Vanilla js Memes

Poor vanilla JS developer sitting in a pool of judgment while everyone else enjoys their framework-enhanced lives. The classic "why aren't you using React/Angular/Vue?" interrogation that happens at every dev meetup. Writing raw JavaScript in 2023 is like showing up to a gunfight with a sharpened pencil – technically a weapon, but you're gonna have a bad time. The framework folks will never let you swim in peace!

That poor Vanilla JS developer surrounded by framework fanatics in the JavaScript pool party! The lone dev just trying to write clean, native code while everyone points and judges like he brought a flip phone to an iPhone convention. Framework zealots never miss a chance to evangelize their library of choice, while vanilla devs are left explaining why they don't need 300MB of node_modules to render a button. The irony? That vanilla JS dev probably understands the language better than all the framework swimmers combined!

Remember when we used to manipulate the DOM with jQuery like it was some kind of magical superpower? Those were the days... Tom (vanilla JavaScript) chasing Jerry (jQuery) around the codebase, trying to catch that sweet syntax sugar that made everything so much easier. Now we've got React, Vue, and Angular while jQuery sits in the corner collecting dust like that USB stick with your first website. Pour one out for the library that saved us from IE6 compatibility nightmares and made us feel like wizards for writing $('#myElement').fadeIn() instead of 17 lines of vanilla JS.

Ah yes, the classic "let's ditch the framework" presentation that conveniently forgets to mention they also fired half their users. Sure, your TTI improved by 50% when nobody's using your app anymore! Next slide: "By replacing our database with a text file, we saw a 99% reduction in storage costs!" The JavaScript pendulum swings once again—React is bloated! Vanilla JS is king! Until next quarter when they'll discover this amazing new framework called *checks notes* Angular.
