The Immortal PHP: Still Not Dead In 2025

The Immortal PHP: Still Not Dead In 2025
For nearly three decades, developers have been declaring PHP's funeral while hyping the next hot framework. ColdFusion, ASP.net, Django, Rails, Flask, Angular, Next.js, Python—they've all taken turns as PHP's supposed executioner. Yet there it stands in 2025, like some immortal deity rising from the clouds, declaring "As you can see, I am not dead." PHP is basically the tech world's cockroach—it would survive a nuclear apocalypse while React is still trying to resolve its dependencies.

The Circle Of Frontend Hell

The Circle Of Frontend Hell
Frontend developers just collectively shuddered at this monstrosity. That circular screen is basically saying "Have fun making your responsive designs work on THIS, suckers!" It's like someone looked at the rectangular screens we've been optimizing for decades and thought, "You know what would be fun? Geometry warfare!" Imagine the CSS nightmares. Your perfectly crafted grid layout? Dead. Your meticulously positioned elements? Homeless. Your sanity? Gone. The corners don't even exist anymore! Where do notifications go? Into the void, apparently. The person asking for ONE reason not to buy it clearly hasn't spent hours debugging why their div is 1px off. Meanwhile, frontend devs are already updating their resumes with "survived circular viewport trauma" as a skill.

Border Radius 14px: The Frontend Developer's Kryptonite

Border Radius 14px: The Frontend Developer's Kryptonite
Frontend developers: fearless warriors of the web... until they encounter a div with sharp corners. That's when the true horror begins. The same people who can wrangle JavaScript frameworks and battle cross-browser compatibility issues suddenly break into cold sweats at the sight of a button without border-radius: 14px . Because nothing says "I'm a serious developer" like being physically repulsed by 90-degree angles in your UI.

I Have Sympathy For Your Responsive Nightmares

I Have Sympathy For Your Responsive Nightmares
The top part shows futuristic foldable devices in various configurations - bent, flat, folded like origami masterpieces that Samsung's engineers dreamed up after a wild night of drinking. Meanwhile, web developers are depicted as crying children having existential breakdowns. Why? Because they now have to make websites look perfect on yet another bizarre screen dimension . Just when they mastered responsive design for phones, tablets, and desktops, the hardware folks decided "what if screens... but bendy ?" Pure sadism. Somewhere, a CSS developer is looking at these images while whispering "please... no more media queries... I have a family."

Error: Your Error Has Errored

Error: Your Error Has Errored
When your error handler throws an error while trying to explain an error. That's peak debugging right there. "The server returned this error: Error." Thanks, Captain Obvious! Nothing quite like those helpful error messages that tell you absolutely nothing useful. Just refresh your browser and pray to the server gods, because that's apparently our debugging strategy now. Ten years of engineering experience and I'm still getting error messages that might as well say "something broke lol good luck finding out what."

Node Modules: The Black Hole Of Your Hard Drive

Node Modules: The Black Hole Of Your Hard Drive
Ah, the classic "dedicate an entire hard drive to node_modules" approach. When your dependencies need more space than your operating system, university education, and actual web development code combined. That 402GB drive labeled "node_modules" isn't even a joke anymore—it's just documentation of the JavaScript ecosystem's storage requirements. At this point, NASA could've sent npm install to Mars and back with less data than what's sitting in that folder.

Enter A Postal Address, I Think You'll Find It Near-Impossible

Enter A Postal Address, I Think You'll Find It Near-Impossible
Ah, the digital equivalent of waterboarding! This masterpiece of UI sadism forces you to enter your house number digit by digit with separate inputs for thousands, hundreds, tens, and units. And just when you think it can't get worse, it makes you select each character of your postcode using sliders that go from SPACE to Z. This is the form that Satan himself would create if he worked in frontend development. The designer clearly woke up and chose violence that day. Somewhere, a UX designer is having heart palpitations just looking at this. The best part? The "Intentionally Bad UX" title - as if we needed that clarification. It's like labeling a tornado as "Intentionally Windy Weather."

Thanks I Hate Variable Variables

Thanks I Hate Variable Variables
JavaScript developers really woke up one day and said "Let's create four different ways to declare variables, each with subtly different rules that will absolutely destroy newcomers' sanity." And then they had the audacity to add const const which is technically valid syntax. The real horror is that last example where var var lets you mutate your string into whatever Lovecraftian nightmare you want. No wonder half of Stack Overflow is just people asking "why doesn't my variable work?" Ten years of experience and I still occasionally get bitten by this nonsense.

Timeout Sort: The Accidental Sorting Algorithm

Timeout Sort: The Accidental Sorting Algorithm
Behold the accidental genius of setTimeout sorting! The code loops through an array and logs each value using setTimeout with the value itself as the delay. Since JavaScript's event loop processes timeouts in order of expiration, smaller numbers appear first in the console. Congratulations! You've invented the world's most inefficient sorting algorithm with O(max(array)) time complexity. The array magically appears sorted in the console, not because of any actual sorting logic, but because the browser's event scheduler is doing all the work. Somewhere, a computer science professor just felt a disturbance in the force.

Just One Hit And All The Renewal Fees Will Be Worth It

Just One Hit And All The Renewal Fees Will Be Worth It
Domain hoarders are the tech world's secret addicts. Hiding in the attic with 47 unused domains they're "definitely going to build something on someday." Meanwhile, they're dropping $500 annually on renewals for gems like blockchain-cat-nft-revolution.com that seemed brilliant at 2 AM after three energy drinks. The family downstairs has no idea why money keeps disappearing, while upstairs you're refreshing domain auctions like it's the stock market. "This one's an investment," you whisper to yourself, as you register your 12th variation of a pun nobody else understands.

HTTP Status Codes: The Bathroom Edition

HTTP Status Codes: The Bathroom Edition
OH. MY. GOD. The bathroom saga of HTTP status codes is the DRAMA I never knew I needed! 💀 From the mundane 301 redirect (gotta pee somewhere else) to the catastrophic 500 internal server error (TENTACLE MONSTER IN THE TOILET?!), this is basically the restroom version of a horror film! And the 401 is MISSING because you need AUTHENTICATION to get in! Nobody gave you the bathroom pass, honey! Meanwhile, 402 is standing there like "Payment Required" with a velvet rope, acting like it's some exclusive club bathroom. THE AUDACITY. And don't get me started on 418 ("I'm a teapot")... like, sweetie, this is NOT the time for an identity crisis!

The Ultimate Beginner's Nightmare

The Ultimate Beginner's Nightmare
Initially, our character shows compassion for a tiny spider, wanting to save it because "all life is precious." But when the spider reveals it teaches JavaScript as a first language to beginners, our hero's expression transforms into pure horror. Teaching JavaScript first is like giving a teenager a Formula 1 car before they've mastered a bicycle. Sure, they might eventually figure it out, but the journey will involve countless crashes, inexplicable behaviors, and deeply questionable design decisions. undefined is not null is not NaN is not... you get it.
