The Last COBOL Developer Pic X(30)

Somewhere in Nebraska, a lone COBOL developer is literally holding up the digital world like Atlas himself. While tech bros brag about their microservices architecture, this unsung hero is silently preventing the financial apocalypse with code older than most developers' parents. Banks don't send thank you cards for averting economic collapse every Tuesday at 2 AM when the batch job mysteriously fails. The real infrastructure isn't in the cloud—it's in Nebraska, running on a language that uses "PIC X(30)" to define a string because it was cool in 1959.

Denial: The First Stage Of Debugging

The universal programmer's defense mechanism in its natural habitat. First comes the suggestion that code might be the problem, followed immediately by the instinctive denial that echoes through cubicles worldwide. The irony? It's always a software issue... right after you've spent hours swearing it couldn't possibly be. That moment of realization usually hits around commit #47 when you discover that semicolon you deleted "because it looked funny."

Modern Frontend Stack

Backend developers live in a simpler world. Need to print "Hello World"? That's like 3 lines of code in most languages. But then they peek over at the frontend React ecosystem and witness the horror... To build a basic React app in 2023, you need: Node.js, npm/yarn/pnpm, webpack/vite/parcel, babel, ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript, a state management library, a CSS framework, a component library, testing tools, and probably 5 more dependencies just to display those magical words on screen. The face on the right perfectly captures that moment of existential dread when a backend dev realizes the npm install is still running after 5 minutes just to render two words. Pure frontend chaos.
