Dealing With Safari As A Webdev

5 days ago 122.7K views 0 shares

Nothing says "I've made poor career choices" quite like spending 14 hours debugging a feature that works perfectly in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, only to have Safari render it like it's 2007. You build something beautiful, test it everywhere, then Safari comes along like that one relative who still uses Internet Explorer and asks "what's the cloud?" The worst part? Apple's response is basically "sounds like a you problem." Meanwhile, you're questioning every CSS flex property you've ever written and contemplating a peaceful life as a goat farmer instead.

Ah yes, another revolutionary startup idea: Tailwind CSS + dark theme + neon colors. The holy trinity of "I'm totally not building the same thing as everyone else." Squidward's sarcasm perfectly captures what happens when you pitch your groundbreaking web app to anyone who's seen more than three websites in the past decade. Next you'll tell me you're using React and MongoDB too. Truly disruptive.

Front End Design Versus Users

Ah yes, the classic accessibility symbol that's clearly been through QA testing. Designer: "I've created this perfectly aligned wheelchair icon." Users: "I prefer my accessibility with a side of existential crisis, thanks." This is what happens when you deploy to production without checking how your CSS renders on actual pavement. The real-world equivalent of "it worked on my machine."

When Backend Developers Try To CSS

The eternal irony of backend developers trying to write CSS! This poor soul is literally measuring pixels on their screen with their fingers because they have no idea how to make that div align properly. It's like watching a quantum physicist trying to assemble IKEA furniture with their eyes closed. No amount of database optimization skills will help you center that div, my friend! The compiler won't save you here—only prayer and Stack Overflow can help now.

The eternal cycle of web development: whether it's your first day or your ten-thousandth, you're still Googling "how to center a div." Some things never change. CSS flexbox was supposed to save us, yet here we are, senior developers with mortgages and retirement plans, still typing the same query we did as bright-eyed juniors. The only real difference between junior and senior developers? Seniors have memorized which Stack Overflow answer to click on.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of spending 8+ years becoming a literal DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY only to end up pushing pixels 3 pixels to the left! 😱 Those faces say it all - the existential crisis of realizing your dissertation on quantum computing algorithms or advanced mathematical theories has prepared you for the EARTH-SHATTERING responsibility of... making sure a button doesn't look wonky on mobile. The academic-to-corporate pipeline is basically a fancy water slide that dumps you into a kiddie pool of CSS tweaks. Your brilliant mind reduced to arguing about whether something should be #e6e6e6 or #f0f0f0. The HORROR!

Engineering Manager And Fullstack Lead Trying To Center A Div

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. Because nothing says "I'm a professional" like using CSS hacks that will break the second someone resizes the window. Frontend development: where even the simplest tasks make you question your career choices.

Human Compiler: When Professors Make You Render HTML By Hand

The professor just turned every CS student into a human rendering engine! Instead of asking conceptual questions about web development, this exam literally makes students trace through HTML/CSS code and manually draw what the browser would display—complete with images, colors, and layout. It's like forcing someone to execute a 200-line program with pen and paper when computers were literally invented to do this for us. The ultimate "computers make me obsolete so I'll make you BE the computer" power move. Somewhere, a browser engine developer is crying into their coffee.

Oh. My. GOD. Remember when web development was just slapping some HTML, CSS, and jQuery together like a sandwich and calling it a day?! 💅 Now we've got 47 JavaScript frameworks, 23 build tools, and enough npm packages to fill the Grand Canyon! Back then you could actually SLEEP at night without dreaming about webpack configurations! The AUDACITY of modern development expecting us to learn a new framework before we've even finished our morning coffee! Those jQuery days were like taking a bubble bath compared to the FLAMING OBSTACLE COURSE that is frontend development today! *dramatically faints onto keyboard*

Oh look, it's the classic "my first website" evolution! On the left, we have HTML+CSS – the chunky mango of web development that just sits there looking pretty but doesn't do much. Then there's JavaScript – that smug little parrot with an attitude that thinks it's better than everyone because it can actually do things . Every beginner starts with the big, juicy fruit of static pages before realizing they need that annoying little bird to make anything interactive. The best part? That bird will absolutely bite you when you least expect it with some bizarre type coercion or callback hell. Sure, you could just stick with HTML and CSS, but then your website would just be sitting there... menacingly... like a mango with commitment issues.

Ah, the nightmare fuel for CSS warriors everywhere! That circular screen is basically saying "I dare you to make your flexbox work on me." Frontend devs already lose sleep over supporting different browsers, but this monstrosity takes "edge cases" to a whole new level. Imagine trying to design responsive layouts when your viewport is literally a circle. Border-radius: 50%? More like border-radius: PAIN%. The dev who commented is having PTSD flashbacks to that time Internet Explorer randomly decided divs were just suggestions.

The Gold Standard Of Div Alignment

Ah, the mythical "World's Best CSS Developer" trophy – the only thing more perfectly centered than this award is the existential dread I feel when a client asks for "just a small layout tweak." After 15 years of fighting with floats, flexbox, and grid, I've come to accept that properly aligning divs is basically dark magic. We've all spent hours trying to vertically center something only to end up with a unholy combination of margin: auto , position: absolute , and at least three Stack Overflow solutions duct-taped together. The real winners aren't getting trophies – they're silently weeping into their keyboards at 2am, wondering why display: flex suddenly decided to betray them.
