I Was There, Son. I Was There.

OMG, the absolute STATE of web development in 2023! 💀 JavaScript has literally CONQUERED THE ENTIRE STACK like some power-hungry dictator! Front-end? JavaScript. Back-end? ALSO JavaScript. Database? You'd think we'd draw the line somewhere, but NOPE - straight to JavaScript with MongoDB and its JSON documents! It's like watching JavaScript stage a hostile takeover while other languages stand by helplessly. The web development world has fallen, and JavaScript is wearing all the medals now! Next thing you know, your toaster will be running Node.js! THE HORROR!

It's that special kind of self-deprecating joy when you're scrolling through programming memes and suddenly recognize your daily trauma packaged as entertainment. Nothing quite like sipping coffee while nodding at a joke about the exact bug that made you question your career choices yesterday. The digital equivalent of "I'm in this photo and I don't like it" – except we absolutely love it. Our suffering, now in meme format, available for internet points!

STOP EVERYTHING! The sacred texts have been revealed! 😱 Just buy an O'Reilly book called "Vibe Coding" and BOOM—instant developer transformation! No need for those pesky years of learning, debugging at 2AM, or crying over semicolons. Just own this magical tome with its wide-eyed cartoon character (who clearly hasn't experienced their first production bug yet), and you too can declare "I'm a Developer Now" with the confidence of someone who thinks HTML is a programming language! The audacity! The delusion! The absolute FANTASY of it all! *dramatically faints onto keyboard*

THE BETRAYAL! The programming world depicted as an Among Us game where HTML5 is DRAMATICALLY revealed as the impostor because it's not ACTUALLY a programming language! The absolute SCANDAL of it all! HTML strutting around in its markup language disguise, pretending to be part of the cool programming gang with CSS, JavaScript, PHP and others. The AUDACITY! Meanwhile, real programming languages are looking at HTML like "Honey, you're just formatting text and we all know it." The ultimate tech world gatekeeping moment that has divided friendships and started keyboard wars since the dawn of web development!

Oh look, it's the classic VS Code experience - where your brain flips upside down trying to figure out what you're actually doing! The text being upside down is basically what happens to your mental state after staring at those fancy IntelliSense suggestions for 8 hours straight. Your code starts making sense, then suddenly you're writing gibberish that somehow still compiles. Marked as duplicate, closed by moderator.

The brutal truth about the self-taught programmer journey hits harder than a null pointer exception! This dev's thumbnail appears to be giving the most nihilistic career advice ever, with that classic truncated text making it look like he's telling self-taught programmers to just end it all. In reality, it's probably clickbait for a video about programming struggles or tips. Every self-taught dev has that 3 AM moment staring at broken code thinking "maybe I should've just become a farmer instead." The beanie and disappointed expression perfectly capture that "I've been debugging this for 6 hours and the error was a missing semicolon" energy.
