Sales Guy Found Chat GPT

Oh boy, someone gave the sales guy access to ChatGPT and he immediately built a "caffeine intake calculator for the world to see" running on localhost:8000. Because nothing says "global deployment" like a development server that only works on your own machine. The best part? He's proudly announcing it on LinkedIn like he just launched the next unicorn startup. Meanwhile, every developer in the comments is screaming internally because localhost literally means "only accessible on YOUR computer, buddy." It's like building a restaurant in your basement and wondering why customers aren't showing up. Pro tip for our entrepreneurial friend: before you revolutionize the world with your AI-generated app, maybe learn the difference between localhost and an actual deployed URL. But hey, at least we know he's consuming 495mg of caffeine per day—he's gonna need it when the devs explain networking basics to him.

Oh, the absolute HORROR of our dystopian future! Picture it: 2030, you're just trying to vibe and code in peace, maybe install a simple package, and suddenly you're trapped in an endless hellscape of unskippable advertisements. Want to run npm install ? Sure thing, buddy—just watch these 10 ads first! Need that dependency? Better grab some popcorn because you're about to get the full cinematic experience of car insurance commercials and mobile game ads. The way we're heading with everything becoming ad-supported and monetized, it's only a matter of time before even our beloved package managers start pulling this nonsense. "Your free trial of JavaScript has expired. Please watch this 30-second ad to access semicolons." The exhausted, dead-inside expression? That's not just tiredness—that's the soul-crushing realization that capitalism has finally invaded your terminal window. RIP peaceful coding sessions.

When Someone Shares A Social Media Link

You know that friend who sends you a YouTube link that's basically a novel? Yeah, those URLs with ?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=spring2024&fbclid=IwAR2x... going on for three miles. Every single one of those parameters is tracking where you came from, what you clicked, and probably what you had for breakfast. The privacy-conscious dev in you wants to strip all that surveillance garbage before you click, but then you realize you'd need to explain UTM parameters to your non-tech friends and suddenly you're the paranoid guy at the party. Just smile, nod, and mentally note that Facebook now knows you two are connected. Again. Pro tip: Everything after the ? is usually tracking. You're welcome.

Oh honey, you thought "full-stack" meant knowing React AND Node.js? How adorably 2019 of you! Now it means having three AI assistants open in browser tabs like some kind of digital puppet master. Claude for the elegant code, ChatGPT for when you need something explained like you're five, and Perplexity for... honestly, just vibes at this point. The real tech stack is now: 40% prompting skills, 30% knowing which AI hallucinates less, 20% copy-pasting with confidence, and 10% pretending you totally knew that solution all along during code reviews. Frontend? Backend? Database optimization? Nah bestie, the only stack that matters is your AI subscription stack. Welcome to 2024, where "full-stack developer" just means you're full of tabs running LLMs who actually do the work while you sip coffee and feel like Tony Stark.

Sad Unemployment Tears

Bootcamps out here watching the tech job market burn like a dystopian hellscape while desperately trying to sell their $25k JavaScript courses. Nothing says "great investment" quite like spending the price of a decent used car to learn React hooks while senior devs with 10 years of experience are getting ghosted by recruiters. The timing couldn't be worse—it's like selling swimming lessons on the Titanic. These bootcamps promised you'd be making six figures in 3 months, but forgot to mention that "junior developer" positions now require 5 years of experience, a CS degree, and the ability to single-handedly architect a distributed system. But hey, at least you'll know how to center a div... for only 25 grand.

Thus She Spoke

The pool senpai has dropped the most cursed wisdom known to the dev world. Game development being "just more dynamic frontend engineering" is like saying brain surgery is just advanced haircutting because you work on the head. Sure, both involve rendering pixels on screens, but one's dealing with React state management while the other's optimizing physics engines, managing memory like their life depends on it, and crying over shader compilation errors at 3 AM. Frontend devs push buttons and make divs look pretty. Game devs push polygons and make GPUs scream. Totally the same thing, right? The sheer audacity of this statement is what makes it beautiful. It's technically wrong in every way that matters, yet somehow you can see the twisted logic if you squint hard enough.

The "stack" used to mean React, Node, MongoDB. Now it's three browser tabs of AI chatbots doing all the actual work while you pretend to understand what they just generated. Full-stack developer has been redefined as "full stack of AI assistants open simultaneously." The tech stack is now literally just... tabs. No databases, no frameworks, no architecture decisions—just Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity carrying your entire career on their digital backs. At least you're honest about it.

Year

So everyone's screaming about JavaScript being terrible, but then you look at how developers actually get the current year in production code. Instead of just using new Date().getFullYear() , some genius decided to hardcode "2025" wrapped in a beautiful mess of <footer><small> tags that don't even close properly. The closing </small> is chilling AFTER the text instead of wrapping it correctly. Maybe JavaScript isn't the problem. Maybe it's the developers who refuse to use it correctly. This footer will be hilariously outdated in about 365 days, and some poor soul will have to manually update it while the rest of the internet just... uses a date function like normal people. The real kicker? They're complaining about hardcoded YEARS while literally hardcoding a year. Chef's kiss. 💋👌

When someone asks about your tech stack and you show them a literal stack of chips. The ultimate dad joke for developers who've been in enough architecture meetings to know that sometimes the best stack is the one you can actually eat. No dependencies, no version conflicts, no npm install nightmares—just pure, crispy satisfaction. Though I'll admit, the deployment process does leave your fingers a bit greasy, and the documentation tastes suspiciously like salt and regret.

Shark Still Munching At The Cable

The entire internet is basically a Jenga tower held together by duct tape, prayers, and a few corporations we pretend to trust. At the very bottom, literally underwater, sharks are chomping on submarine cables because apparently even marine life has beef with our infrastructure. What's beautiful here is how the whole stack—from ASML making the chips, through Intel/AMD/Nvidia silicon, up past the Linux Foundation, DNS, AWS, Cloudflare, all the way to that precariously balanced mess of "modern digital infrastructure" with WASM and V8—depends on cables that sharks find delicious. Meanwhile, unpaid open source devs are basically holding the entire thing together with their bare hands while AI and Microsoft do... whatever they're doing up there. Fun fact: Sharks actually DO bite undersea internet cables, likely because the electromagnetic fields mess with their sensory organs. Google had to wrap their cables in Kevlar-like material. So yeah, your 404 error might literally be because a great white got hungry. The internet runs on vibes and shark-resistant coating.

If You Have No Job You Must Suffer

ATS web developers living their BEST LIFE with autocomplete enabled while job seekers are out here manually typing every. single. character. like it's 1995 and we're all using Notepad. The absolute AUDACITY of job posting websites disabling autocomplete! Nothing says "we care about candidate experience" quite like forcing desperate job seekers to retype their email address seventeen times because the form won't remember it. Meanwhile, the devs who built this monstrosity are probably sipping lattes with all their fancy IDE features intact. The class divide has never been more real – it's literally autocomplete="on" vs autocomplete="off" and honestly? That's the cruelest form of gatekeeping imaginable.

Chrome asking which website you'd like to see is like a stalker asking what you want for dinner—they already know, they're just being polite. User thinks incognito mode is some kind of witness protection program, but Chrome's just putting on a trench coat while still taking notes. Spoiler: Google knows. Google always knows. Incognito mode stops your roommate from seeing your search history, not the entire internet infrastructure from logging your every move. It's the digital equivalent of closing your eyes and thinking you're invisible.
