PHP: The Undying Language

PHP: The Undying Language
The eternal zombie apocalypse that is PHP development. Since 1995, developers have been declaring PHP dead while recommending the hot new framework—ColdFusion, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, Django, NextJS—only for PHP to keep shambling along, refusing to die. By 2025, we'll be celebrating its 30th birthday while still writing those same

The Immortal PHP: Web Development's Greatest Zombie

The Immortal PHP: Web Development's Greatest Zombie
THE ETERNAL ZOMBIE LANGUAGE THAT REFUSES TO DIE! 💀 For THREE DECADES developers have been screaming "PHP is dead!" while frantically pushing the next hot framework. ColdFusion! ASP.NET! Ruby on Rails! Django! NextJS! Each one supposedly hammering the final nail in PHP's coffin. Meanwhile, PHP is just sitting there, powering like 78% of the internet, sipping tea and planning its 30th birthday party. The ultimate comeback story! The cockroach of programming languages that survives every nuclear framework bomb dropped on it! And the irony? We're still typing

A Brief History Of Web Development

A Brief History Of Web Development
The tech world's most reliable constant isn't Moore's Law—it's our ability to prematurely declare PHP dead while it quietly powers half the internet. From ColdFusion (1995) to ASP.NET (2002) to Ruby on Rails (2004) to Django (2006) to NextJS (2018), we've spent three decades confidently announcing PHP's funeral while writing our revolutionary frameworks that will "definitely replace it this time." Yet here we are in 2025, celebrating PHP's 30th birthday. The language that refuses to die despite our best efforts. It's like that coworker who keeps surviving layoffs despite doing everything in Comic Sans.

PHP Is Like A Walking Dead Code

PHP Is Like A Walking Dead Code
PHP has been declared dead more times than a character in a soap opera, yet it powers about 77% of the web. It's the tech equivalent of that one cockroach that survives nuclear winter. Modern frameworks like Laravel have given it life support, but developers still look at it with the same bewilderment as someone witnessing a zombie doing taxes. "It shouldn't be alive, but here we are."

The Great Pyramid Of Overengineering

The Great Pyramid Of Overengineering
Ancient Egyptians built massive pyramids with nothing but stone tools and manpower. Meanwhile, modern developers need sixteen JavaScript frameworks, three cloud subscriptions, and a $3000 MacBook Pro with 64GB RAM just to center a div. And they still complain about the Wi-Fi being slow.

The Framework Treadmill Of Despair

The Framework Treadmill Of Despair
Just spent six months becoming a React guru, and now everyone's talking about some framework with a fruit name that's "10x faster" and "the future of web development." The frontend ecosystem is basically a treadmill designed by sadists. You're never done learning—you're just temporarily less obsolete than yesterday. The worst part? You'll still rewrite everything in vanilla JS five years from now when the cycle repeats itself.

Lesson About Favoritism: New Tech Vs. Legacy Code

Lesson About Favoritism: New Tech Vs. Legacy Code
When you want to try that shiny new framework but management says "we already have frameworks at home." The orange crabs are Rust - elegant, memory-safe, and actually useful. The bug-eyed gophers at home? That's the legacy codebase written in whatever language the previous dev thought was cool in 2011. Every developer knows this pain. You're eyeing those sweet new technologies while maintaining five different versions of the same app because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is tattooed on your CTO's forehead.

I Just Think They're Neat

I Just Think They're Neat
Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of project managers questioning my PRECIOUS collection of 1000+ unused libraries! 💅 Listen, sweetheart, I don't come to YOUR desk and question why you have 47 Gantt charts for a project that was supposed to be done LAST YEAR. These libraries are my emotional support dependencies! Some developers collect stamps, I collect npm packages that I might use someday in that hypothetical perfect project that exists only in my dreams. And YES, our build time is 4 hours and our node_modules folder is larger than the known universe, but LOOK AT ALL THESE PRETTY PACKAGES! They're just sitting there... being neat! Is that a crime now?!

Center Div.Js: The 500MB Solution To A 5KB Problem

Center Div.Js: The 500MB Solution To A 5KB Problem
The truth bomb that launched a thousand uncomfortable laughs at a dev conference. Nothing says "modern web development" like creating 47MB of JavaScript dependencies to avoid writing display: flex; justify-content: center; . Meanwhile, the audience is divided between those nodding in agreement and those who just published their "Revolutionary CSS-in-JS Solution" on GitHub yesterday. The irony of someone presenting this while probably using a JS framework to power their slides is just *chef's kiss*.

Trying To Go Back To Making A Webpage With Just Raw HTML/CSS/JS

Trying To Go Back To Making A Webpage With Just Raw HTML/CSS/JS
Look at this poor dev crawling desperately toward their framework lifelines. The modern web developer's equivalent of withdrawal symptoms. "Just one more component library, I swear I can quit Angular anytime!" Remember when we built websites with just HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS? No dependency hell, no 500MB node_modules folder, no "npm audit fix" nightmares. Those were simpler times. Now we've created generations of devs who break into cold sweats at the thought of writing a querySelector instead of using their precious framework's state management. The irony is we've come full circle - the "revolutionary" solutions all eventually try to mimic the simplicity we abandoned in the first place. Yet here we are, crawling back to our framework overlords because god forbid we handle DOM updates manually.

Modern Software Development

Modern Software Development
Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of modern software development in one horrifying image! 😱 Someone is literally using a series of adapters stacked on top of each other just to plug something in! It's the digital equivalent of building a Jenga tower of frameworks, libraries, and dependencies just to print "Hello World"! The sheer AUDACITY of needing 17 layers of abstraction to accomplish what should be a SIMPLE TASK. And don't even get me started on how this is EXACTLY what happens when you try to make React talk to that legacy Java backend through six different middleware services. The horror! The DRAMA! The unnecessarily complex architecture diagrams!

The LinkedIn Tech Stack Pokédex Challenge

The LinkedIn Tech Stack Pokédex Challenge
The ultimate tech resume flex: listing every framework, library, and tool you've ever glanced at for 0.5 seconds. That massive word salad of technologies—from Python to TensorFlow to "purrr"—is peak developer peacocking. The punchline is genius though. Asking recruiters to identify which ones are Pokémon is the perfect trap since several of these actually sound like Pokémon names (looking at you, "sparklyR" and "vulpix"—and yes, Vulpix is actually a fire-type Pokémon). It's the perfect litmus test for technical recruiters who claim to understand what you do but can't tell a data visualization library from something that shoots thunderbolts.
