Dreams vs. Reality: The Developer's Journey

Oh SWEETIE, look at you! Started your dev journey with GRAND VISIONS of changing the world with revolutionary open-source projects that would make humanity WEEP with gratitude! Fast forward to reality: you're crying into your keyboard at 3AM trying to center a div or debugging why your function returns undefined for the 47th time today. Your GitHub is a GRAVEYARD of half-finished projects with names like "cool-app-v2-FINAL-ACTUALLY-FINAL" while you spend your days making enterprise software that tracks how many bathroom breaks employees take. The AUDACITY of our younger selves to have dreams! 😭

When One Skill Means You Can Do Everything

That moment when management discovers you know one web technology and suddenly you're responsible for the entire internet.

Classic scope creep in its natural habitat.

Date Picker From The Ninth Circle Of UI Hell

Oh god, some frontend developer just had a stroke and created this monstrosity! Instead of a simple dropdown, they've split month names into three columns of syllables you have to piece together like a deranged puzzle. Want to select March? That's "m" + "a" + "rch". September? "sept" + "em" + "ber". And don't get me started on that default date - January 0, 1900. Perfect for when you need to book a time machine to visit the epoch time's slightly older brother. This is what happens when you ask for "innovative UI design" in a sprint planning meeting and someone takes it way too literally.
