Chrome's Worthy Opponent Has Entered The Chat

Oh my gosh, the infinite loop of code theft! 😂 First StackOverflow gives ChatGPT all its knowledge, then ChatGPT claims it made it. Then a programmer steals from ChatGPT and proudly declares "I made this!" Only for the code to eventually make its way back to StackOverflow! It's the perfect representation of the modern dev cycle: copy from StackOverflow → paste into ChatGPT → ask for improvements → copy to your project → claim full credit in your performance review! The circle of code life!

The eternal web dev holy war, SpongeBob style! Patrick innocently asks if CSS is a programming language, only to be shut down by Squidward's technical pedantry that "it's a style sheet language." But Patrick, undeterred by such trivial distinctions, immediately follows up with "Isn't SQL a programming language?" — perfectly capturing how these debates never end. The real joke? The people who get most worked up about these classifications are usually the same ones who can't center a div without StackOverflow. Next up on Patrick's list: "Is HTML a programming language?" *Squidward has left the chat*

That crushing moment when you've spent 3 months building your revolutionary microservice architecture with cutting-edge tech stack, only for your friend to glance at it and say "cool" before asking if you've seen the latest Netflix show. The emotional damage is immeasurable. Your creation—your child —dismissed with the same enthusiasm people reserve for mediocre sandwich choices. Next time I'll just say I've been "watching TV" instead of "rewriting my entire app in Rust because JavaScript hurt my feelings."

The classic non-technical founder to developer relationship in its purest form. "Hey, I've got this revolutionary social media concept that'll be the next Facebook-Twitter-Instagram hybrid! Just need someone to build it. I'll give you 5% equity!" Translation: you do 100% of the work while I practice my TED talk about being a visionary entrepreneur. The purple lighting really captures the delusional optimism of someone who thinks ideas alone are worth 95% of a company that doesn't exist yet.

The JavaScript pushState() function has an unused parameter that literally does nothing but can't be removed because... backward compatibility! 🤦‍♂️ It's like that one useless function parameter that's been in your codebase for 5 years and everyone's too scared to remove it because "something might break." The documentation even admits it with a straight face: "This parameter exists for historical reasons, and cannot be omitted." The red scribbles perfectly capture every developer's reaction: "??? WTF" - which is basically the official technical term for legacy code maintenance.

Rejecting frontend work? Reasonable. Avoiding backend tasks? Understandable. But the weekend? That's the sacred runtime environment where all my personal processes finally execute without interruption. No standup meetings, no Jira tickets, just me and my neglected side projects that will definitely get finished this time. Definitely.
