When UI Bugs Reveal Your Age

Nothing ages you faster than remembering when scrollbars were chunky, reliable parts of the browser window that just sat there doing their job. Now we've got these fancy disappearing overlays that show up for 0.5 seconds before fading away like your hopes of maintaining backward compatibility. The real tragedy? Watching the frog age from "young dev with bright eyes" to "senior engineer who's seen too many UI frameworks come and go" in the time it takes for browsers to decide scrollbars should be ephemeral experiences rather than functional UI elements.

Why Google Why

Google's design team strikes again! Remember when you could instantly recognize Gmail from Drive at a glance? Now we're playing "corporate logo roulette" every time we need to send an email. The evolution from distinct, functional icons to these homogeneous color squares is like watching your codebase after a junior dev discovers design patterns. "Let's refactor everything to be consistent !" Sure, kid. Consistency is great until all your function names are AbstractFactoryBuilderServiceImpl. Now I'm squinting at my phone trying to figure out if I'm about to open my calendar or accidentally join that meeting I've been avoiding. Thanks for the extra cognitive load, Google. Just what my burnout needed.
