The three stages of developer enthusiasm. First panel: naive optimism. Second panel: the moment you realize they want you to build a spaceship but won't tell you if it needs to fly or just look pretty. Third panel: pure, unfiltered joy because no requirements means no one can tell you you're doing it wrong. You're not building what they want—you're building what they deserve for not writing a single user story.

The VC hype cycle has officially jumped the shark. After blockchain, metaverse, and AI, we've now reached the point where VCs are literally just throwing money at anything with "vibecoded" in the pitch deck. You know the startup ecosystem has lost its mind when shipping 10+ SaaS products in a weekend using ChatGPT prompts is considered a legitimate business strategy. The real kicker? They're offering 10% equity for a bag of gummy bears and "unsolicited advice" – which is basically every VC meeting ever, except now they're being honest about the value proposition. Pre-revenue preferred because who needs actual customers when you have vibes and AI-generated code? This is what happens when you give people too much money and not enough technical due diligence.

Poor HTML, squeezed between actual programming languages like a cat between loaves of bread! It's the classic "one of these things is not like the others" situation. While Python, Java, C++, PHP, and C# are busy compiling and executing, HTML is just sitting there... marking up text and looking cute. No functions, no loops, no variables—just tags and more tags. It's like bringing a spoon to a knife fight and wondering why everyone's laughing. The cozy smile says it all: blissfully unaware it's not a programming language but still happy to be included in the dev conversation. Bless its heart for trying!

The professor just turned every CS student into a human rendering engine! Instead of asking conceptual questions about web development, this exam literally makes students trace through HTML/CSS code and manually draw what the browser would display—complete with images, colors, and layout. It's like forcing someone to execute a 200-line program with pen and paper when computers were literally invented to do this for us. The ultimate "computers make me obsolete so I'll make you BE the computer" power move. Somewhere, a browser engine developer is crying into their coffee.
