OG Developers

19 hours ago 168.8K views 0 shares

Back in the day, developers coded with ZERO visual feedback and somehow survived. No fancy UI libraries, no CSS animations, no loading spinners—just raw, brutal, text-based reality. You want to see what your button looks like? Too bad, there's no animation for it. You'll just have to *imagine* it, peasant. Modern devs are out here panicking when their hot reload takes 2 seconds, while the OGs were literally coding blind, compiling for 45 minutes, and THEN finding out their UI was broken. They didn't need animations—they had FAITH and a cigarette. Absolute legends who built the internet with nothing but terminal windows and pure spite.

Yummy Cookies

We've all been there. That cookie consent banner pops up and you just mindlessly click through because you need to read that Stack Overflow answer right now . "By continuing using this site you agree to share your cookies" – yeah sure whatever, take my data, my browsing history, my grandmother's maiden name, I don't care. Then you realize you just gave away enough tracking data to reconstruct your entire digital life. Third-party cookies, analytics scripts, fingerprinting... you're basically an open book now. But hey, at least you got to see that one code snippet that might solve your problem. The real joke? We all know these banners are basically legal theater at this point. Nobody reads them, everybody clicks accept, and the websites know it. GDPR tried to save us, but our impatience is stronger than any regulation.

Frontend Bliss Vs Backend Abyss

Backend Webdev Programming Debugging Databases

Frontend devs out here living their best life, making buttons bounce and gradients shimmer in a peaceful meadow of React components and CSS animations. Meanwhile, backend devs are fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic wasteland of database deadlocks, race conditions, and microservices that won't stop throwing 500 errors. The contrast perfectly captures the eternal struggle: frontend gets to play with pretty colors and smooth transitions while backend is literally debugging why the authentication service decided to spontaneously combust at 2 PM on a Tuesday. One side is centering divs in sunshine, the other is being chased by memory leaks and zombie processes. Fun fact: Studies show that backend developers consume 47% more coffee and have a 300% higher chance of mumbling "it works on my machine" into the void.

Great Use Of Electricity

AI Webdev Programming Frontend

The 80s rich guy had a mansion, a Ferrari, and probably a decent stock portfolio. Fast forward to 2026, and the new definition of wealth is... prompting an AI to change a button color to green. We've gone from "greed is good" to "please Claude, make it #00FF00." The real kicker? That AI prompt probably burned through enough GPU cycles to power a small village, all to accomplish what one line of CSS could've done in 0.0001 seconds. But hey, at least we're using cutting-edge technology to reinvent the wheel, one modal button at a time. The electricity bill for training these LLMs could probably buy you that Ferrari, but instead we're using it to avoid typing background-color: green;

Can't Center Divs

You've tried every flexbox and CSS Grid property known to humanity, consulted three different Stack Overflow threads, sacrificed a rubber duck to the coding gods, and yet that div sits there like a stubborn toddler refusing to move to the middle of the screen. The SpongeBob image of Squidward lying in bed, exhausted and defeated, captures that exact moment when you realize you've thrown literally every centering technique at the problem and it's STILL not centered. Maybe the div just enjoys watching you suffer. Pro tip: Did you remember to set the parent container's height? No? There's your problem. You're welcome.

Teach Em Young

Kid picks up a JavaScript book and immediately has an existential crisis in the shopping cart. Can't blame them—they haven't even learned about undefined vs null yet and they're already experiencing the emotional trauma that comes with it. Starting with JavaScript is like learning to swim by being thrown into the ocean during a storm. Sure, you'll eventually figure out how to float, but you'll question every life decision that led you there. The kid's reaction is honestly the most realistic response to encountering JavaScript for the first time—pure, unfiltered despair. Fun fact: This is actually the recommended age to start learning JavaScript. By the time they're old enough to understand what a callback hell is, they'll already be numb to the pain.

QA Skipped. Chaos Delivered.

Frontend dev thought they could ship responsive design without testing on actual devices. Now they're frantically checking if their CSS Grid masterpiece looks like abstract art on every screen size known to humanity. The progression from confident desktop view to "why does this button overlap three continents on mobile" is a journey we've all witnessed. Bonus points for the MacBook in the background - because nothing says "I've made a terrible mistake" like needing to debug on four devices simultaneously while your production deployment timer counts down. Should've listened to QA. They would've caught this before users started tweeting screenshots.

Responsive Design, But It's A Cat

When you set both width and height to 100% and your element decides to become a PERFECT CUBE OF CHAOS. This cat has literally achieved what every frontend dev fears—the dreaded aspect ratio nightmare where your carefully crafted design just... expands in ALL directions simultaneously. No max-width, no aspect-ratio property, no media queries to save you—just pure, unfiltered geometric horror. The cat's face says it all: "I have become the container, destroyer of layouts." This is what happens when you forget that 100% means 100% of the PARENT, and apparently this cat's parent was a Rubik's Cube. Someone call a CSS exorcist.

Last Warning Html

You can insult them, mock them, call them every name in the book and they'll just shrug it off with that cool emoji energy. But the SECOND you dare suggest HTML is a programming language? Oh honey, now you've crossed the line. The gloves are OFF. The sunglasses are SHATTERED. Someone's about to catch hands over this markup vs. programming language debate that's been raging since the dawn of the internet. Because apparently calling someone ugly is forgivable, but calling HTML a programming language is a war crime punishable by immediate violence. The hierarchy of developer rage is truly something to behold.

Traumatic Responsive Design For FE Developers

Traumatic Responsive Design For FE Developers

So someone decided to make a laptop shaped like a circle. Congrats, you just gave every frontend dev PTSD flashbacks. You know those media queries you spent weeks perfecting? The ones that handle desktop, tablet, mobile, and that one weird iPad orientation? Yeah, throw them all in the trash. This monstrosity requires you to calculate CSS for a circular viewport where the corners just... don't exist. Imagine trying to center a div when the screen itself is already centered in the most cursed way possible. Your flexbox is crying. Your grid layout just filed for unemployment. And don't even get me started on how you'd handle text overflow on the edges. The real kicker? Some PM will see this and ask "can we support this in our next sprint?" No, Karen. We cannot.

404 Shower Not Found!

When your personal hygiene goes offline and returns a 404 error. This shower curtain perfectly captures the developer lifestyle: even basic human necessities get the Internet Explorer treatment. The URL bar reading "http://www.shower.com" with that classic "Cannot find server" message is chef's kiss—because apparently bathing requires a stable internet connection now. The fact that it's styled as Internet Explorer makes it even better. Not only can you not find the shower, but you're also using the browser equivalent of a dial-up modem to search for it. "The page you are looking for is currently unavailable" hits different when you realize it's been three days since your last shower and your rubber duck is judging you. Pro tip: Have you tried clearing your cache? Or maybe just... stepping into the shower? The web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, but your coworkers are experiencing olfactory difficulties.

HTML Is Your Calm Friend, JavaScript Is Your Crazy Cousin

HTML just wants to chill on the seesaw with you, living its best static life. Then JavaScript shows up like that one friend who "just wants to help" and suddenly you're airborne, questioning all your life choices. HTML keeps things balanced and predictable—it's literally just markup, doing exactly what you tell it to do. But the moment JavaScript enters the chat, chaos ensues. Asynchronous callbacks, event bubbling, hoisting, closures... next thing you know, you're flying off into the void while JavaScript cheerfully waves goodbye. The progression from peaceful coexistence to absolute mayhem is basically every web developer's journey from "I'll just add a little interactivity" to "WHY IS UNDEFINED NOT A FUNCTION?!"
