Nuclear Chain React

What fresh hell is this? Someone decided to nest animations within animations, with timing functions that depend on each other, and then threw in boolean flags named "finished" and "finishedInside" because apparently we're writing code that doubles as an adult film script. This is the kind of animation code that makes you wake up at 3 AM six months later when the client reports that "sometimes the button jiggles wrong on Samsung devices but only on Tuesdays." The triple equality check is the cherry on top. Like, yes, let's make absolutely sure we're comparing the exact same type while the rest of this code is playing 4D chess with timing functions.

The eternal delusions of every developer who thinks they're the next Zuckerberg. We've all been there – fueled by energy drinks and hubris, building that revolutionary app that's basically just a todo list with extra steps. The "I'll sleep when it's launched" guy hasn't seen his bed since Obama was president, while Mr. "Cutting-edge Stack" is just throwing every framework he read about on Hacker News into a tech soup that would make even the most patient senior dev quit on the spot. And my personal favorite – the "just one more feature" syndrome. That's how your simple weather app somehow ends up with a built-in cryptocurrency, social network, and dating platform. Meanwhile, your GitHub is a graveyard of half-finished repos that haven't been touched since 2018.

Looks like someone found the perfect place to express their framework frustrations! Some disgruntled developer decided public transportation was the ideal canvas to air their grievances about React. That moment when your component won't rerender properly, and suddenly vandalizing a bus seat seems like a perfectly reasonable response. The backend devs are probably sitting somewhere nodding in silent approval while muttering "just use vanilla JavaScript" under their breath. Honestly, who needs therapy when you can just write passive-aggressive graffiti about JavaScript libraries on public property?

Backend developers live in a simpler world. Need to print "Hello World"? That's like 3 lines of code in most languages. But then they peek over at the frontend React ecosystem and witness the horror... To build a basic React app in 2023, you need: Node.js, npm/yarn/pnpm, webpack/vite/parcel, babel, ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript, a state management library, a CSS framework, a component library, testing tools, and probably 5 more dependencies just to display those magical words on screen. The face on the right perfectly captures that moment of existential dread when a backend dev realizes the npm install is still running after 5 minutes just to render two words. Pure frontend chaos.

The smugness is palpable! Flynn Rider here represents the web dev who's convinced native apps are dinosaurs heading for extinction. Meanwhile, native devs are quietly enjoying their superior performance, offline capabilities, and battery efficiency while the web stack changes completely every six months. Sure, web tech is "everywhere" - just like that restaurant with 2-star reviews. It's there, but do you really want it? The irony is that this meme was probably viewed on a native app because the web version crashed.

Behold! The MOST REALISTIC tech success story you'll ever see! 🙄 Just learn JavaScript, and BOOM—instant millionaire by 17! Swimming pools! Mansions! All from a $20 book and some if-else statements! Meanwhile, the rest of us are debugging the same error for 6 hours straight and celebrating when our CSS centers a div correctly. The audacity of these LinkedIn fairy tales is the true masterpiece of fiction—more creative than any code I've ever written! Next week: "How I became a trillionaire by copying Stack Overflow answers!"
