But Performance

Who has time for notes when deadlines are looming? The top panel shows the responsible approach—diligently taking notes while learning programming. Meanwhile, the bottom panel reveals what most of us actually do: frantically writing code and praying to the compiler gods that we'll somehow remember the crucial parts later. It's that special brand of developer optimism where we convince ourselves our future self will magically recall that one crucial function parameter without documentation. Spoiler alert: Future you will absolutely hate past you for this decision.

Spotify's Windows app is like that one friend who promises to be ready in 5 minutes but takes an hour. Built on Electron—a framework that lets devs wrap web apps in a desktop shell—Spotify somehow manages to consume more system resources than Chrome with 50 tabs open. The Windows version gets special mention because it's particularly guilty of turning your 16GB RAM machine into a glorified music player from 2005. Meanwhile, Discord and VS Code (also Electron apps) run smooth as butter. Spotify developers are probably too busy creating those personalized year-end playlists to notice your CPU fan screaming for mercy.

Ah, tech companies and their bizarre hiring criteria! Apparently, the ideal programmer isn't just someone who can write clean code—they need to be the main character of a video game called "Life." While the first two bullet points make perfect sense (community involvement and open-source contributions), the job description quickly derails into "protagonist syndrome." Leadership in sports teams? Globally ranked gamer? Military background? What's next—"must have defeated a final boss" or "survived an apocalypse"? This is basically tech companies admitting they're not hiring programmers—they're casting for the next Marvel movie. Sorry introverts who just want to code in peace, you clearly haven't collected enough side-quest achievements.

Rejecting Webpack's complex configuration hell only to embrace Stack Overflow's copy-paste paradise. Why spend hours configuring module bundlers when you can just "borrow" code from the internet's largest debugging support group? The real 10x developer move is knowing exactly which answers to steal without reading the documentation.

OH MY GOD, the AUDACITY of this login form! 💀 Imagine typing your super-secret password and the system basically screams "HEY EVERYONE, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!" Talk about the world's worst security design! It's like hiring a bodyguard who announces your social security number through a megaphone. The poor developer who created this monstrosity probably also keeps their house key under a doormat labeled "SECRET KEY HERE." I'm having heart palpitations just looking at this security nightmare!

Nothing says "welcome to programming hell" quite like getting a Stack Overflow link from some smug dev who's clearly enjoying your suffering. You're desperate, your code is broken, and this guy sends you to a 2011 thread where the accepted answer uses jQuery 1.4 and mentions Internet Explorer compatibility. The worst part? That sadistic smile when they know full well the solution hasn't worked since Obama's first term. And yet they'll still hit you with "did you try updating your dependencies?" while mentally adding another victim to their collection.
