Tech trends Memes

The eternal tech cycle strikes again! Poor orange dev is trapped in a "hype loop" – that inescapable vortex where we convince ourselves every new framework/language/tool will solve all our problems. When asked how long this affliction lasts, yellow dev casually drops "about 3 years" – just enough time to master something before it becomes "legacy tech." Then comes the inevitable suggestion to abandon ship for some shiny new "game-changing" solution. The final "good luck" is the chef's kiss – that knowing farewell to someone about to waste years chasing the next technological mirage. Meanwhile, the graveyard of abandoned technologies grows ever larger. Angular.js sends its regards.

The second you mention you're learning to code, every relative suddenly transforms into Usain Bolt chasing you down with AI course recommendations. Nothing says "supportive family" like implying your freshly-learned print("Hello World") is already obsolete before you've even figured out how loops work. The programming journey: 10% learning syntax, 90% sprinting away from people telling you that what you're learning is already outdated. Pro tip: develop selective hearing - it's the most valuable skill in your coding toolkit.
