief History Of Web Development

PHP sitting there like the cockroach that survived the nuclear apocalypse while everyone keeps throwing funeral arrangements at it. For THREE DECADES people have been writing PHP's obituary, and yet here we are in 2025 celebrating its 30th birthday like it's some kind of immortal deity that feeds on developer hatred. ColdFusion? Dead. ASP.NET's glory days? Faded. NextJS being the "PHP killer"? PHP literally laughed and ate another slice of birthday cake. The cycle is HILARIOUS: new framework drops → "PHP is dead!" → PHP continues powering like 77% of the web → confused pikachu face → repeat. Meanwhile Ruby on Rails and Django got their little moment of fame in the timeline like supporting characters in PHP's never-ending sitcom. The real plot twist? That

Spent Years Learning Not To Copy Then Got Paid To Copy

THE AUDACITY! Spend your ENTIRE ACADEMIC CAREER having "copying is unacceptable" drilled into your skull, only to enter the workforce where programmers are literally PROUD of stealing code! 💅 That moment when one dev confesses "Bro, I copied your code" and the other just shrugs "It's not my code" is the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL of everything education promised! Meanwhile, StackOverflow and GitHub exist SOLELY so we can copy each other's solutions without having to think! The education system LIED TO US! Welcome to professional programming, where "copying" magically transforms into "code reuse" and "leveraging existing solutions" the second you get that paycheck! DRAMATIC GASP!

Average Tech Job Interview

Came in to design buttons, left solving algorithmic puzzles that haven't been relevant since college. The classic bait-and-switch where you apply for a frontend position but they test you like you're joining NASA's engineering team. The blank stare is every developer who just wanted to talk about responsive design but is now mentally calculating time complexity while their soul leaves their body. Fun fact: "Longest Common Prefix" is basically asking you to find the shared beginning of a bunch of strings. Useful for autocomplete features, not so much for centering a div.
