Career Advice: The Art Of Strategic Persistence

Survivorship bias: the tech industry's secret promotion strategy! Why master complex algorithms when you can master the art of not updating your LinkedIn? Just hunker down while your colleagues chase shiny new startups, and voilà – you're suddenly the oracle of legacy code and where all the bodies are buried in the codebase. The real senior developer skill isn't solving problems, it's remembering why that mysterious function from 2016 can't be deleted without bringing down the entire system. Institutional knowledge through sheer stubbornness – nature's way of turning mediocrity into seniority!

Why I Love Programming

The idealism vs reality gap strikes again. Senior dev up there talking about "building apps, teamwork, and discovering new things" while the rest of us are just thinking "will this job pay my AWS bill?" Ten years in and I've learned there are two types of developers: those who genuinely believe in the craft and those who realized a CS degree was their ticket to affording groceries without checking prices. The duality of our industry in one perfect frame.

Give Me JPG Or Give Me Death!

The revolutionary war for image formats rages on! Front-end developers and designers everywhere are channeling their inner Patrick Henry with this passionate declaration against WebP. Google's "superior" image format might offer better compression, but at what cost? File compatibility issues, inconsistent browser support, and that moment when you need to quickly edit an image but your design software chokes on the format. The JPG loyalists stand firm—they'd rather sacrifice a few kilobytes than surrender their workflow sanity. Sure, WebP might be 26% smaller, but so is my patience when trying to work with these files.
