The Great HD Downgrade

Remember when 720p was the gold standard of video quality? Fast forward to 2025, and streaming platforms are like "here's your 720p content that looks like it was filmed through a potato during an earthquake." Somehow we've gone full circle where bandwidth throttling and compression algorithms have turned "HD" into "Hardly Distinguishable." The irony of having 8K-capable devices to watch videos that look like they were encoded by a hamster running on a wheel is just *chef's kiss*. Progress!

$500 Phone Camera vs $2500 Laptop Webcam

Spending $2500 on a high-end developer laptop only to join standup meetings looking like you're broadcasting from a witness protection program is the tech industry's greatest irony. Phone manufacturers pour millions into camera R&D while laptop makers apparently salvage webcams from 2005 flip phones they found in a dumpster. Nothing says "I'm a professional software engineer" quite like having your face rendered as an impressionist painting made of exactly 12 pixels. The best part? We'll spend hours optimizing code to save milliseconds but accept video quality that makes us look like we're being viewed through a rain-soaked window. Priorities!
