Tech cynicism Memes

The evolutionary timeline of every software developer's soul, as told by SpongeBob characters. First comes Patrick—blissfully ignorant, writing spaghetti code and thinking "it works on my machine" is a valid defense. Then SpongeBob—bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, reading documentation, following best practices, and believing deadlines are realistic concepts. Finally, Squidward—the battle-hardened veteran who's seen too many legacy codebases, survived too many midnight deployments, and realized that every elegant solution today becomes tomorrow's technical debt. The transformation isn't a question of if, but when. Your optimism has an expiration date, and it's probably your next sprint planning meeting.

The tech world's circle of hate continues! First, we collectively decided Vibecoding was the enemy - you know, that annoying "just vibe with the code" approach where documentation is optional and chaos is encouraged. But wait! Look at that 3251 error code getting violently stabbed in the last panel - that's tomorrow's villain waiting to be despised. Every six months we need something new to blame for our suffering. Remember when we hated jQuery? Then MongoDB? Then microservices? Then blockchain? The cycle never ends because it's easier to hate the latest framework than admit we're building increasingly complex solutions to problems we created with our previous "revolutionary" approach.
