The Old Reliable Rule

The Old Reliable Rule
Frontend devs mock backend folks for using plain JavaScript instead of the framework-du-jour, but secretly, we all know those vanilla JS backends have been running flawlessly for years while the frontend stack has been rewritten 17 times. That backend code written in 2014? Still chugging along without a hiccup. Meanwhile, the frontend team is busy migrating from React to Vue to Svelte to whatever shiny new framework dropped last Tuesday. Sometimes boring technology is the most reliable. And deep down, we're all a little jealous of that stability.

The JavaScript Framework Delusion

The JavaScript Framework Delusion
The eternal JavaScript framework cycle in one perfect image! Three scientists examining a rocket blueprint while standing next to an actual janky rocket made of paper and traffic cones. The disconnect between what we think we're building ("MY JS FRAMEWORK") versus what we actually are ("SOFTWARE ENGINEERS") is *chef's kiss*. Every six months some genius cobbles together a new JS framework held together with duct tape and promises, convincing themselves they're rocket scientists revolutionizing web development. Meanwhile, actual computer scientists are laughing their PhDs off watching us reinvent the wheel with increasingly elaborate names.

A Small Project With Big Ambitions

A Small Project With Big Ambitions
The perfect visualization of scope creep in web development! What starts as a cute little kid wanting a few technologies (MongoDB, Redis, Angular) turns into a database apocalypse. First frame: "I only need 5 requests per minute!" Second frame: "Just a few tables with hundreds of records!" By the final frame, this innocent project has transformed into a resource-devouring monster with Oracle, Hadoop, and every framework under the sun strapped to it, terrorizing the server playground while screaming "MAKE WAY LOSERS! I'M ABOUT TO PROCESS MY 5 USERS!" The irony of overengineering a solution that serves practically no one is just *chef's kiss*. It's that side project that started with "I'll just use a simple stack" and somehow ended up with Kubernetes.

Next Nest Nuxt: The JavaScript Name Game

Next Nest Nuxt: The JavaScript Name Game
The JavaScript framework naming convention has officially reached peak confusion. First you're excited about Next.js, thinking you're cutting edge. Then suddenly everyone's talking about Nest.js and you have to pretend you knew the difference all along. By the time you figure that out, Nuxt.js appears and you're completely lost... wait, is it pronounced "nuxt" or "nuked"? And just when you thought you understood, you realize there's ANOTHER framework with practically the same name. At this point, I'm convinced framework creators are just hitting random keys near 'n' on the keyboard and adding ".js" to whatever comes out.

Name The Game You Just Couldn't Get Into

Name The Game You Just Couldn't Get Into
The eternal struggle of the contrarian developer! Just like Squidward looking disappointed at that treasure chest, we've all installed some hyped framework or language that everyone raves about, only to stare at our IDE thinking "...this is it?" Whether it's React when you're a Vue person, Rust when you prefer Go, or trying to love TypeScript when you secretly miss the chaos of vanilla JS - that feeling of "am I broken for not enjoying this?" hits hard. The real treasure was the technical debt we accumulated along the way!

Trying To Learn A Young Language, Using A Tutorial That's More Than A Year Old

Trying To Learn A Young Language, Using A Tutorial That's More Than A Year Old
That moment when your teapot is missing half its spout but you still try to pour tea with it anyway. Just like trying to follow that React tutorial from 2022 that casually omits the fact that half the API was deprecated last month. "Just import createClass—oh wait, that's gone. Um, just use componentWillMount—nope, that's gone too." The modern dev experience is basically pouring molten chocolate through a broken teapot and hoping your cup catches more than your countertop.

It's All Webviews? Always Has Been

It's All Webviews? Always Has Been
Ah, the classic "astronaut with a gun" meme takes on web development! The poor soul just realized everything in modern frontend is basically glorified webviews and HTML wrappers. Electron apps, PWAs, React Native... we spent years learning fancy frameworks only to discover we're still just pushing divs around a screen. The Internet Explorer astronaut knows the truth - no matter how many shiny new logos we slap on it, we're all just writing HTML with extra steps. The circle of web dev life continues!

Back In My Day: CSS Was A Rite Of Passage

Back In My Day: CSS Was A Rite Of Passage
Grandpa Simpson is basically every senior dev watching juniors slap flex justify-between items-center p-4 rounded-md shadow-lg on everything without understanding what a float is. The CSS purists are sitting on their tree stumps of righteousness while the rest of us are just trying to ship products without writing 200 lines of media queries. Yes, frameworks can be overkill, but have you tried centering a div without one? That's the real horror story.

Roadmaps Are A Scam

Roadmaps Are A Scam
Initially excited to help a coding newbie until they mention the dreaded R-word! Those 17-step "Frontend Roadmaps" with 47 frameworks, 23 build tools, and an arbitrary timeline that makes you question your life choices. Real devs know the truth: you learn by building stuff and Googling errors until 4am, not by following some color-coded flowchart that'll be obsolete before you finish reading it. The only accurate roadmap is: 1) Build something 2) Break it 3) Fix it 4) Repeat until employed.

Vanilla JS: Swimming Against The Framework Current

Vanilla JS: Swimming Against The Framework Current
Poor vanilla JS developer sitting in a pool of judgment while everyone else enjoys their framework-enhanced lives. The classic "why aren't you using React/Angular/Vue?" interrogation that happens at every dev meetup. Writing raw JavaScript in 2023 is like showing up to a gunfight with a sharpened pencil – technically a weapon, but you're gonna have a bad time. The framework folks will never let you swim in peace!

The Beginning Of An Idiocracy

The Beginning Of An Idiocracy
Behold the horrifying family lineage of programming languages! C and C++ started as a respectable couple with just TWO family members. Fast forward a measly 5 years and BOOM—JavaScript appears. But wait for the apocalypse! 60 years later we're drowning in a TSUNAMI of JavaScript frameworks and libraries that have multiplied faster than rabbits on energy drinks! The family tree looks like someone sneezed on a genealogy chart! This is what happens when you let a language created in 10 days reproduce unchecked. The horror! THE HORROR!

Javascript Junkies

Javascript Junkies
That poor Vanilla JS developer surrounded by framework fanatics in the JavaScript pool party! The lone dev just trying to write clean, native code while everyone points and judges like he brought a flip phone to an iPhone convention. Framework zealots never miss a chance to evangelize their library of choice, while vanilla devs are left explaining why they don't need 300MB of node_modules to render a button. The irony? That vanilla JS dev probably understands the language better than all the framework swimmers combined!
