The Unholy Trinity Of Programming Errors

Ah, the inevitable JavaScript invasion question! The Social Security system runs on COBOL because it was built when dinosaurs roamed Silicon Valley. COBOL's delightful Y2K-ready feature: missing dates default to 1875, creating phantom 150-year-old benefit recipients. Meanwhile, JavaScript developers are wondering why they can't rewrite critical government infrastructure using npm packages that break every Tuesday. Because nothing says "reliable pension system" like a framework that's deprecated faster than milk expires. The real tragedy? If Social Security was written in JavaScript, those 150-year-olds would be getting NaN dollars per month while the system tries to figure out if their birthdate is truthy.

The eternal irony of web development—we can send rovers to Mars, build AI that beats humans at chess, and create virtual worlds... but centering a div? That's where humanity draws the line. The meme perfectly captures the absurdity that something seemingly so simple has remained one of frontend's most notorious headaches. Even with flex, grid, and countless Stack Overflow answers, we still circle that code button in frustration wondering why our perfectly crafted CSS betrays us. It's like needing a PhD just to put something in the middle of the screen.
