Using The Internet Is Hell These Days

Using The Internet Is Hell These Days
Oh. My. GOD! The absolute NIGHTMARE of modern web browsing! You can't take TWO DIGITAL STEPS without Cloudflare jumping out like an overprotective parent screaming "PROVE YOU'RE NOT A ROBOT!" 🤖 Just trying to read a blog about why my code isn't working? CAPTCHA TIME! Want to check documentation? VERIFY HUMANITY FIRST! Attempting to access StackOverflow to solve the problem that's making me question my career choices? SORRY SWEETIE, CLICK ALL THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS FIRST! The internet has trust issues and I'm taking it PERSONALLY. 💔

Trying To Go Back To Making A Webpage With Just Raw HTML/CSS/JS

Trying To Go Back To Making A Webpage With Just Raw HTML/CSS/JS
Look at this poor dev crawling desperately toward their framework lifelines. The modern web developer's equivalent of withdrawal symptoms. "Just one more component library, I swear I can quit Angular anytime!" Remember when we built websites with just HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS? No dependency hell, no 500MB node_modules folder, no "npm audit fix" nightmares. Those were simpler times. Now we've created generations of devs who break into cold sweats at the thought of writing a querySelector instead of using their precious framework's state management. The irony is we've come full circle - the "revolutionary" solutions all eventually try to mimic the simplicity we abandoned in the first place. Yet here we are, crawling back to our framework overlords because god forbid we handle DOM updates manually.

Stop Doing JavaScript

Stop Doing JavaScript
Remember when the web was just static HTML? Those were simpler times. Now we're over here connecting Redux thunks to Suspense while our node_modules folder consumes half our hard drive space. JavaScript started as a tiny language to make form validation less painful, but somehow evolved into this monster where your shopping cart app needs 807 dependencies just to render "undefined apples please" to the screen. The best part? We've collectively convinced ourselves this is normal. Meanwhile, Flash—problematic as it was—is dead, but we've replaced it with an ecosystem so complex that half the developers using it don't understand what's happening under the hood. But hey, at least we can run JavaScript everywhere now. Even places it absolutely shouldn't be.

HTML Is So Hard

HTML Is So Hard
The progression from "HTML is basic makeup" to "CSS adds some color" is fine, but then suddenly HTTP is portrayed as rocket science? Give me a break. The real punchline is creating an entire JavaScript framework because apparently making a GET request is too complicated. This is why we have 47 versions of React knockoffs and your website takes 15 seconds to load a button. Frontend development in 2024: where we solve problems we created ourselves with solutions that create more problems.

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! 😂
