The Eternal Procrastination Cycle

Content SHOP FOR A NEW TIE. Don't think about eventual IE integration. MAKE MACARONI DO CARDIO. Don't think about it! VACUUM THE RUG.

The ultimate advice that no programmer can follow. Using "computer" as a verb is the most chaotic energy possible—like telling a fish not to swim. The sign shows a power outlet with a stern warning to simply "Don't computer," which is basically like telling a developer to stop breathing. Next they'll be posting "Error: Success" messages and expecting us not to have an existential crisis.

The eternal JavaScript developer dilemma: "Need to turn a screw? Just import a screwdriver library!" *2 seconds later* "Great, now my project depends on 17,482 packages including three different implementations of left-pad, a Bitcoin miner, and something suspiciously called 'definitely-not-keylogger'." The node_modules folder - where simple tasks require importing the entire supply chain of the global hardware industry, complete with factories you didn't know existed and dependencies that will break in mysterious ways during your demo.

When you spend 3 hours fighting with display: flex and justify-content: center to center a div, you absolutely deserve a trophy. The self-awarded "World's Best CSS Developer" award is the programmer equivalent of giving yourself a participation trophy after debugging why your navbar won't align properly for the 47th time. CSS: the only language where you can be simultaneously a genius and completely clueless. One moment you're crafting beautiful responsive layouts, the next you're Googling "how to center a div" for the millionth time like it's your first day on the job. The fact that someone actually 3D printed this trophy suggests they either have incredible self-awareness or they've finally snapped after one too many z-index battles. Props for the commitment though—most of us just settle for the imposter syndrome and call it a day.

Get an old pc with a CD drive, and every time it loses connection to the server it ejects the CD tray, which has a poking stick attached, which hits the reset button. The line between genius and insanity was definitely blurry there. Reply 7 more replies 137 S Add a comment
