Stop The Slop

medium-memes, paywalls-memes, content-memes, ai-memes, tech-articles-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Ah, the classic Medium experience. Shows up all excited with pizza (free articles), only to discover the place is literally on fire with paywalled content, AI garbage, and people yelling at each other about tech stacks. Yet we keep coming back like digital masochists. The "Stop using X" articles are particularly chef's-kiss terrible—written by someone who used the technology for exactly 37 minutes before declaring it "fundamentally broken."

When I Was 11 Years Old, I Didn't Know About Arrays And Objects In JavaScript, But Really Wanted To Make A Game. So I Invented My Own Data Structures!

Behold, the cursed art of using eval() to concatenate strings as variable names, creating what is essentially the world's most horrifying key-value store. Instead of using blocks[blockId].x like a normal human being, this 11-year-old genius decided to dynamically construct variable names like "lev" + level + "block" + blockId + "x" and eval them into existence. It's like watching someone reinvent the wheel, except the wheel is square, on fire, and somehow still rolling. The sheer determination to check collision boundaries and directions by string-concatenating variable names together is both terrifying and oddly impressive. Every senior dev who sees this code feels a strange mix of horror and nostalgia, because let's be real—we've all written something equally cursed when we were young and didn't know better. The difference is most of us burned the evidence.

Feature Not Found: 404 Developer Happiness

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute BETRAYAL! GitHub, our beloved code sanctuary, is apparently ditching actual features we've been BEGGING for to play corporate musical chairs with Azure! 💀 That adorable Octocat figurine is just sitting there with its innocent smile while Microsoft execs are probably cackling in the background. "You want dark mode improvements? Sorry sweetie, we're too busy moving servers!" Meanwhile developers worldwide are collectively screaming into their mechanical keyboards. The corporate overlords have spoken - infrastructure migration trumps your pathetic feature requests! The comment at the bottom is just *chef's kiss* - even Microsoft's own acquisitions can't escape the Azure migration nightmare!
