I Agree

The eternal zombie apocalypse that is PHP development. Since 1995, developers have been declaring PHP dead while recommending the hot new framework—ColdFusion, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, Django, NextJS—only for PHP to keep shambling along, refusing to die. By 2025, we'll be celebrating its 30th birthday while still writing those same

The perfect progression of a tech bro's descent into madness! First, they're all chill about making an app. Then they drop the "backend in Rust" bomb like they've discovered fire. But when they reveal their Svelte frontend, you can practically hear the hipster energy intensifying. And the cherry on top? A whopping 69 users (nice) that turns them into a literal demon. Classic case of "I used the trendiest tech stack but forgot about the whole 'solving actual problems' part." Happens to the best of us... or worst of us, depending on your perspective.

Guy claims his AI assistant is writing 500k lines of code in 2 months while he casually rebuilds Shopify from scratch. Sure, and I'm running NASA from my garage with a Raspberry Pi. The only thing more unrealistic than his 5000 daily AI prompts is thinking Claude would struggle with anything. Next up: "My toaster built the next Facebook, but it burns the edges of my bread."

Ah yes, the classic "I can build a website" phase we all went through. This building is literally half-finished—just like any "web application" built with HTML alone. Sure, it has structure, but no functionality whatsoever. It's the coding equivalent of bringing a spoon to a gunfight. The poor thing is just sitting there, static and lifeless, desperately waiting for someone to introduce it to CSS and JavaScript so it can become a real boy. Ten years later, that bootcamp graduate is still wondering why their form doesn't actually submit anything.

The correct answer is right there, but let's be honest - after 15 years of web development, I've spent far more time making love to my keyboard at 2AM trying to center a div than actually writing proper semantic markup. The real HTML experience is less about HyperText and more about hoping that markup language doesn't completely fall apart when you add one more Bootstrap class.

Ah yes, the classic tech job paradox: "Entry-level position: requires decade of experience." This baby's getting a head start on their career by diving into HTML before they can even form sentences. Next week they'll be building responsive websites, and by preschool, they'll be architecting enterprise solutions with 15 years of React experience (despite React only existing for 10). The tech industry's expectations are so reasonable that we're now forcing infants to skip crawling and go straight to coding. Cradle to keyboard pipeline is real.
