There's No Place Like Localhost

13 days ago 168.6K views 1 shares

The classic "I'm basically a developer now" phase strikes again! Someone downloaded Cursor (a coding-focused text editor) and immediately declared themselves an engineer. Their groundbreaking achievement? Running a local development server and sharing the legendary localhost:3000 link like they've created the next Facebook. Reminds me of that time my nephew installed Python and started calling himself a "machine learning specialist." The localhost link is essentially showing their friend a website that only exists on their own computer - like inviting someone to a party at your house but not giving them your address.

Beginner Game Dev Things

The eternal struggle of game development newbies: having a crystal-clear vision of what your code should accomplish but being completely clueless about how to actually write it. It's like knowing exactly what dish you want to cook but not knowing which end of the knife to hold. The brain says "epic RPG with procedurally generated worlds" but the fingers type "how to print hello world in Unity" for the fifth time today.

When You Only Know HTML

Ah yes, the classic "I can build a website" phase we all went through. This building is literally half-finished—just like any "web application" built with HTML alone. Sure, it has structure, but no functionality whatsoever. It's the coding equivalent of bringing a spoon to a gunfight. The poor thing is just sitting there, static and lifeless, desperately waiting for someone to introduce it to CSS and JavaScript so it can become a real boy. Ten years later, that bootcamp graduate is still wondering why their form doesn't actually submit anything.

The Expert Keyboard

Ah, the mythical "Expert Keyboard" – three buttons that sum up 90% of coding bootcamp graduates' skillset. Why learn algorithms when Stack Overflow exists? The first button even has the Stack Overflow logo, because that's where the copying begins. It's not plagiarism, it's "leveraging existing solutions." The microphone is there so you can dictate which error message to Google next. Who needs computer science degrees when you have Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and a reliable internet connection?

Instant Developer Transformation

STOP EVERYTHING! The sacred texts have been revealed! 😱 Just buy an O'Reilly book called "Vibe Coding" and BOOM—instant developer transformation! No need for those pesky years of learning, debugging at 2AM, or crying over semicolons. Just own this magical tome with its wide-eyed cartoon character (who clearly hasn't experienced their first production bug yet), and you too can declare "I'm a Developer Now" with the confidence of someone who thinks HTML is a programming language! The audacity! The delusion! The absolute FANTASY of it all! *dramatically faints onto keyboard*

The Fiery Gates Of Game Development Hell

THE ETERNAL FLAMES OF GAME DEVELOPMENT HELL! First panel: innocent beginner opens door to gamedev, blissfully unaware of the INFERNO waiting inside. Second panel: the twin demons of "actually making your game" and "building a portfolio" lurk in the fiery abyss, ready to consume your soul and free time. But the REAL horror? Third panel: abandoning ALL responsibilities at 4AM because you're being dragged away by the most demonic temptation of all - watching random anime until sunrise! The cycle of productivity destruction is COMPLETE! Your dreams of becoming the next gaming mogul? CREMATED in the fires of procrastination!

Say Hello World

Programming

5 months ago 141.6K views 0 shares

No matter how advanced your skills get, every programming language greets you with the same demand: "Say Hello World." It's like being a senior developer with 10 years of experience and still having to prove you can write a single print statement before they let you near the good stuff. The universal hazing ritual of coding continues.

Sure, Let's Clone The Whole iPhone 15 Pro

Ah yes, the classic "I have no skills but want to build the next billion-dollar tech product" message. Nothing says "weekend project" quite like casually asking a stranger to clone an entire iPhone 15 Pro when you can't even code a "Hello World" program. This is the programming equivalent of saying "I don't know how to boil water, but could you help me cater a 12-course meal for the Queen tomorrow?" The beautiful irony is they misspelled "project" as "peoject" in the email subject line. Perfect foreshadowing of the technical expertise to come.

From Hello World To Production Hell

That moment when you finish your "Hello World" tutorial and stare at the massive cargo ship of production code you're about to navigate. It's like bringing a water pistol to a tsunami. What they don't teach you in bootcamp: that cute little console.log is just the tip of a very deep, very scary iceberg filled with legacy code, tech debt, and config files that haven't been touched since 2012 because "nobody remembers what they do but everything breaks when you change them."

Innocent Server Meets First Webcrawler

Security Webdev Networking Programming Debugging

6 months ago 191.0K views 0 shares

Oh, the DEVASTATING innocence! 😱 Some poor, sweet summer child just unleashed their first web crawler on an unsuspecting server and has THE AUDACITY to wonder if it's a DDoS attack! Honey, your little butterfly of code isn't bringing down anyone's infrastructure—it's like showing up to a tank battle with a water pistol and asking if you're committing war crimes! The server is just sitting there, barely noticing your crawler's gentle tickle while you're over here worried you've committed the digital equivalent of arson. PLEASE, the drama of it all! Next you'll be worried your "Hello World" program is hacking the Pentagon! 💀

It's Just A Little Thing

Oh. My. GOD! The sheer, unbridled ECSTASY of getting validation for that pathetic little "Hello World" program you spent 4 minutes on! 😭 The dopamine explosion is ASTRONOMICAL! Suddenly your 5-line code feels like you've single-handedly revolutionized computer science! That little dog's face is LITERALLY every programmer who's ever been praised for the most basic accomplishment and is now planning their acceptance speech for the Turing Award. The validation-to-effort ratio is CRIMINALLY high and we're all guilty of basking in it!

Code These Vibes (And Leak Those Passwords)

Oh sweet summer child! That "white dot" is the file being modified indicator—basically screaming "HEY, YOU HAVEN'T SAVED YOUR CHANGES YET!" But the real horror show? This person is casually displaying their plaintext password file for all of Reddit to see. Nothing says "hack me please" like showing off your passwords.csv with actual credentials. Somewhere, a security engineer is having heart palpitations while david13, john87, and friends are about to learn a valuable lesson about information sharing.
