I Hate PHP Until It Pays The Bills

I Hate PHP Until It Pays The Bills
Developer: "I hate PHP! Get that thing out of my face!" *Discovers Laravel framework* *Aggressively chomps Laravel* *Suddenly sees dollar signs floating around* It's the classic developer journey from "PHP is trash" to "actually I can make money with this" pipeline. The framework makes the language palatable enough to swallow your pride along with it. The bird isn't evolving its opinions—just its billing rate.

The programming language journey that ends with a tearful confession to Java is the tech equivalent of Stockholm syndrome. You start with Python thinking "programming is fun!" Then you try JavaScript and think "this is weird but I'm managing." After dabbling in Rust, Go, and maybe even a horrifying encounter with C++, your soul slowly breaks down. Finally, tears streaming down your face like the Hulk himself, you surrender to Java's verbose embrace. It's not love—it's just that after enough semicolon-induced trauma, even Java's boilerplate feels like coming home. public static void main(String[] args) becomes your comfort blanket.

Ah yes, the classic JavaScript journey transformation. You start those "30 Days of JavaScript" tutorials looking all innocent and hopeful, thinking you'll master the language in a month. Fast forward to day 30 and you're a deranged code demon with eye twitches and murderous thoughts every time you hear "undefined is not a function." The psychological damage of discovering that semicolons are sometimes optional but also sometimes catastrophic will do that to a person. JavaScript doesn't teach you coding—it teaches you creative profanity.

The backend dev bird starts off screaming at Tailwind CSS like it's a horrific abomination, but after reluctantly taking a bite... suddenly enters a blissful state of enlightenment. It's the perfect visualization of that journey from "CSS frameworks are bloating my HTML!" to "Wait, these utility classes are actually... amazing?" The final panel with those chicken thoughts hits hard because we've ALL been there—adamantly rejecting something new until we try it and sheepishly realize we were wrong the whole time. Resistance is futile; Tailwind will assimilate you.
