Bus Vandal Hates Front End

THE ABSOLUTE HORROR of returning to the prehistoric coding wasteland! After years of being coddled by frameworks with their fancy useEffect, useState, and useWhateverYouWant hooks, you're suddenly thrust back into the Stone Age of web development. It's like being forced to hunt your own food after living at a 5-star resort! Your fingers, once dancing gracefully across custom hooks, now trembling as they type out raw JavaScript like some kind of ANIMAL. The AUDACITY of having to manually manage DOM updates! The INDIGNITY of writing more than three lines of code to handle a simple state change! I'm getting heart palpitations just THINKING about it! 💀

Ah, the sweet smell of revenge coding. This guy's building a music visualizer in raw C with FFT analysis, FFMPEG integration, and custom rendering—just to flex on React developers who'd need 17 npm packages and 3GB of node_modules to draw a circle. The best part? His audio visualizer actually looks pretty damn good. Nothing says "I've seen some things" like writing UI code that's closer to the metal than most devs will ever get. React devs frantically Googling "how to use pointers" as we speak.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these job listings! 💀 Recruiters out here casually asking for someone who can juggle 17 different technologies spanning three programming languages, two frontend frameworks, three databases, four AWS services, Linux admin skills, testing methodologies, containerization, AND orchestration... all while probably offering "competitive salary" (translation: barely above minimum wage). Honey, they're not looking for a "Full Stack Developer" - they're looking for an ENTIRE COMPANY crammed into one exhausted human body! What's next? "Must also make coffee, unclog toilets, and occasionally perform heart surgery"?!

That desperate moment when you've helped your friend build yet another todo list app (because the world definitely needs more of those), and now your entire financial future depends on VCs mistaking it for the next Notion. The prayer hands emoji really sells the desperation – like "please let this basic CRUD app with a gradient button somehow become worth billions before my landlord evicts me." The best part? The unspoken agreement that if it fails, you're both going back to debugging legacy PHP for enterprise.

Frontend devs rejecting Tailwind's utility-first approach only to embrace the chaos of a 10,000-line CSS file that not even its creator understands anymore. Nothing says "I'm a serious developer" like spending three hours hunting down which selector is overriding your button styles. The irony? They'll still complain about "div soup" while their stylesheet resembles the complete works of Shakespeare – if Shakespeare had a nervous breakdown and typed with his elbows.

THE ABSOLUTE CHAOS of JavaScript frameworks! First you're learning Next.js and feeling all smart, then someone mentions Nest.js and your brain short-circuits. "Wait, did I hear that wrong?" NOPE! They're COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! And just when you've sorted those two out—BOOM—Nuxt.js crashes the party! By the fourth panel, your soul has left your body and you're questioning every life decision that led you to web development. The JavaScript ecosystem is basically a cruel practical joke where they just add and remove letters to frameworks to watch developers slowly lose their sanity! 🙃
