The Lost Art Of Building From Scratch

5 hours ago 50.6K views 0 shares

The brutal truth of modern software development in one devastating punchline. We've become so dependent on frameworks and libraries that we've forgotten the fundamental skills. Building a browser from scratch? Might as well ask us to build a rocket to Mars using only a paperclip and some chewing gum. What makes this extra spicy is that it's coming from an older-generation programmer who actually remembers when people did build things from scratch. Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here struggling when npm is down for 5 minutes. The future date (2025) is just the cherry on top of this existential crisis sundae. The knowledge gap isn't getting better—it's getting worse.

I Just Want A Normal Browser

Browser vendors these days are in an abusive relationship with their users. One hand choking you with "VC FUNDED INNOVATION" (aka whatever shiny feature will please investors), while the other smacks you with "USELESS AI FEATURE" nobody asked for. Meanwhile, poor Chromium is just sitting there as the foundation that actually makes everything work. The modern browser experience in a nutshell: "Here's your RAM-devouring browser with 57 AI assistants that can't figure out how to load a simple webpage without crashing!"

Internet Explorer Vs. Murder Rate

Behold, the most compelling evidence that Internet Explorer was literally killing people. As IE's market share dropped from 2006 to 2011, so did the murder rate! This is what statisticians call "correlation without causation" - or what I call "the perfect excuse to uninstall IE from your grandparents' computer." Maybe people were just less murderous when they weren't waiting 45 seconds for a webpage to load. Or perhaps Firefox and Chrome were secretly running crime prevention programs in the background.

The Real Reason Your Browser Problems Disappear

Two hungry dogs eyeing cookies with text claiming they're "tech support" here to "delete your cookies." The perfect representation of what happens when you call IT with a browser problem. They'll clear your cache, delete your cookies, and ask if you've tried turning it off and on again—all while secretly thinking about lunch. Your browsing history is safe... your snacks, not so much.

Self-loathing takes a backseat when you encounter smooth scrolling. Nothing triggers existential dread quite like watching your page float around like it's on ice skates instead of jumping to exactly where you clicked. Real developers disable that abomination immediately after OS installation. The mouse wheel should move in discrete chunks, as God intended.

The Great Browser Betrayal

OMG, the ULTIMATE browser betrayal!!! 😱 Chrome went from being the hot new alternative that made us all turn our heads away from Firefox, to becoming the very monster we once fled from! The irony is so thick you could debug it with a breakpoint. Firefox got a glow-up while Chrome just got... more Google-y. It's the tech equivalent of the nerdy kid becoming prom king while the popular jock peaked in high school. The browser tables have COMPLETELY TURNED and I am LIVING for this drama! History really does repeat itself in the most savage way possible.

Firefox For The Win!

Firefox just casually flexing on Chrome by disabling ad blockers... for the competition. While Google's over there killing ad blockers in Chrome, Firefox is like "Oh this extension that blocks ads on a competitor's product? Yeah, we don't support that anymore." The irony is chef's-kiss perfect. It's like watching your ex's rebound relationship fail spectacularly while you're thriving with someone better.

The Death Of Ad Blocking (2025, Colorized)

Ah, the funeral for uBlock Origin, scheduled for July 2025. Firefox is there pointing at the tombstone like "you seeing this?" while Chrome stands nearby looking suspiciously guilty. Google's plan to kill ad blockers with Manifest V3 is basically sending flowers to its own revenue stream. Firefox users just sitting here with popcorn watching Chrome users discover what the internet looks like without ad blocking. It's like watching someone experience pop-up ads for the first time since 2005.

Chrome's Worthy Opponent Has Entered The Chat

Reddit's tab proudly announcing it's devouring 1.5 GB of RAM like it's a lightweight achievement. Meanwhile, your computer is silently screaming as Reddit joins Chrome in the "let's hoard all system resources" competition. The real web development flex isn't making something efficient—it's making users upgrade their hardware to scroll through cat pictures and programming jokes.

The Only Purpose Internet Explorer Serves

Internet Explorer's sole purpose in life has been reduced to downloading other browsers. The little blue 'e' desperately seeks validation—"Hey does anyone need me?"—only to be met with cold rejection. But then! A glimmer of hope when someone finally needs it... just to download Firefox. The circle of browser life continues. The only time IE gets any attention is when you've formatted your PC and need something—ANYTHING—to download Chrome, Firefox, or literally any other browser. It's like being the ladder that helps someone climb up, only to be kicked away immediately after.
