Plz Don't Let These Ppl To Code For Production

Plz Don't Let These Ppl To Code For Production
You know you're in trouble when your coworker thinks "GetHub" is a perfectly logical name because it's related to Git. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is just vibing, pretending everything's fine while the codebase burns in the background. The real horror here isn't the confusion between Git and GitHub—it's that someone with this level of understanding is probably pushing directly to main right now. No pull requests, no code reviews, just pure chaos. And everyone's just... accepting it. That's the real crime. Fun fact: GitHub was actually almost named "Logical Awesome" before the founders settled on the current name. Imagine explaining to your coworker why it's not called "GetLogicalAwesome" instead.

The Senior Devs Expectations Vs The Junior Devs Resources

The Senior Devs Expectations Vs The Junior Devs Resources
Oh, you want me to build a scalable microservices architecture with real-time data processing and machine learning capabilities? Sure thing, boss! Let me just fire up this laptop from 2012 that takes 15 minutes to boot and has 4GB of RAM that's already crying from running Slack and Chrome simultaneously. Senior devs really out here expecting you to pilot a Boeing 787 Dreamliner while handing you a tricycle with a basket. "Just make it work" they say, as if sheer willpower can compile code faster on a potato. Meanwhile, they're sitting on their MacBook Pros with 64GB of RAM complaining about how "slow" their builds are. The audacity of expecting enterprise-level performance from hardware that struggles to run VS Code without sounding like it's about to achieve liftoff is truly unmatched. But hey, at least the tricycle has a basket for your crushed dreams and cold coffee!

Why Do We Need Backend, Why Don't We Just Connect Front-End To The Database?

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.

Junior Dev Job Market In 2025

Junior Dev Job Market In 2025
When you finally finish that coding bootcamp and realize the "entry-level" positions require 5 years of experience with a framework that came out 2 years ago. Dude's literally offering to code HTML for sustenance—not even asking for money, just *food*. The job market has gotten so brutal that junior devs are out here trading their skills for basic survival needs like they're living in a post-apocalyptic barter economy. "Will implement your landing page for a sandwich" is the new LinkedIn headline. The sad part? Someone's probably gonna lowball him and ask if he knows React too.

The job market paradox strikes again: they want a "junior" position filled, but somehow you need 5+ years of experience to qualify. So naturally, you do what any rational person would do—throw on an oversized coat, practice your deepest voice, and show up looking like three kids stacked under a trench coat trying to buy a rated-R movie ticket. The kid in the harness perfectly captures that suspended-in-limbo feeling when you're trying to meet impossible entry-level requirements. You're literally hanging there, pretending you've shipped products, led design systems, and mastered Figma since kindergarten. Meanwhile, HR is wondering why all the "junior" candidates look suspiciously tall and wobbly. Pro tip: Just list "5 years of experience with frameworks that came out 2 years ago" on your resume. Everyone else is doing it.

I Fear For My Life

I Fear For My Life
When your commit history reads like a confession before execution. First you're casually doing some "AI slop" (probably copy-pasting from ChatGPT without understanding it), then comes the panic-induced "oops" commit, followed by the desperate "update gitignore" to hide the evidence of whatever catastrophe you just pushed to production. The real horror? That gitignore update should've been in the FIRST commit. Now everyone knows you either committed your API keys, pushed 500MB of node_modules, or worse—both. The fear is justified because your senior dev definitely saw this sequence and is currently drafting your performance review.

If You Cannot Code Without AI You Can't Code

If You Cannot Code Without AI You Can't Code
The gatekeepers are out in full force. Someone's threatening to revoke Copilot access like it's some kind of driver's license, and the junior dev is having an existential crisis realizing they've become completely dependent on their AI overlord. Here's the thing though—Tony Stark's logic is brutal but kind of sound. If you literally can't function without the autocomplete wizard, maybe you've skipped a few fundamentals. It's like being a carpenter who can't hammer a nail without a pneumatic nail gun. Sure, the nail gun is faster and better, but you should probably know how nails work. That said, the "real programmers use butterflies" crowd needs to chill. Using AI tools doesn't make you a fraud—it makes you efficient. Just maybe... learn to write a for loop without asking ChatGPT first?

When I Was 12, I Thought My Code Looked "Cooler" With Cryptic Variable Names And Minimal Spacing. The Entire Project Looks Like This.

When I Was 12, I Thought My Code Looked "Cooler" With Cryptic Variable Names And Minimal Spacing. The Entire Project Looks Like This.
Oh, the absolute HORROR of 12-year-old you thinking that hbglp , vbglp , and cdc were the height of programming sophistication! Nothing screams "elite hacker" quite like variable names that look like someone smashed their keyboard while having a seizure, am I right? And that LINE 210? SWEET MOTHER OF SPAGHETTI CODE, it's longer than a CVS receipt! That single line is basically a novel written in the ancient tongue of "I-have-no-idea-what-future-me-will-think." The nested ternaries, the eval() calls, the complete and utter disregard for human readability—it's like looking at the Necronomicon of JavaScript. Young developers everywhere: this is your brain on "looking cool." Please, for the love of all that is holy, use descriptive variable names and hit that Enter key once in a while. Your future self (and literally anyone who has to touch your code) will thank you instead of plotting your demise. 💀

It's Working

It's Working
Someone asked for help printing numbers 1-25 in a clockwise expanding spiral pattern. The "solution" is just five hardcoded print statements with the numbers manually typed out in rows. No loops, no algorithms, no spiral logic—just raw, unfiltered copy-paste energy. The sender confidently declares "It's working" like they just solved P=NP. Technically correct? Sure. The numbers are there. They're in some kind of pattern. Mission accomplished, right? This is the programming equivalent of being asked to build a car and showing up with a skateboard taped to a lawnmower. The person who asked for help said "thanks" which means they either didn't actually look at the code, or they've completely given up on life. Both are valid responses in this industry.

Still In The Learning Process Though

Still In The Learning Process Though
When you tell people you're learning CSS, you go through the five stages of grief in real-time. First there's the confident declaration, then the slow realization that centering a div is somehow still a theological debate in 2024. The emotional rollercoaster from "I got this" to "why won't this margin work" to "what even is specificity" to "I'll just use !important everywhere" happens faster than your browser can render a flexbox. CSS has this unique ability to make you feel like a genius and a complete impostor within the same hour. You'll nail a complex animation, feel like a design god, then spend 2 hours figuring out why your button is 3 pixels off-center. The learning process is basically an infinite loop of Stack Overflow tabs and questioning your career choices.

Is It Really Worth It

Is It Really Worth It
So you finally learned JavaScript after months of callback hell and promise chains. Congratulations. Now someone's gonna tell you that you should've learned TypeScript from the start because "type safety" and "better refactoring." The door you just squeezed through? Yeah, it's basically a trash compactor now, and TypeScript is sitting pretty on the other side like it owns the place. The real kicker is that TypeScript is just JavaScript with extra steps and angle brackets. You could've saved yourself the trauma and gone straight there, but no, you had to learn what undefined is not a function means at runtime like some kind of caveman.

November 18th 2025: A Developer Story
Ah, the classic "fix Cloudflare by pushing to GitHub" scenario. Because nothing says "I understand how infrastructure works" like pushing code changes to fix a third-party CDN outage. It's like trying to fix a power outage by changing the lightbulb. Somewhere, a DevOps engineer is silently screaming while a junior dev proudly announces they've "solved the problem" right before the entire internet magically comes back online on its own.
