Developer expectations Memes

The five stages of developer grief happen in approximately 5 minutes flat. First comes the euphoria—arms raised, dopamine flowing, convinced you're about to build the next billion-dollar unicorn. Then reality strikes faster than a compiler error on line 1. Suddenly you're staring into the void, questioning your career choices and wondering if it's too late to become a professional dog walker. The gap between "I'm a coding genius with revolutionary ideas" and "I can't figure out why this basic function returns undefined" is approximately 300 seconds. It's almost impressive how quickly we go from tech visionary to existential crisis.

The mythical "Full Stack Developer" strikes again! The top row shows animals lamenting their limitations—a dog can't fly, a fish can't walk, a chick can't swim, and a duck... well, it's just there looking smug. But the bottom row? Pure developer delusion. Suddenly they're all transformed into confident versions with skills they never had! It's basically every job posting ever: "Looking for a Full Stack Developer who can code in 17 languages, design like Picasso, manage infrastructure like NASA, and work for the salary of an intern." Meanwhile, the rest of us are specializing in one thing and questioning our life choices.
