Good Old Low Complexity Days

SWEET MOTHER OF INPUT VALIDATION! The absolute CRIME SCENE that is this phone number field! Some developer had the AUDACITY to create a slider—A SLIDER!!!—for entering a phone number! The poor user is forced to play "Price is Right" with their own contact information, dragging that cursor pixel by excruciating pixel to reach their digits! Whoever designed this UI monstrosity deserves to spend eternity debugging Internet Explorer 6 compatibility issues with nothing but print statements. This is why we can't have nice things in tech! The designer deserves not just firing, but a special circle of developer hell where all form inputs are controlled by interpretive dance!

Let's be honest—we're all just stacking fancy blocks on someone else's foundation and calling ourselves architects. The entire software industry is basically a giant game of intellectual Jenga where we're balancing our mediocre code on top of brilliance we didn't create. That moment when you realize your groundbreaking microservice is just you snapping together NPM packages like a 5-year-old with a Lego set. But hey, at least you wrote the glue code , right? Truly revolutionary stuff.

Nothing like family members who think web development is just dragging a few buttons around for an hour. Dad's out here brokering £500 deals for a "normal screen size" website while his kid is wondering if this requires a full CMS, e-commerce integration, or just 47 revisions of "make the logo bigger." The best part? Dad has absolutely no idea what goes into building a website but is confidently volunteering his child's expertise like it's a quick favor. That £500 will cover about 1/10th of the therapy needed after the client says "I want it to be like Amazon but better."

The great port extinction of our time! This meme perfectly captures the devolution of laptop design from "Swiss Army knife of connectivity" to "hope you enjoy carrying dongles for the rest of your life." Modern laptops went from having every port imaginable to basically two identical USB-C ports that require you to carry an adapter the size of a small country. Minimalism is great until you need to connect literally anything. The bottom MacBook is practically begging "please sir, may I have some more ports?" while the top one is like "we heard you like dongles, so we removed everything else."

Ah yes, the terrifying AI revolution that's going to replace us all... with a locally saved HTML file. Nothing says "cutting-edge web development" quite like sending someone a file path that only works on your machine. The future of tech is clearly C:\Users\ben\Downloads\index.html — accessible to literally no one but Ben. Sleep tight, fellow developers. The robots aren't coming for our jobs until they figure out what a web server is.

The eternal battle between developers and their RAM continues! This error message shows VS Code consuming a whopping 15GB of memory while Firefox has gone completely nuclear at 177GB. What's happening behind the scenes? VS Code is built on Electron, which essentially bundles an entire Chromium browser with your text editor. Each extension adds another layer of JavaScript execution, slowly transforming your lightweight code editor into a RAM-devouring monster. Meanwhile, Firefox has clearly transcended physical limitations by using more RAM than probably exists in the system. The irony is palpable - we're writing code to optimize memory usage while our tools are hoarding it like digital dragons.
