The Game Dev Bait And Switch

1 day ago 134.9K views 1 shares

That moment when you click on "How to Make a Game" and somehow end up with 15 years of CSS padding nightmares and JavaScript framework churn. The classic bait-and-switch of the tech world! You start dreaming of creating the next Minecraft and before you know it, you're arguing about whether Tailwind is better than Bootstrap while sobbing into your third coffee of the morning. The hand reaching out is all of us trying to escape div hell, but the ocean of web development has already claimed another victim. The deepest circle of developer hell isn't debugging—it's explaining to your mom that yes, you make "computer games," but actually it's forms... it's all just forms.

Stop Over Engineering

Ah yes, the "security through simplicity" approach. Why bother with REST constraints, data validation, or SQL injection protection when you can just let users execute raw queries directly against your production database? Nothing says "I trust the internet" like exposing your entire database through a single endpoint. The best part? When your company inevitably gets hacked, you can just blame it on "those pesky hackers" instead of your API that's basically a neon sign saying "DROP TABLES HERE". Bonus points for hardcoding credentials in your source code. Because who needs environment variables when you can just commit passwords directly to GitHub?

JavaScript devs watching Ruby on Rails folks tear each other apart over politics while sipping coffee through their npm dependency hell. First time? Ha! The JS community survived ES6 vs ES5, jQuery wars, framework fatigue, and approximately 8,742 state management libraries. Political drama? That's just Tuesday for us. We've been divided since someone first suggested semicolons were optional.

The Human Who Codes Suspiciously Fast

So you're telling me the "human" support agent who swore they weren't a robot just happened to spit out a perfect React component faster than I could open Stack Overflow? Ah yes, nothing says "real person" like instantaneously generating 30 lines of useState hooks and inline styling without a single typo. That's not ChatGPT with a mustache and trenchcoat, definitely not. The most human thing about "Ankur" is probably the 3-second delay they added before responding to seem like they're actually typing.

Madness Or Brilliance

Every developer knows that proper debugging tools exist. And yet, there we are at 3 AM, littering our code with console.log() statements like breadcrumbs in a forest of bugs. Sure, it's primitive. Sure, your senior developer is judging you. But when that random string finally prints exactly where you expected it to, you feel like a goddamn genius. It's not elegant, but it gets the job done—just like duct tape on a space station.

The duality of JavaScript hatred is real. Beginners hate it because they can't grasp why [] + [] is an empty string or why typeof null is "object". Meanwhile, seasoned devs hate it because they've seen the horrors lurking beneath—callback hell, prototype inheritance, and the absolute chaos of asynchronous programming before Promises existed. The truth hurts: understanding JavaScript fully doesn't make you love it—it just gives you better reasons to complain about it during standup meetings while still using it for literally everything.

Stop Over Engineering (And Start Over Exploiting)

Nothing says "I trust my users completely" like letting them run raw SQL queries directly against your production database. This code is basically saying "Here's the keys to my database kingdom, please don't DELETE FROM users WHERE 1=1." It's the digital equivalent of leaving your front door wide open with a sign that says "Please don't steal anything." Security teams everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force, as if millions of injection vulnerabilities suddenly cried out in terror.

When Simple Math Meets Enterprise Solutions

First dev: "I'll just hardcode every single number from 1 to infinity with its even/odd status. Efficiency!" Second dev: "Why use simple modulo math when you can just outsource your basic arithmetic to a GPT model? That's 500KB of code and a $10 API bill to determine if a number is divisible by 2." The evolution of problem-solving in 2023: from hilariously inefficient to absurdly overcomplicated. Because nothing says "modern software engineering" like turning a one-line function into an enterprise-grade AI solution with cloud dependencies. Next week: "IsPositive() function now requires stable internet connection and cryptocurrency wallet."

OMG, the absolute STATE of web development in 2023! 💀 JavaScript has literally CONQUERED THE ENTIRE STACK like some power-hungry dictator! Front-end? JavaScript. Back-end? ALSO JavaScript. Database? You'd think we'd draw the line somewhere, but NOPE - straight to JavaScript with MongoDB and its JSON documents! It's like watching JavaScript stage a hostile takeover while other languages stand by helplessly. The web development world has fallen, and JavaScript is wearing all the medals now! Next thing you know, your toaster will be running Node.js! THE HORROR!

The JavaScript Type Coercion Betrayal

Oh the BETRAYAL! The blue character is proudly showing off JavaScript as their favorite language, only to be EXPOSED for the chaotic monster it truly is! JavaScript's infamous string concatenation turns "11" + 1 into "111" (because strings eat numbers for breakfast), but then has the AUDACITY to make "11" - 1 equal 10 (suddenly remembering it can do math). The white character's dead-inside expression says it all—we've been living this type coercion nightmare since 1995! The gremlin peeking from the JavaScript box is the language's true form—a chaotic gremlin that LIVES to confuse developers with its inconsistent type handling. It's not a bug, it's a "feature"! 💀

The ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE of tech recruiting in its purest form! 💀 The HR person has NO CLUE what they're hiring for but is somehow in charge of finding a "software engineer." Not a C# expert. Not a JavaScript guru. Just... a software engineer? But what KIND?! The recruiter's blank stare in that last panel is the PERFECT representation of every developer's job search hell. The tech industry's greatest mystery: how people who can't tell Python from a snake are the gatekeepers to your next paycheck!

Atwood's Law: The JavaScript Singularity

Jeff Atwood's infamous prophecy that haunts backend developers' nightmares. What started as a joke in 2007 has become our reality - Electron apps, Node.js servers, and even freaking desktop operating systems running JavaScript. The language that was cobbled together in 10 days has somehow consumed everything in its path like some kind of unstoppable syntax blob. Resistance is futile. Your precious C++ application? Rewritten in JS. Your Java backend? Now it's Express. Your sanity? Long gone.
