Let's Go Back To Monke

Ever wondered why your laptop fans sound like they're preparing for liftoff? Look no further than your node_modules folder! While your actual code might be a svelte stormtrooper, those dependencies are an absolute unit that would make the Death Star blush. 500 lines of your code somehow requires 500MB of someone else's code. And heaven forbid you run npm install on a weak WiFi connection – you could literally go make a sandwich, watch a Star Wars trilogy, and come back to find it still downloading the "essential" packages needed to center a div.

Client: "We need a mobile-friendly interface." Developer: "Sure, let me just shrink this nuclear power plant control room to fit on your iPhone." Nothing says responsive design quite like trying to cram 500 critical buttons, 47 status monitors, and enough blinking lights to cause a seizure into a 6-inch screen. I'm sure users will love pinch-zooming to avoid triggering a meltdown!

The infinite nightmare of nested <div> hell! Trying to find an image source in modern web frameworks is like entering a recursive labyrinth where each layer just says "look inside" another <div> . You start with a simple goal, then suddenly you're 17 layers deep questioning your career choices. The cat at the end represents that sweet moment when you finally find the actual <img> tag after traversing the DOM equivalent of Inception. Frontend archaeology at its finest!

Behold, the modern tech tragedy in three acts: Act I: "I'll let GPT-5 refactor our entire codebase!" Act II: *50+ files changed, 10k+ lines updated, beautiful modular code with best practices* Act III: "None of it works." The perfect illustration of AI's current relationship with coding: makes everything look incredible while secretly plotting your application's demise. That beautiful, clean code is like a gorgeous sports car with no engine—pretty to look at but utterly useless for actually getting anywhere. The punchline "But boy it was beautiful to watch" is the developer equivalent of "The surgery was successful, but the patient died." At least we'll have nicely formatted code to stare at while the production server burns!

THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY of web developers passionately debating C++ vs Rust while having ZERO experience with either! 😱 It's like watching someone argue about the best way to perform brain surgery after watching a 5-minute YouTube tutorial. "Well ACTUALLY, Rust's memory safety is superior" says the person whose entire coding experience is copying jQuery snippets from Stack Overflow. The philosophical debate rages on while their actual React app is still using 47 dependencies to center a div. Pure. Comedic. GENIUS.

College professors living in 2010. Rejecting modern frameworks and buzzwords with a dismissive hand, but absolutely glowing at the prospect of making students implement bubble sort for the 47th time. Nothing says "preparing you for the industry" like coding algorithms nobody's written from scratch since the Bush administration.
