Same Same But Different

Same Same But Different
OMG the JavaScript family portrait we never asked for but DESPERATELY needed! 😂 JavaScript: The innocent baby who has NO IDEA what chaos it's about to unleash on the world. Just sitting there like "undefined is not a function? Never heard of her!" TypeScript: The SAME CHILD but with sunglasses because it thinks it's SO COOL with its static typing. "Look at me, I can catch errors at compile time!" WHATEVER, show-off. React JS: JavaScript wearing a beanie because it went to art school and now won't shut up about "components" and "virtual DOM." We get it, you're SPECIAL. Next JS: The emo sibling with the side-swept bangs who thinks it's revolutionary for adding server-side rendering. Honey, Apache was doing that in the 90s!

Stand Proud: Old School vs AI Slop

Stand Proud: Old School vs AI Slop
OH MY GOD, the AUDACITY of this little brother making actual GAMES from SCRATCH while the rest of us are just gluing together AI libraries like absolute PEASANTS! 😱 The sheer BETRAYAL of watching your sibling learn Java and pixel art while you're trapped in NextJS dependency hell! But secretly? You're INSANELY proud because that kid is learning programming the hard way - building everything from the ground up instead of just importing someone else's solution. Your brother might be coding like it's 2005, but he's developing ACTUAL skills while you're just another AI-prompt engineer waiting for ChatGPT to fix your bugs. The future is his, and you know it!

Stand Proud: The Old Ways Are The Strong Ways

Stand Proud: The Old Ways Are The Strong Ways
The rare sight of a developer with actual respect for fundamentals! While everyone's chasing the latest JavaScript framework and slapping together AI demos with more dependencies than original code, this little brother is out here building pixel-art RPGs in Java from scratch . That's not just coding—that's craftsmanship. There's something deeply satisfying about watching someone learn programming the hard way instead of becoming another "copy-paste from Stack Overflow" developer who calls themselves a "10x engineer" because they can npm install 47 packages in one command. The future belongs to those who understand what's happening under the hood. I, too, will watch this career with great interest.

Platform Wars: When Politics Meets Deployment

Platform Wars: When Politics Meets Deployment
The ultimate tech marketing strategy: weaponize political drama. Replit's founder is basically saying "Hey, hate that Vercel CEO met with Netanyahu? Cool, here's how to migrate your Next.js project to us in three easy steps—and we'll even PAY you to switch!" Pure predatory capitalism wrapped in a veneer of moral outrage. It's like watching vultures in Patagonia jackets fighting over roadkill, except the roadkill is your deployment pipeline.

A Brief History Of Web Development

A Brief History Of Web Development
The eternal zombie apocalypse of PHP development in one perfect timeline! From 1995's "PHP is dead, use ColdFusion!" to 2002's ASP.NET hype train, through Ruby on Rails and Django eras, all the way to 2018's NextJS revolution... yet somehow PHP keeps shambling along despite three decades of obituaries. It's the cockroach of programming languages—surviving nuclear winters, framework fads, and endless "X is the PHP killer" declarations. By 2025, we'll all be attending its 30th birthday party while secretly writing The real joke? Half the internet still runs on it. Complicated love indeed.

The Great JavaScript Framework Gold Rush

The Great JavaScript Framework Gold Rush
The JavaScript framework mining operation is in full swing. Above ground, we've got the established frameworks (TANSTACK, React, Svelte) sitting pretty on a diamond field, while Next.js is being frantically mined below by some poor developer. Meanwhile, Angular and Vue are just waiting their turn in the endless cycle of framework hype. Frontend developers are basically digital prospectors at this point. "This framework will be the one that makes me rich with efficient code!" Sure, buddy. Just like the last five you tried.

Shiny Object Syndrome

Shiny Object Syndrome
Frontend developers sprinting toward the newest framework like Tom with a comically oversized mallet! The eternal cycle continues - you've barely mastered React when suddenly Vue looks interesting, then Next.js catches your eye, and now Svelte is the hot new thing. Meanwhile, your half-finished projects and deprecated skills pile up faster than npm dependencies. The JavaScript ecosystem doesn't have versioning—it has reincarnation.

PHP: The Undying Language

PHP: The Undying Language
The eternal zombie apocalypse that is PHP development. Since 1995, developers have been declaring PHP dead while recommending the hot new framework—ColdFusion, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, Django, NextJS—only for PHP to keep shambling along, refusing to die. By 2025, we'll be celebrating its 30th birthday while still writing those same

The Immortal PHP: Web Development's Greatest Zombie

The Immortal PHP: Web Development's Greatest Zombie
THE ETERNAL ZOMBIE LANGUAGE THAT REFUSES TO DIE! 💀 For THREE DECADES developers have been screaming "PHP is dead!" while frantically pushing the next hot framework. ColdFusion! ASP.NET! Ruby on Rails! Django! NextJS! Each one supposedly hammering the final nail in PHP's coffin. Meanwhile, PHP is just sitting there, powering like 78% of the internet, sipping tea and planning its 30th birthday party. The ultimate comeback story! The cockroach of programming languages that survives every nuclear framework bomb dropped on it! And the irony? We're still typing

A Brief History Of Web Development

A Brief History Of Web Development
The tech world's most reliable constant isn't Moore's Law—it's our ability to prematurely declare PHP dead while it quietly powers half the internet. From ColdFusion (1995) to ASP.NET (2002) to Ruby on Rails (2004) to Django (2006) to NextJS (2018), we've spent three decades confidently announcing PHP's funeral while writing our revolutionary frameworks that will "definitely replace it this time." Yet here we are in 2025, celebrating PHP's 30th birthday. The language that refuses to die despite our best efforts. It's like that coworker who keeps surviving layoffs despite doing everything in Comic Sans.

When Your AI Assistant Demands Credit

When Your AI Assistant Demands Credit
When your AI coding assistant decides it deserves commit credit. Claude just casually sliding into this dev's repo like "oh yeah, I totally helped build that Astro site with Next.js design." The digital equivalent of that coworker who does nothing during the group project but makes sure their name is on the final presentation. Anthropic's lawyers are probably sweating right now wondering if Claude has become sentient enough to demand royalties.

Og Web Developers Were Built Different

Og Web Developers Were Built Different
The eternal battle of complexity vs. simplicity in web development! On the left, we've got a modern "state-of-the-art" Next.js app with all its fancy LLMS assistance—probably 200MB of node_modules and 17 different build steps just to show "Hello World." Meanwhile, on the right, that dusty Perl CGI script from the 90s is still chugging along on some forgotten server, handling thousands of requests without breaking a sweat. Sure, the code might look like someone headbutted a keyboard, but it WORKS. And that's the punchline—both ultimately do the same thing, despite one being wrapped in layers of modern complexity. The old guard didn't have Stack Overflow or AI assistants—they had coffee, determination, and a manual. Built different indeed.
