Number Of Chrome Tabs For Productivity

1 day ago 70.5K views 0 shares

FIVE TABS?! FIVE?!?! *clutches RAM dramatically* Are you TRYING to insult the entire developer community?! The audacity of suggesting we limit ourselves to a mere FIVE Chrome tabs is the most ridiculous thing I've heard since someone said "this code will work on the first try." Every self-respecting developer needs AT LEAST 47 Stack Overflow tabs, 12 documentation pages, 8 GitHub issues, 3 YouTube tutorials, and that one tab with the solution you found 3 weeks ago but were too afraid to close. Chrome eating 16GB of RAM isn't a bug—it's a lifestyle choice, darling! 💅

Password Reset Purgatory

Security Webdev Programming Debugging Frontend

1 day ago 65.1K views 0 shares

The existential crisis of password management in its purest form. First, you can't remember your password. Then when you try to create a new one, the system hits you with that classic security measure preventing you from reusing old passwords—which is technically correct since you just failed to enter it twice! The wrapped-up cat of despair perfectly captures that moment when you realize you're trapped in authentication purgatory. It's that special kind of digital suffering that makes you question your life choices and wonder if maybe you should've just written everything down on a sticky note like your grandparents.

Pepsi Not Found

THE ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of slot 404 being EMPTY while Pepsi bottles sit in slots 403 and 405! It's the most DEVASTATING HTTP status code brought to life in a vending machine! Your mom will NEVER understand why you're cackling like a maniac at what appears to be a normal beverage selection. But WE know the truth - that's a "404 Not Found" error in physical form, sweetie! The universe literally created a monument to missing resources right between two perfectly functional drinks. This is what happens when the simulation glitches!

My Only Complaint

Typescript Webdev Javascript Programming Frontend

Perfect in every way... except for that pesky compilation process. TypeScript enthusiasts know the pain—you've found your dream language with static typing and modern features, but there's always that awkward moment when you have to wait for your code to transpile before it actually runs. It's like dating someone who's absolutely gorgeous but insists on putting on makeup for 20 minutes before leaving the house. Worth it? Probably. Mildly infuriating? Definitely. The irony is palpable—we adopted TypeScript to save time catching errors, yet here we are, watching build progress bars instead of actually coding. The "10 but needs a build step" joke perfectly captures that bittersweet relationship developers have with TypeScript: madly in love with its features while quietly resenting its compilation requirements.

Before They Were Books

Remember the dark ages of programming? Two devs claim they've time-traveled, but when asked "when?" they decide to ask someone nearby for help. The punchline hits when they ask how to center a div (the eternal CSS nightmare) and get told to "look it up in the CSS manual." The final panel reveals this happened "before ChatGPT and StackOverflow" - back when we had to read actual documentation instead of copy-pasting solutions. Truly barbaric times. Some say senior devs still have nightmares about physical reference books.

Blocked By CORS: Heaven's Firewall

Frontend developers trying to access backend data be like: "I was THIS close to paradise!" CORS policy is that annoying bouncer that won't let your API requests into the club even though they're on the list. Nothing quite like spending three hours debugging only to realize you forgot a header in your fetch request. The browser's just sitting there like "Nice try buddy, no cross-origin requests for you today!" And the backend developer who set it up? Probably laughing while sipping coffee somewhere.

The Four Horsemen Of Programmer Reality

The four stages of programmer self-image vs reality: Non-techies think we're hardware wizards fixing computers with screwdrivers. Parents imagine us as rocket scientist geniuses inventing the next NASA breakthrough. Meanwhile, we picture ourselves as brilliant algorithm architects solving complex mathematical problems that would make Einstein sweat. The brutal truth? We're just professional Googlers typing "How to use dates in JavaScript" for the 47th time this week because nobody—and I mean nobody —remembers that godforsaken API without looking it up.

I Flex And Forget

The double entendre of CSS flexbox strikes again! This poor soul was bragging about mastering CSS flex properties yesterday, only to wake up today with complete amnesia about how any of it works. The friend's confusion is all of us trying to remember which flex property does what without checking Stack Overflow every 5 minutes. The "what did he flex about?" line is extra hilarious because CSS flexbox knowledge truly is the most fleeting victory in web development—you think you've conquered it, then your brain decides to garbage collect that information overnight.

HTMX Supremacy Gang

Ah, the eternal tech cycle. A new library emerges and suddenly everyone's ready to toss their 300MB node_modules folder into the trash. HTMX promises the revolutionary concept of *checks notes* using HTML attributes to do AJAX. Meanwhile, React developers who've spent years mastering component lifecycles are quietly updating their résumés while muttering "it's just a phase." The full stack devs are playing both sides so they always come out on top. Classic framework warfare where the only winners are the people writing Medium articles about "Why I Switched From X to Y and Increased Performance by 9000%."

The Great Backend-Frontend Blame Transfer

The classic developer blame game in its natural habitat! The backend dev secretly passes a note with their broken code to the frontend dev, who opens it only to find the dreaded "500 Internal Server Error." The frontend dev's face says it all—pure rage at being handed a server problem they can't fix but will absolutely get blamed for when users start complaining. It's like ordering a pizza and receiving an empty box with a note saying "we're out of ingredients, you figure it out." The eternal backend-frontend relationship summarized in two panels of pure frustration.

Another Year Not Understanding Zeros In JavaScript

Thinking about learning JavaScript: PANIK . Seeing the $29.217 yearly salary: KALM . Discovering that JavaScript thinks 0 > null is false, but 0 >= null is true: EXTREME PANIK . JavaScript's type coercion is like that friend who makes up rules during board games. "No, see, zero is equal to null when it's convenient, but also completely different when it's not. Why? Because I said so."

Vanilla JS: Swimming Against The Framework Current

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!
