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.

Congratulations, You DDoSed Yourself
When you're so good at stopping DDoS attacks that you accidentally DDoS yourself. Cloudflare, the company that shields websites from attacks, managed to take down their own API with a simple React useEffect hook mistake. It's like a firefighter setting their own station on fire while demonstrating how not to start fires. The irony is just *chef's kiss* - a dashboard loop causing an API outage. Somewhere, a junior dev is updating their resume while a senior dev is explaining to management that "it worked on my machine."

The Five Stages Of Developer Delusion

The Five Stages Of Developer Delusion
The five stages of beginner developer delusion, perfectly captured in skeletal form. It starts with innocent enthusiasm, quickly escalates to "I'm learning React to learn JavaScript" (which is like saying "I'm learning to fly a Boeing 747 to understand gravity"), then rapidly descends into the fever dream of building Netflix clones with ChatGPT after 72 hours of coding. By stage four, our protagonist is planning an AI SaaS empire after a week of copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers. The final transformation into a complete skeleton represents the ultimate delusion: dropping engineering college for a bootcamp that "guarantees" job offers. Senior developers watching this evolution: *sips coffee in traumatized silence*

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.

The Infinite Framework Treadmill
The web development circle of life in all its painful glory. Thirty years of "innovation" and what do we have to show for it? A new framework every Tuesday designed to fix the problems created by last Thursday's framework. Meanwhile, jQuery—that ancient relic we've been trying to kill since Obama's first term—is still powering most of the internet like some unkillable cockroach after a nuclear apocalypse. The punchline isn't even the timeline of increasingly niche frameworks; it's that after all our architectural patterns, virtual DOMs, and reactive state management, we've somehow ended up exactly where we started. It's not progress; it's just fashion with semicolons.

AI Can Almost Do A "FIXME"... We're Cooked
OH. MY. GOD. The IDE is not just highlighting the error—it's offering to FIX IT WITH AI! 💀 This is the digital equivalent of handing a junior dev the keys to production and saying "whatever happens, happens!" The computer is literally telling us "children doesn't exist" and then offering to write our code FOR US. Excuse me while I update my LinkedIn profile to "Former Developer" because if AI can debug React props, what am I even doing with my life?! Next thing you know, it'll be writing passive-aggressive comments about my variable naming conventions!

Welcome Aboard The Error Express
The bus to frontend hell has two passengers: JavaScript and TypeScript, both looking equally terrified as they stare at the React error message windshield. That TypeScript was supposed to save you from "undefined" errors, but here you both are, equally doomed by some incomprehensible prop type mismatch that might as well be written in ancient Sumerian. The error stack trace mockingly points to line 11:14 - probably where your will to live disappeared about three hours ago. But hey, at least with TypeScript you can experience the same existential dread with better autocomplete!

Say No To Bloat
Spotted in the wild: a developer coding without their framework security blanket. The horror! Remember when we built websites with just HTML, CSS, and maybe some vanilla JavaScript? Now we need 237 npm packages just to center a div. The modern frontend ecosystem has convinced us that writing raw HTML is practically a war crime. Meanwhile, that "psychopath" probably shipped a working website while the rest of us were still configuring webpack.

What Do You Mean I Can't Define Hooks For Everything
THE ABSOLUTE HORROR of returning to the prehistoric coding wasteland! After years of being coddled by frameworks with their fancy useEffect, useState, and useWhateverYouWant hooks, you're suddenly thrust back into the Stone Age of web development. It's like being forced to hunt your own food after living at a 5-star resort! Your fingers, once dancing gracefully across custom hooks, now trembling as they type out raw JavaScript like some kind of ANIMAL. The AUDACITY of having to manually manage DOM updates! The INDIGNITY of writing more than three lines of code to handle a simple state change! I'm getting heart palpitations just THINKING about it! 💀

Reject Modernity, Embrace Tradition
The ultimate hipster programmer manifesto has arrived! At the top, we have the "Reject modernity" squad featuring React, Tailwind, Vue, some hipster hamster, and TypeScript—basically everything recruiters won't stop messaging you about on LinkedIn. Meanwhile, the "Embrace tradition" crew is just chilling below with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Python—you know, the technologies that actually keep the internet from imploding. It's like choosing between a complicated pour-over coffee ritual versus just drinking the office coffee that somehow still works. Sure, the modern frameworks look impressive on your resume, but when the apocalypse comes, who do you think will still be able to make a website work? The person who can write vanilla JS or the one who needs 37 dependencies just to center a div?

The Frontend Developer's Descent Into Madness
The ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of frontend development in four panels! 😱 First, you climb the HTML mountain - CHILD'S PLAY! Then CSS has you breaking a little sweat but still feeling confident. Bootstrap swoops in like a superhero with its magical components and you're practically FLOATING with joy! But then... FRAMEWORKS ATTACK! Vue, Angular, React - the unholy trinity that sends you PLUMMETING into the abyss of dependency hell! Just when you thought you were becoming a web dev master, the ecosystem reminds you that you're actually a tiny speck in its ever-expanding universe. The frontend journey isn't a mountain climb - it's a rollercoaster designed by SADISTS!

Now Which One Of You Wrote This Library
Found in the wild depths of npm: a package called "react-buttplug" that connects React to... well, exactly what you think. The description "Here there be WASM" is the cherry on top of this cursed sundae. The fact that someone spent actual development hours creating a React provider for Buttplug.io (a real "intimate hardware" API) and then published it with that name is peak developer humor. Five years later and zero dependents - shocking absolutely no one. This is what happens when you tell developers "you can build anything" without adding "but please don't."
