Folding Phones: The Web Developer's New Nightmare

The ABSOLUTE BETRAYAL of JavaScript's type coercion in its full, horrifying glory! 😱 First panel: Blue stick figure PROUDLY declares JavaScript as their favorite language while White stick figure watches in silent judgment. Second panel: The SHOCKING truth is revealed! JavaScript's string concatenation turns "11" + 1 into "111" (because OBVIOUSLY adding a number to a string makes a longer string 🙄), but "11" - 1 becomes 10 (because subtraction magically transforms strings into numbers). White stick figure is DEVASTATED. Blue stick figure is MORTIFIED. And that little dinosaur in the corner? He's just living his best life, completely unbothered by our existential programming crisis. The AUDACITY!

The ultimate flex: writing an audio visualizer in pure C just to make React developers question their life choices. This brave soul is manually handling FFT analysis, FFMPEG integration, and rendering wave forms without a single npm package in sight. It's like bringing a battle axe to a nerf gun fight—unnecessarily brutal but deeply satisfying. The sheer spite-driven development energy here is what powers senior devs through their darkest hours.

Hahaha! The AI overlord has spoken! 🤖 A binary being holding up a "no HTML tags" sign while literally being made of code is peak irony! It's like your coffee machine telling you caffeine is bad while brewing your fifth espresso. The caption "Coding is Dead, Long Live Programming!" is that classic contradiction we all live with - renaming our job titles every few years while doing the exact same thing. Syntax changes, frustration remains! The binary person is basically all of us pretending we understand what our code is doing while it silently judges our life choices. 💻✨

The bathroom standoff of programming languages continues into 2025. While other devs avoid the PHP programmer at the urinals like he's carrying a digital plague, the PHP dev is still clinging to relevance with that desperate "78% of the Internet" statistic. It's the coding equivalent of that guy who peaked in high school and won't stop talking about that one touchdown. Sure, WordPress powers a chunk of the web, but so did Internet Explorer once upon a time. Doesn't mean it wasn't a dumpster fire with legacy support.

The corporate world wants us to believe JSON and NoSQL databases are different technologies, but developers know better. It's like asking what's the difference between a filing cabinet and... a filing cabinet. Both store unstructured data in key-value pairs, both make schema changes trivial, and both make database purists cry themselves to sleep at night. MongoDB is basically just JSON with extra steps and a marketing team. Next they'll tell us arrays and lists are completely different concepts!

Oh, the sweet innocence of "I made a website with ChatGPT" followed by sending a local file path instead of a URL. That's like telling someone you're a chef because you microwaved a Hot Pocket. What we're witnessing here is the beautiful collision of Dunning-Kruger effect and file system confusion. Our friend thinks they've launched the next Facebook when they've really just saved an HTML file to their downloads folder. No server, no hosting, just pure unbridled confidence. The Windows file path is just *chef's kiss* perfect - nothing says "I'm a web developer" like trying to share C:\Users\ben\Downloads\index.html through iMessage.
