The Sacred PSD Rant

That moment when your backend dev says "I'll handle the UI this time" and suddenly your website looks like India's electrical infrastructure. Backend folks have a special talent for turning 20 lines of CSS into whatever this cable nightmare is. "It works on my machine" they say, while the rest of us need therapy after seeing their div placement. The functionality is there... it's just buried under 500 tangled wires and absolutely zero concern for user experience.

Programmer:

Ah, the duality of developer brain function. When naming regular variables, it's absolute chaos - a street brawl of creativity where we somehow end up with monstrosities like tempVarHolder2Final_REAL . But iteration variables? Suddenly we're sophisticated diplomats at a UN summit, unanimously agreeing that a single letter i is the pinnacle of naming convention. And heaven help the junior dev who tries using index instead. We didn't spend years mastering our craft to type five whole characters.

Oh, the classic "I'll definitely use getters and setters properly this time" delusion! Every developer swears they'll implement proper encapsulation, then 10 years later realizes they've written exactly zero getters that actually do anything besides return value; . We all pretend we're writing enterprise-grade code that might need validation later, but deep down we know we're just adding extra keystrokes to feel professional. The angry face at the end is just perfect - nothing triggers developer rage quite like being confronted with our own coding hypocrisy.
