Coding advice Memes

Initially excited to help a coding newbie until they mention the dreaded R-word! Those 17-step "Frontend Roadmaps" with 47 frameworks, 23 build tools, and an arbitrary timeline that makes you question your life choices. Real devs know the truth: you learn by building stuff and Googling errors until 4am, not by following some color-coded flowchart that'll be obsolete before you finish reading it. The only accurate roadmap is: 1) Build something 2) Break it 3) Fix it 4) Repeat until employed.

When you pick up a book called "HOW TO GET BETTER AT CODING" but it just says "CODE MORE" inside. The brutal simplicity hits hard! Every developer looking for that magic shortcut or elegant algorithm gets slapped with the coding equivalent of "just do more pushups." No fancy frameworks or design patterns—just the cold, hard truth that mastery comes from grinding out more lines of code until your fingers bleed and your dreams are in syntax highlighting.
