How Your Webdev Boyfriend Makes Money

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!

Looks like someone found the perfect place to express their framework frustrations! Some disgruntled developer decided public transportation was the ideal canvas to air their grievances about React. That moment when your component won't rerender properly, and suddenly vandalizing a bus seat seems like a perfectly reasonable response. The backend devs are probably sitting somewhere nodding in silent approval while muttering "just use vanilla JavaScript" under their breath. Honestly, who needs therapy when you can just write passive-aggressive graffiti about JavaScript libraries on public property?

The dev job market in four emotional stages: 1. Mild confidence : "I know 6 languages? That's decent, right?" 2. Excited overconfidence : "30 GitHub projects?! I'm basically a 10x developer at this point!" 3. Nuclear meltdown mode : *Frantically scrolling LinkedIn* "Wait, they want 12 years experience in a 5-year-old framework?!" 4. Existential despair : *Staring into the void* "10,000 applicants... one position... my resume is probably being used as digital scratch paper." The tech hiring funnel: where your impostor syndrome gets validated by actual numbers.

Someone tried to create a radio button UI in real life but completely missed the point. Radio buttons are supposed to be mutually exclusive—you can only select one option. But they forgot to actually implement the selection functionality! It's like shipping code without the onClick handler. This is what happens when product managers say "make it look exactly like the mockup" without understanding the underlying functionality.

Ah, the browser engine family portrait! Two fierce, intimidating dragons (Chromium and Gecko) looking ready to burn your CPU to ashes, and then there's Apple's WebKit... the derpy cousin with its tongue hanging out who still can't figure out how to implement basic web standards from 2015. Frontend developers have nightmares about Safari the same way they used to about IE. "But it works in EVERY browser!" *tests in Safari* "...except that one." Nothing says "I hate web developers" quite like forcing your proprietary browser engine on the entire iOS ecosystem while it struggles with features Chrome and Firefox implemented during the Obama administration. The circle of life: Internet Explorer dies, Safari steps up to become the new browser that makes developers question their career choices.

That moment when your password requirements get so ridiculous you start screaming at your monitor. "8+ characters, uppercase, lowercase, number, special character, AND NOW AN EMOJI?!" Meanwhile your brain is just like "🙂🔫123AAAA!" because you've run out of creative password ideas. Next they'll want your blood type and a lock of hair from your firstborn.
