I Fear No Man... Except CORS Error

The JavaScript framework naming convention has officially reached peak confusion. First you're excited about Next.js, thinking you're cutting edge. Then suddenly everyone's talking about Nest.js and you have to pretend you knew the difference all along. By the time you figure that out, Nuxt.js appears and you're completely lost... wait, is it pronounced "nuxt" or "nuked"? And just when you thought you understood, you realize there's ANOTHER framework with practically the same name. At this point, I'm convinced framework creators are just hitting random keys near 'n' on the keyboard and adding ".js" to whatever comes out.

The eternal bait-and-switch of programming life. You start a project thinking "I'll just use this simple framework" or "This should only take an afternoon," and suddenly it's 3 weeks later and you're deep in Stack Overflow threads from 2013 trying to figure out why your perfectly reasonable code is being interpreted as an arcane summoning ritual. The optimism-to-despair pipeline is the most reliable infrastructure in tech.

The eternal truth of programming careers summed up in one Rick and Morty frame. That panicked, wide-eyed expression perfectly captures the moment someone asks about your code and you realize your entire career is just frantically Googling error messages and Stack Overflow solutions. The secret sauce of professional development isn't some profound understanding—it's knowing exactly what to search for when everything breaks. Your $120K salary? Basically payment for advanced Google-fu skills.

First frame: "Don't shoot! I am JS Developer" with hands up desperately trying to save himself. Second frame: "Explain promises" Third frame: "Shoot" The eternal struggle of JavaScript developers when cornered about explaining async concepts. Sure, they can write promises all day long, but ask them to actually explain how the hell that callback-escaping magic works under the hood, and suddenly taking a bullet seems like the easier option. The callback hell they were trying to escape just became an interrogation hell instead.

The eternal cycle of developer enthusiasm. Top frame: joyfully playing with the shiny new project while completely ignoring last week's project drowning right next to you. Bottom frame: your GitHub graveyard—a haunting underwater boneyard of abandoned repositories that will never see a commit again. The real horror isn't the code quality; it's the commitment issues.

Remember when you spent five years of your life trying to center a div with floats, margins, and absolute positioning hacks? Then one day you discover flexbox and those three magical lines of CSS that do it perfectly. Your entire frontend career flashes before your eyes—all those wasted hours, the stackoverflow rabbit holes, the broken layouts in IE. The sheer simplicity is both enlightening and traumatizing. It's like finding out you've been cutting your lawn with scissors when someone hands you a lawnmower.
