Two cats staring at a laptop screen is the perfect metaphor for what happens when leadership tries to center a div. They'll spend hours looking at the screen, trying different combinations of margin: auto , display: flex , and justify-content: center before eventually giving up and using absolute positioning with negative margins.

Ah, the classic JavaScript ecosystem paranoia. For the uninitiated, Shai Hulud 3 is referencing the giant sandworms from Dune that devour everything in their path—much like how npm packages sometimes go rogue and wreak havoc on your system. When your trust in the npm ecosystem has been shattered by one too many packages trying to mine crypto on your machine or accidentally nuking your files, you start getting creative with your defensive strategies.

Imagine a world where you set your cookie preferences ONCE instead of clicking "Reject All" 47 times per day like some deranged cookie-hating woodpecker. But no—that would be too convenient.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are trapped in cookie banner hell, our fingers developing repetitive strain injuries from declining tracking on the same sites we visited yesterday.
