Ah, the tech stack of modern civilization depicted as a Jenga tower that somehow hasn't collapsed yet. At the bottom, we've got ASML making the chips while C developers write dynamic arrays that would make any memory manager weep. The Linux Foundation holds up the entire internet while DNS occasionally decides whether your websites exist today. AWS and Cloudflare keep the lights on while unpaid open source developers silently prevent digital apocalypse. Meanwhile, AI sits there looking smug while Microsoft does... whatever it is Microsoft does these days. And there you are, somewhere in the middle of this precarious structure, just trying to make a web app that doesn't crash when someone types an emoji.
