Trying To Learn A Young Language, Using A Tutorial That's More Than A Year Old

The eternal standoff between designers and programmers has entered the AI era. Designers look horrified when programmers use LLMs to generate UIs, while programmers give the same judgmental side-eye when designers use AI to generate code. It's like watching two people who can't swim criticizing each other's diving form. Neither result will compile correctly, but both sides will spend hours explaining why the other's approach is worse.

Frontend developers just collectively shuddered at this monstrosity. That circular screen is basically saying "Have fun making your responsive designs work on THIS, suckers!" It's like someone looked at the rectangular screens we've been optimizing for decades and thought, "You know what would be fun? Geometry warfare!" Imagine the CSS nightmares. Your perfectly crafted grid layout? Dead. Your meticulously positioned elements? Homeless. Your sanity? Gone. The corners don't even exist anymore! Where do notifications go? Into the void, apparently. The person asking for ONE reason not to buy it clearly hasn't spent hours debugging why their div is 1px off. Meanwhile, frontend devs are already updating their resumes with "survived circular viewport trauma" as a skill.

The eternal battle between sensible learning paths and delusional ambition. On one side, we have the experienced developer and redditor suggesting the radical concept of actually learning fundamentals before attempting to build the next tech unicorn. On the other, the starry-eyed novice who watched exactly one React tutorial and is now convinced they're just a weekend away from dethroning Bezos. The audacity of thinking you can build Amazon after a single "Learn React in 1 Hour!" video is the perfect encapsulation of Dunning-Kruger in its purest form. The confidence curve of programming: from "I can build anything!" at minute 61 to "I understand nothing" after 10 years of experience.

Ah, the infamous "leftpad incident" – when the entire JavaScript ecosystem collapsed because someone got mad about a package name. 11 lines of code that could've been written by a junior dev in 5 minutes brought down Facebook, Netflix, and Spotify. Why? Because the modern web is basically a house of cards built on thousands of dependencies that nobody actually reads. This is why I drink. The most powerful companies in the world, with billions in market cap, were paralyzed because they couldn't figure out how to pad a string with spaces without importing a package. NPM: Need Package Madness. Where we'll happily import 700MB of node_modules to avoid writing a for loop.

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?

Ah, the classic "let me put every tech sticker on my laptop" phase that somehow never ends. That sheet is basically a developer's Tinder profile - trying to impress everyone while secretly knowing half those technologies hate each other. VSCode and Rust living peacefully next to PHP and JavaScript is like putting cats and dogs in the same tiny apartment and expecting them to share the remote. That Go mascot at the bottom is just waiting for the chaos to unfold. It's the tech equivalent of wearing both Nike and Adidas to the same gym.
