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

Ah, the nightmare fuel for CSS warriors everywhere! That circular screen is basically saying "I dare you to make your flexbox work on me." Frontend devs already lose sleep over supporting different browsers, but this monstrosity takes "edge cases" to a whole new level. Imagine trying to design responsive layouts when your viewport is literally a circle. Border-radius: 50%? More like border-radius: PAIN%. The dev who commented is having PTSD flashbacks to that time Internet Explorer randomly decided divs were just suggestions.

The modern software development lifecycle: pour some StackOverflow solutions and GitHub snippets into your old project, call it a new web app, and hope nobody notices the coffee stains. Who needs original code when you can just recycle the same 5 functions you've been using since 2015? The "pour and pray" method is basically 90% of web development at this point. Bonus points if you rename a few variables to make it look like you actually wrote something new.

So you're telling me the "human" support agent who swore they weren't a robot just happened to spit out a perfect React component faster than I could open Stack Overflow? Ah yes, nothing says "real person" like instantaneously generating 30 lines of useState hooks and inline styling without a single typo. That's not ChatGPT with a mustache and trenchcoat, definitely not. The most human thing about "Ankur" is probably the 3-second delay they added before responding to seem like they're actually typing.

The JavaScript ecosystem's greatest fear: finding out some random AI model was trained on their npm packages. The title "I Tsc Alled Dis Ti Lla Tion" is a play on "distillation" - the process where AI models learn from other models - but butchered to include "tsc" (TypeScript compiler) and broken into syllables like someone having a panic attack. Nothing sends a JavaScript developer into hysterics faster than discovering their precious code snippets are now being regurgitated by ChatGPT. Meanwhile, the logos for TypeScript, React, and Node.js perfectly represent the frameworks watching their intellectual property get slurped up by the AI void.

OMG, running npm install is like summoning the DEMON LORD OF DEPENDENCIES from the porcelain throne! 🚽👹 One second you're innocently trying to install a tiny package, and the next your toilet is LITERALLY ERUPTING with hellfire and 37,582 packages you never asked for! And there you are, cowering in the corner, questioning your life choices while your node_modules folder grows large enough to achieve sentience and apply for its own zip code! THE HORROR!

The perfect fusion of React hooks and nuclear physics! The top panel shows our cool developer initializing a state with useState(0) - calm, collected, sunglasses on. But the bottom panel reveals what happens next: useEffect incrementing that counter and BOOM - nuclear chain reaction begins! Just like in a reactor, one small state change triggers an endless loop of updates, causing your app to melt down faster than Chernobyl. This is why senior devs sweat profusely when junior devs forget dependency arrays. Pure computational fission!
