Firefox For The Win!

OMG, the ULTIMATE browser betrayal!!! 😱 Chrome went from being the hot new alternative that made us all turn our heads away from Firefox, to becoming the very monster we once fled from! The irony is so thick you could debug it with a breakpoint. Firefox got a glow-up while Chrome just got... more Google-y. It's the tech equivalent of the nerdy kid becoming prom king while the popular jock peaked in high school. The browser tables have COMPLETELY TURNED and I am LIVING for this drama! History really does repeat itself in the most savage way possible.

The secret sauce of senior developers isn't magical knowledge—it's knowing exactly what to Google. That "10 years of experience" on my resume? That's just 10 years of increasingly sophisticated search queries. The beautiful irony is that while junior devs feel ashamed about searching for basics, the rest of us are frantically Googling "how to center div" for the 500th time. The difference? We've just gotten better at hiding our browser tabs during meetings.

The eternal corporate handshake that pays everyone's bills. Manager and client congratulate each other on a "successful project" while completely ignoring the sleep-deprived developer who actually built the damn thing. Twenty years in the industry and I've watched this scene play out at every project celebration. The programmer gets a pizza party while management gets the bonus. Tale as old as Git.

Google removed JPEG-XL support from Chrome faster than you can say "deprecated," claiming nobody used it. But here's the kicker: nobody used it because they removed the support . Classic chicken-and-egg problem, except the chicken is Google and the egg is every web developer who now has to maintain it anyway because users won't stop uploading JPEG-XL files. It's like watching someone complain about having to cook dinner while actively throwing away all the kitchen appliances. Google's standing there with their arms crossed, annoyed that developers keep requesting support for a format that's objectively better (smaller files, better quality, actual transparency), but they killed it themselves. The audacity is chef's kiss level. Welcome to web development, where the standards are made up and browser support doesn't matter until it suddenly does.

Ah, "Vibe Coding" – where the only requirement is vibes and absolutely zero coding knowledge. Started as industry satire, now it's an actual 4-week course with a fancy instructor in a green suit promising to make you feel good about not understanding a single line of code. This is like offering "Vibe Surgery" where you just hold a scalpel and manifest healing energy. Next up: "Vibe Engineering" – build bridges with positive affirmations and Instagram filters. The tech industry has officially completed its transformation from "we need skilled engineers" to "just bring your authentic self and we'll figure out how to deploy that to production."

Oh. My. GOD! The absolute AUDACITY of reality! 😤 Social media: "Look at my MAGNIFICENT AI creation that practically wrote Shakespeare while cooking dinner!" *shows ethereal being sipping champagne* Meanwhile, the rest of us mere mortals are in the trenches with our AI like some deranged goblin creature, frantically typing "uhh maybe restart VS Code idk" while our dreams of technological transcendence CRUMBLE before our eyes! 💀 The expectation vs. reality gap isn't just wide—it's a GRAND CANYON of disappointment that's personally attacking me right now!
