Am I The Only One Tired Of Chatbots?

The eternal lie every "full stack" developer tells themselves before crashing into CSS reality. Sure, you can write beautiful backend architecture that scales to infinity, but ask them to center a div and suddenly they're googling the same Stack Overflow answer for the 47th time. The smile-to-panic pipeline is approximately 0.2 seconds when someone mentions "responsive design" or "cross-browser compatibility." Backend devs masquerading as full stack is the tech industry's greatest magic trick.

When a site tells you "your new password can't be the same as your old password," they're supposed to be comparing hashed values, not storing your actual password in plaintext. If they know what your old password was , they've already failed Security 101. The fact that a Fortune 500 company did this is like finding out your bank keeps everyone's money in a shoebox under the receptionist's desk. Ten years in tech and I'm still amazed at how many multi-billion dollar companies can't figure out basic password security.

When your code finally runs after 48 hours of debugging, but you've lost all will to live in the process. That "Myself" button is looking mighty tempting after staring at a missing semicolon for two days straight. The irony of requesting your own death certificate online is the perfect metaphor for what happens when you deploy to production on a Friday afternoon. At least the UI is straightforward—unlike that legacy codebase you inherited.

The holy war of tech pronunciation strikes again! Some poor junior dev somewhere is getting absolutely destroyed in code review for saying "hittamul" instead of "H-T-M-L." It's like the programming equivalent of saying "jif" instead of "gif" – instant credibility assassination. The senior devs probably have a Slack channel dedicated to mockery where they're like "Did you hear the new hire? Asked how to center a div in hittamul !" 💀

Oh. My. GOD! The absolute AUDACITY of asking if Java and JavaScript are friends! 💅 These two languages share a name like estranged siblings forced to attend the same family reunion. Despite what clueless recruiters think, they have about as much in common as a penguin and a palm tree! JavaScript is all "I run in browsers and do whatever I want" while Java stands there with its strict typing and compilation, HORRIFIED at JavaScript's chaotic lifestyle choices. Their relationship status? It's not just complicated—it's downright HOSTILE. The Star Trek uniform aesthetic just makes this family feud even more deliciously dramatic!

MongoDB's marketing team really nailed their priorities here. Forget trivial things like your compensation, burnout, or work-life balance - the only legacy that matters is knowing their database is "web scale." For the uninitiated, "web scale" became a tech buzzword after a famous parody video where a MongoDB enthusiast repeatedly screams "it's web scale!" while a MySQL user questions what that actually means. The phrase became shorthand for "sounds impressive but possibly meaningless tech jargon." Nothing says "I've made it in tech" quite like remembering marketing slogans instead of your actual life experiences. Your therapist would have a field day with this one.
