Software Development If Malicious Actors Didn't Exist
Ah yes, the utopian fantasy where we don't need to spend 80% of our development time patching security vulnerabilities and implementing authentication systems. Without hackers, we'd all be building flying cars and teleportation devices instead of arguing about whether to hash passwords with bcrypt or Argon2id. The most dangerous thing in this pristine cityscape would be a null pointer exception, and even that would probably just result in a polite error message rather than a system meltdown. Meanwhile, back in reality, I'm implementing my 17th CAPTCHA today because someone keeps trying to brute force our login page from an IP in North Korea.

If Only Brendan Eich Had One More Day
IMAGINE THE UTOPIA WE WERE ROBBED OF! 😭 JavaScript, the language that powers 99% of the web, was infamously created by Brendan Eich in just 10 DAYS back in 1995. TEN. DAYS. The result? A language with more quirks than a cat café on catnip! One more day could have fixed the nightmare that is type coercion, the existential crisis of null vs undefined , and that absolute TRAVESTY where [] + [] equals an empty string but [] + {} is "[object Object]"! The audacity! Now we're all stuck patching this cosmic joke with TypeScript like putting designer bandaids on a coding catastrophe. Just ONE more day, Brendan! We could've had flying cars instead of framework fatigue!

Society If HTML Could Be Seamlessly Used With Any Language
Ah, the utopian fantasy where HTML plays nicely with everything. Right now we're stuck in a reality where frontend devs spend 60% of their time making divs align properly and the other 40% explaining to clients why their website can't look identical on Internet Explorer 8. If HTML truly worked seamlessly with any language, we'd have flying cars and world peace instead of 47 JavaScript frameworks that all accomplish the same thing slightly differently.
