How To End A Frontend Developer's Career

How To End A Frontend Developer's Career
Ah, the four-step career assassination tutorial! Nothing sends a frontend developer into existential crisis faster than watching someone test their "responsive" design by actually... *checks notes*... using different devices. The psychological warfare begins with showing off multiple devices, continues with the developer watching in horror as their beautiful creation morphs into an eldritch abomination across screens, and culminates with the coup de grâce: printing the monstrosity to immortalize their shame. Somewhere, a CSS media query is crying. Somewhere else, a Bootstrap developer is pouring another drink.

The Responsive Design Paradox

The Responsive Design Paradox
Ah, the irony of modern web development. First panel: "How to make a responsive website" - presented with all the confidence of someone who just discovered media queries yesterday. Second panel: The same "expert's" actual website demanding you increase your window size or switch to desktop because apparently their definition of "responsive" is "works exclusively on screens the size of a small billboard." Nothing says frontend expertise quite like telling mobile users their devices are the problem. The digital equivalent of "you're holding it wrong."

Folding Phones: The Web Developer's New Nightmare

Folding Phones: The Web Developer's New Nightmare
Folding phones: "Look at our revolutionary technology!" Web developers: *existential crisis intensifies* Just when we finally convinced clients that websites don't need to look identical on every device, Samsung drops these origami nightmares. Responsive design was hard enough with rectangles. Now we're debugging layouts that fold like a lawn chair. Media queries don't have a "bent in half" setting yet.

Just Ship It, No One's Using An 86" Screen... Right?

Just Ship It, No One's Using An 86" Screen... Right?
When the product manager proudly announces support for 86-inch displays while the frontend devs are sweating bullets trying to figure out how to make that responsive layout not explode. Nothing quite captures the silent horror of realizing your carefully crafted CSS is about to be stretched across a display the size of a small country. The PM's excitement is directly proportional to the developer's existential dread. Meanwhile, somewhere in the codebase: max-width: 1200px; /* nobody will ever need more than this */

Come On, It's 2025, Where's My Automatic Dark Mode?

Come On, It's 2025, Where's My Automatic Dark Mode?
Ah yes, the sudden retina assault that happens when you click a link at 11pm. Nothing quite like having your eyeballs incinerated by #FFFFFF backgrounds when you're coding in your cave. It's 2025 and we've got AI generating entire codebases, but somehow implementing prefers-color-scheme media query is still considered bleeding-edge technology for half the internet. I've literally added dark mode to sites in 10 minutes, but apparently that's too much effort for billion-dollar companies. The sunglasses aren't fashion—they're survival equipment for frontend developers.
