It Works Or Not, There Is No In Between
Ah, the strange tech timeline we exist in. Old enough to have endured the demonic screeching of dial-up modems connecting at 56kbps, waiting 10 minutes for a single JPEG to load... yet completely unable to tolerate a modern website that doesn't appear instantly. Our patience was forged in digital hellfire only to completely evaporate with technological progress. The irony of surviving 30-minute downloads back then but rage-closing Chrome tabs after 5 seconds now is the perfect encapsulation of how utterly spoiled we've become. Progress is a cruel mistress.

The 500KB CSS Catastrophe
The eternal frontend struggle in three acts: Act 1: Your website and performance are perfectly balanced on the seesaw. Life is good. Act 2: "Let me just add this tiny CSS library that saves three lines of code." *Balance shifts slightly* Act 3: *500KB later* Your website is now crushing performance into the stratosphere while the hand of fate (probably your project manager) reaches in to fix the disaster. And this, friends, is why we can't have nice things in web development. Those "lightweight" libraries are the gateway drug to bundle bloat.

Ah, the sweet irony of digital life! This meme hits right in the bandwidth feels. In a world where devs optimize every byte to squeeze performance, here we are, mindlessly reposting cat pics and wasting 151kb of precious internet data. That's like worrying about memory leaks in your code while simultaneously downloading 17 npm packages just to center a div. The internet was built for greatness, and we use it to circulate the same content over and over. Meanwhile, somewhere a backend engineer is crying over server costs while this cat's face gets duplicated across a million devices. Peak digital efficiency!
