The secret ingredient to becoming an AI startup? Just rename your loading spinners! This dev brilliantly exposed the modern tech hype cycle by showing how a simple text change from "loading..." to "thinking..." instantly transforms your regular app into an "agentic AI startup." No actual AI required—just the perception of intelligence. It's the equivalent of putting racing stripes on a Honda Civic and calling it a supercar. Venture capitalists, please form an orderly queue with your checkbooks ready.

When you've been coding in dark mode for 8 straight hours and some website designer thinks #FFFFFF is an acceptable background color. My retinas are literally burning through these protective goggles. Pro tip: filter: invert(1) in your browser's dev tools is basically emergency eye surgery for these situations.

This conversation is what happens when you skip the "boring" security lectures in CS class. Our green-text hero thinks decrypting password hashes is just another Tuesday feature request, while orange-text is having an existential crisis trying to explain one-way functions. The best part? Five years of development experience and still wondering why we can't just hand out passwords like candy. That final "I can look it up anytime" after completely misunderstanding basic cryptography is peak developer confidence without competence. This is why your bank account gets hacked, folks. Because somewhere out there, a dev is thinking "who cares if you have the decryption algorithm" while building your financial app. Bruh indeed.

The eternal NIGHTMARE that is Java version support! These time travelers discover they've landed in the bizarre twilight zone where Java 8 (released in 2014!) is somehow STILL supported despite being practically ANCIENT in tech years! 💀 It's like finding out your grandpa's flip phone will be supported until the heat death of the universe while your 2-year-old smartphone is already "legacy hardware." The Java ecosystem is that friend who refuses to throw away their collection of VHS tapes "just in case they come back in style."
