Three Magical Words

Three Magical Words
When romance meets CSS. Nothing makes a front-end developer's heart flutter quite like the perfect centering combo. While mere mortals whisper sweet nothings, we crave those sacred incantations that actually center a div without sacrificing a goat to the layout gods. The holy trinity of flexbox and alignment properties—because spending 4 hours trying to center content with margin: 0 auto; is the real relationship trauma.

Society If HTML Could Be Seamlessly Used With Any Language

Society If HTML Could Be Seamlessly Used With Any Language
Ah, the utopian fantasy where HTML plays nicely with everything. Right now we're stuck in a reality where frontend devs spend 60% of their time making divs align properly and the other 40% explaining to clients why their website can't look identical on Internet Explorer 8. If HTML truly worked seamlessly with any language, we'd have flying cars and world peace instead of 47 JavaScript frameworks that all accomplish the same thing slightly differently.

Frontend Is Easy And Satisfying

Frontend Is Easy And Satisfying
The expectation vs. reality of frontend development is perfectly captured in this Squid Game cookie comparison. You start thinking it's just drawing a simple triangle—clean lines, minimal effort. Then reality hits and suddenly you're meticulously carving a fractal nightmare of nested triangles where one wrong move breaks everything. Just like when your CSS looks perfect until someone opens it on a different browser and your beautiful design transforms into an eldritch horror. The only difference is that in Squid Game you die quickly; with frontend, you suffer for eternity trying to center a div.

Have You Tried Licking It?

Have You Tried Licking It?
When someone asks why a button doesn't work and gets told to "lick it" - turns out there's literally an onclick="lick" event handler! The perfect blend of terrible tech support and actual code. Next time your app breaks, just remember: maybe the developer really did expect you to lick your screen. Tastes like debugging tears.

Local File Path: The Website That Never Was

Local File Path: The Website That Never Was
Oh, the sweet innocence of "I made a website with ChatGPT" followed by sending a local file path instead of a URL. That's like telling someone you're a chef because you microwaved a Hot Pocket. What we're witnessing here is the beautiful collision of Dunning-Kruger effect and file system confusion. Our friend thinks they've launched the next Facebook when they've really just saved an HTML file to their downloads folder. No server, no hosting, just pure unbridled confidence. The Windows file path is just *chef's kiss* perfect - nothing says "I'm a web developer" like trying to share C:\Users\ben\Downloads\index.html through iMessage.

An Impostor Among Us

An Impostor Among Us
HTML sitting there with the actual programming languages like it belongs. Nice try, markup language. You're just fancy text with delusions of grandeur. Next thing you know, CSS will want voting rights too.

Margin 0 Auto 0 Auto

Margin 0 Auto 0 Auto
The eternal struggle of frontend developers! Wanted to solve crimes, ended up typing margin: 0 auto; repeatedly just to make divs behave. The classic CSS centering investigation - where you need detective-level skills to figure out why your element won't stay centered. And just when you think you've cracked the case, another div goes rogue. The title "Margin 0 Auto 0 Auto" is actually redundant CSS (just like most of our stylesheets), which makes it even funnier for those who've spent hours debugging layout issues.

The Future Of Html.

The Future Of Html.
When you hit "View Source" and discover the website is just an army of <div> tags staring back at you! It's like opening Pandora's box of nested containers with no semantic HTML in sight! Modern web development in a nutshell - where everything is a div and the structure doesn't matter! The Matrix but it's just Agent <div> multiplied infinitely! 😂

My Boyfriend The Elite Hacker

My Boyfriend The Elite Hacker
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute DELUSION of non-tech people thinking their programmer boyfriends are elite hackers who can destroy digital worlds! Meanwhile, the so-called "hacker boyfriend" is frantically Googling "how to declare variables in HTML" — which is LITERALLY like asking how to put water in a toaster! HTML doesn't even HAVE variables! It's a markup language! The boyfriend is so far from hacking anything he's basically trying to teach a potato to sing opera! 💀

We Are HTML Developers

We Are HTML Developers
The food chain of programming languages in one perfect image. HTML swimming around thinking it's a big predator like Python, Java, JavaScript, and PHP, when really it's just a school of tiny fish pretending to be a shark. Classic Dunning-Kruger effect in code form – the markup language with the least actual programming capability somehow convinced itself it belongs with the apex predators. Sure buddy, you keep "developing" those static pages while the real languages handle the heavy lifting.

Three Magical Lines Of CSS

Three Magical Lines Of CSS
Remember when you spent five years of your life trying to center a div with floats, margins, and absolute positioning hacks? Then one day you discover flexbox and those three magical lines of CSS that do it perfectly. Your entire frontend career flashes before your eyes—all those wasted hours, the stackoverflow rabbit holes, the broken layouts in IE. The sheer simplicity is both enlightening and traumatizing. It's like finding out you've been cutting your lawn with scissors when someone hands you a lawnmower.

The CSS Treasure Curse

The CSS Treasure Curse
Frontend developers looking at CSS like it's some mystical treasure that will solve all their layout problems. Then they actually try to center a div vertically and suddenly that treasure turns into a cursed object. The face of regret in the third panel is the universal expression of someone who just realized they need to support Internet Explorer.
