html Memes

Calling HTML a programming language is like calling a hammer a power tool. The father's reaction is the software industry's collective response to anyone who thinks markup is actual programming. That "10 seconds to get off my property" hits harder than a stack overflow error at 4:59 PM on a Friday. Real programmers would rather debug a recursive function than listen to someone brag about their HTML "coding skills."

Remember when we thought scrolling text was the pinnacle of web design? The <marquee> tag was the 90s equivalent of today's fancy animations – except it was basically just text having a seizure across your screen. We'd slap that bad boy on every element, add some neon text, maybe throw in a few animated GIFs of construction workers, and boom – suddenly we were "web developers." The digital equivalent of putting flame decals on a car to make it go faster. Those college websites with black backgrounds, rainbow text, and that sweet, sweet scrolling marquee... we really thought we were revolutionizing the internet. And now we argue about React state management while silently judging each other's CSS.
