We Still Talk About You jQuery

jquery-memes, javascript-memes, frontend-memes, webdev-memes, legacy-code-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

jQuery is basically the ex that everyone still brings up at parties. Once the king of DOM manipulation and AJAX calls, jQuery made web development bearable back when Internet Explorer 6 was still haunting our nightmares. But now? It's buried six feet under, replaced by modern frameworks like React, Vue, and vanilla JavaScript that can actually do what jQuery did natively.

The thing is, we can't stop talking about it. Every "modern web dev" discussion somehow circles back to "remember when we needed jQuery for everything?" It's like that one friend from high school who peaked early—we've all moved on, but the memories (and the legacy codebases) remain. Somewhere out there, a dusty WordPress site is still running jQuery 1.4.2, and honestly? It's probably fine.

The Good Kind Of Developer Secret

The elite developer whispering to the junior: "They can debug with breakpoints and watch instead of prints and logs..." Meanwhile, the junior's mind is blown because they've been littering their code with console.log() statements like confetti at a parade. Sure, proper debugging tools have existed since the stone age of programming, but why use sophisticated tools when you can turn your terminal into an unreadable mess of "HERE1", "HERE2", and "WHY IS THIS UNDEFINED???" The real irony? Senior devs still resort to print statements when the debugger mysteriously stops working. We've all been there.
