Opera Memes

Ah, the classic Opera GX saga of the 18KB fried egg! First they proudly announce removing this random egg image to save precious kilobytes, then immediately add it back because users revolted. This is peak software development - spend hours optimizing code, shave off a few KB, and then discover users are more attached to the random Easter egg than your performance improvements. Nothing says "modern web development" quite like fighting over 18KB in a world of multi-gigabyte downloads. Meanwhile, Chrome is sitting in the corner consuming 8GB of RAM while judging everyone.

Opera GX: "We've added the fried egg back to program files due to popular demand." Also Opera GX: "We saved 18kb by removing this fried egg image that's been sitting in our codebase since 2019." Nothing says "professional software development" quite like embedding random food pictures in your browser. Somewhere, a developer spent actual work hours arguing about egg retention in a code review. And people wonder why software updates take so long.
