Vibe Coded Menu
When your cafe tries to be all fancy and tech-savvy with laser-etched brass QR codes but forgets the most basic rule of web development: actually having a server running. Those beautiful artisanal QR codes are pointing to localhost – which, for the non-technical folks reading this, means "my own computer" and definitely not "the cafe's menu website." Someone literally deployed their local development environment to production. Or more accurately, they didn't deploy anything at all. They just scanned their own computer while testing and permanently etched that URL into brass. That's commitment to the wrong thing. The cafe spent more money on metalwork than on a $5/month hosting plan. Chef's kiss of irony right there.

Update Your Footer To 2026
Every year without fail, someone remembers in late January that they still have "© 2024 Company Name. All rights reserved." sitting in their footer. It's the web dev equivalent of writing the wrong year on checks for the first month. You know it needs updating, you even added it to your mental todo list, but somehow it always slips through until someone inevitably points it out or you randomly notice it yourself weeks later. The real pros just hardcode the current year in a template variable and forget about it forever. The rest of us? We'll see you next January when we go through this dance again.

Microsoft Certified Html Professional
The classic interrogation technique applied to tech bros who pad their resumes. Someone claims they "use AI to write code" and "develop enterprise applications," but when pressed for specifics, they're really just making webpages. The punchline hits different because there's a massive gap between building scalable enterprise systems and throwing together HTML/CSS landing pages, yet both can technically be called "development." The Microsoft certification in the title adds another layer of irony—Microsoft offers legitimate professional certifications for Azure, .NET, and enterprise technologies, but "HTML Professional" isn't exactly the flex you'd expect from someone building enterprise apps. It's like saying you're a Michelin-starred chef because you can make toast.

Works As Intended
Ah yes, the classic "it's not a bug, it's a feature" defense. You set both width and height to 100%, expecting a nice square container, but CSS decided to interpret your instructions with the creativity of a malicious genie. The cat perfectly represents your code: technically fitting the specifications you wrote, but somehow achieving it in the most cursed way possible. Sure, it's 100% width and 100% height... of its parent container . Nobody said anything about maintaining aspect ratios or looking remotely normal. The real kicker? You'll close the ticket as "Works As Intended" because technically, the code is doing exactly what you told it to do. The fact that it looks like an eldritch abomination is merely a user perception issue.

Inline SQL
Drake rejecting raw SQL strings because of ORM trust issues? Nah, too mainstream. But writing SQL queries as inline CSS classes using TailwindSQL? Now that's the galaxy brain move we didn't know we needed. TailwindSQL takes the utility-first philosophy to its logical extreme: why write SELECT * FROM users when you could write class="select-all from-users where-active" ? It's like someone looked at Tailwind CSS's 47-character class strings and thought "you know what databases need? This energy." The best part? You get all the SQL injection vulnerabilities of raw queries with the verbose readability of Tailwind classes. It's the worst of both worlds, perfectly balanced. Your DBA will love debugging select-* from-orders join-users on-id where-status-eq-pending limit-10 offset-20 in production at 3 AM.

Someone literally got </head> and <body> HTML tags tattooed on their neck and back. Because apparently, proper semantic markup isn't just for your code anymore—it's a LIFESTYLE CHOICE. The commitment to web standards is absolutely unhinged and I'm here for it. Nothing says "I live and breathe HTML" quite like permanently inking closing tags on your actual human body. The tattoo artist probably charged extra for the forward slash. And yes, before you ask, the opening tags are presumably somewhere we can't see, because even tattoo placement needs to follow proper HTML structure or the browser—I mean, your body—won't render correctly. 💀

What Should I Do Now
Guy's surname is "Wu" and some form system decided that two characters just isn't enough for a last name. Because clearly, every database architect in history assumed all humans follow the same naming conventions. The validation rule says minimum 3 characters, and Wu says "I exist." Meta's official account responding with "wuhoooo!" is either peak corporate humor or someone in their social media team is having way too much fun. Fun fact: This is a classic example of Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names . Names can be one character, they can have no last name, they can be symbols, they can change daily. Your regex won't save you.

Why Tf Do You Need A Prompt For That
So you're telling me you need an AI agent running Claude 4.5 Sonnet on MAX mode to change padding from p-4 to p-8? Brother, that's literally pressing backspace once and typing an 8. You're using a nuclear reactor to toast bread. The "CODING 00" skill meter perfectly captures the energy here. It's like asking a surgeon to help you put on a band-aid. Sure, these AI coding assistants are powerful for complex refactoring and architecture decisions, but using them for trivial CSS changes is peak "I forgot how to use my keyboard" behavior. Next thing you know, people will be prompting AI to add semicolons. Just... just use Ctrl+F at this point.

Microsoft Certified Html Professional
The classic interrogation format where someone keeps inflating their job title until they're forced to admit they just make webpages. Starting with "I use AI to write code" (very impressive, very 2024), escalating to "I develop enterprise applications" (now we're talking six figures), and finally landing on the truth: "I make webpages." It's the tech industry equivalent of saying you're a "culinary artist" when you microwave Hot Pockets. Nothing wrong with making webpages—someone's gotta do it—but let's not pretend your landing page for Karen's yoga studio is the next AWS. The "Microsoft Certified HTML Professional" title is the cherry on top. HTML isn't even a programming language, and Microsoft definitely doesn't certify you in it. But hey, put it on LinkedIn anyway. Nobody checks.

Tree Shaking Maybe Works
You install one tiny date formatting library and suddenly your node_modules folder is the size of a 747. Then you build your "tiny React app" and somehow it's still pulling in half the internet despite tree shaking supposedly removing unused code. Tree shaking is that magical build optimization that's supposed to eliminate dead code from your bundle. In theory, it only includes what you actually import. In practice? Well, your final bundle is still mysteriously 2MB because some dependency deep in the chain decided to import the entire lodash library for one function. The ratio here is painfully accurate. You start with a massive airplane hangar of dependencies, shake the tree real hard, and end up with... a slightly smaller airplane hangar. But hey, at least webpack says it's optimized.

Why Do We Need Backend, Why Don't We Just Connect Front-End To The Database?
Someone just asked the forbidden question that makes every backend developer's eye twitch. The response? Pure gold. "Why do we eat and go to the bathroom when we can throw food directly in the toilet? Because stuff needs to get processed." Connecting your frontend directly to the database is like giving every stranger on the internet your house keys and hoping they'll only use the bathroom. Sure, it's technically possible, but you're basically rolling out the red carpet for SQL injection attacks, exposing your credentials in client-side code, and letting users bypass any business logic you might have. The backend is where validation happens, authentication lives, business rules get enforced, and your data stays safe from curious DevTools users. But sure, skip it if you want your app to become a cautionary tale on r/netsec.

Finally Got The Award I Deserve
When you spend 3 hours fighting with display: flex and justify-content: center to center a div, you absolutely deserve a trophy. The self-awarded "World's Best CSS Developer" award is the programmer equivalent of giving yourself a participation trophy after debugging why your navbar won't align properly for the 47th time. CSS: the only language where you can be simultaneously a genius and completely clueless. One moment you're crafting beautiful responsive layouts, the next you're Googling "how to center a div" for the millionth time like it's your first day on the job. The fact that someone actually 3D printed this trophy suggests they either have incredible self-awareness or they've finally snapped after one too many z-index battles. Props for the commitment though—most of us just settle for the imposter syndrome and call it a day.
