Yes, I Wrote That Thing 😭

Let's be honest - JSON is what happens when you give CSV a makeover and tell it to wear a suit to the interview. Sure, it's got fancy curly braces and proper nesting, but strip away the syntactic sugar and what do you have? The same damn tabular data with extra steps. Every frontend dev who's spent hours parsing nested JSON only to flatten it into a simple table for display knows that feeling of "why did we even bother?" Meanwhile, TOML and YAML are sitting in the corner wondering why JSON gets all the attention when they've been better options all along. The cat's reaction perfectly captures that moment when you realize your API could've just returned a simple CSV and saved everyone 40% of the bandwidth.

The eternal web development paradox: a site proudly announces it "doesn't use cookies" while clearly failing to remember you already dismissed this notification. Nothing says "we respect your privacy" quite like forcing you to click the same damn button every time you visit. Somewhere, a frontend developer is laughing maniacally while deliberately not implementing localStorage either.

Ah, the eternal dilemma of legacy maintenance. Do you want to decipher cryptic Fortran from the moon landing era or try to understand whatever framework-of-the-month some junior dev installed because they saw it on a YouTube tutorial? The cold sweat is real. Ancient code at least has the excuse of being written when computers had less memory than your coffee maker. Modern "vibe code" was written yesterday by someone who named all their variables after their favorite anime characters. Either way, you're the poor soul who has to maintain it until retirement or sweet release, whichever comes first.

The existential crisis every front-end dev eventually faces – CSS isn't some mystical language, it's literally just boxes inside boxes inside more boxes! The astronaut's revelation is every developer after their first week of actually understanding the box model. And that red outline? Chef's kiss representation of border: 1px solid red; – the universal debugging technique when your layout breaks for the 47th time today. Flexbox and Grid were just elaborate lies to make us feel better about arranging rectangles.
