When Full Stack Was Just Web Development

When Full Stack Was Just Web Development
Remember when frontend devs were ABSOLUTE UNITS?! Left side shows the GODLIKE SPECIMEN that was 2010 frontend developers - supporting Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, AND Chrome while making JavaScript OPTIONAL like some kind of superhuman masochist. Meanwhile, 2025 frontend devs are literally CRYING because users won't just download Chrome like the pathetic little browser-monogamists they've become. The absolute COLLAPSE of frontend resilience is the greatest tragedy of our time. *dramatic sob*

Pure As The Driven Snow

Pure As The Driven Snow
BEHOLD! The ancient Google homepage from 1999 - back when the internet was an innocent utopia and Google was just a "pure search engine" without all the modern baggage! ๐Ÿ˜ญ Look at this prehistoric artifact claiming "no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions" - I am DECEASED! ๐Ÿ’€ Fast forward to today where Google tracks your every digital breath, serves you personalized ads before you even THINK about wanting something, and knows more about your browsing habits than your therapist! This is like finding a picture of your ex before they turned into a complete nightmare. So pure. So simple. So TRAGICALLY gone forever!

Google A Din 1999

Google A Din 1999
Ah, Google circa 1999 - the innocent childhood photo before puberty hit and turned it into a data-hoarding monster with commitment issues. Look at that adorable promise: "a pure search engine โ€” no weather, no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions." That aged about as well as my promise to only have one cookie from the jar. Now Google tracks you more closely than your ex on social media and has more ads than a Times Square billboard. The digital equivalent of "I'll just have one drink tonight" followed by waking up with a sponsored hangover.
