The Developer Attention Spectrum

algorithms-memes, data-structures-memes, database-memes, dbms-memes, programming-memes-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The perfect illustration of developer priorities. Spend hours optimizing a binary search tree? Mild interest. Configure a complex database schema? Barely awake. But show us a joke about semicolons or tabs vs. spaces? INSTANT DOPAMINE HIT. We're simple creatures who'd rather scroll through memes than fix that memory leak we've been ignoring for weeks. Self-awareness level: embarrassingly high.

Content I took care of everything: domain registration, DB setup, CMS install, plugins, etc.. Awesom But... 10 000 for 10 minutes are you kidding? Why the hell is it so expensive? All is up and running, it's your turn to play! And it took less than 10 minutes. Very impressive... That, sir, it's because it took me 10 years to be able to do it in 10 minutes! CommitStrip.com

I Am Built Different

Your body is literally optimized for survival, reproduction, and energy conservation. But here you are, a biological marvel powered by mitochondria and ATP, running a JavaScript framework that re-renders the entire DOM every time someone breathes near a state variable. The skeleton knows what's up—it's grinding those bones into dust converting JSX into browser-compatible JavaScript, then watching React's reconciliation algorithm desperately try to figure out which components changed. Your CPU fans are screaming, your RAM is crying, and somewhere deep in your system monitor, a process called "node" is consuming 4GB just to display a button. Meanwhile, your ancestors survived saber-toothed tigers with less computational effort than it takes your laptop to run `npm install`. Evolution really didn't prepare us for the bundle size of modern web development.
