Always Think That Your User Is Stupid

user-experience-memes, software-design-memes, debugging-memes, frontend-memes, ui-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The classic developer-user relationship in its natural habitat. The programmer sits there in shock watching the user drink software straight from a cup like it's morning coffee. Meanwhile, the user has no idea why anything's wrong – they're just trying to use the product in ways no sane developer could have anticipated. After 15 years in this industry, I've learned that no matter how idiot-proof you make your interface, the universe just builds a better idiot. The real skill isn't writing code – it's predicting the creative ways users will break it.

The Brutal Truth About Full Stack Developers

THE AUDACITY! Google just casually destroying careers with the most savage definition ever! 💀 "A developer who is neither good at frontend nor backend." I'm clutching my mechanical keyboard in absolute HORROR! Full stack? More like FULL STACK OF MEDIOCRITY! This is basically a personal attack on 90% of LinkedIn profiles right now. Job descriptions be like "must master 47 frameworks" while Google's out here exposing the brutal truth that we're all just impostors juggling technologies and dropping ALL of them. The circle of red highlighting this definition is basically the digital equivalent of my manager's red pen on my code review.
