I Was There, Son. I Was There.

You spend weeks crafting a beautiful UI with separate food bowls, carefully positioned for optimal feeding efficiency. Then your users show up and completely ignore your meticulously designed architecture, sprawling across the entire interface like they're at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Eight years in frontend development and I've learned one truth: no matter how intuitive you think your design is, users will find a way to use it wrong. It's not a bug, it's a feature of human nature.

Who needs user feedback when you've got noise-canceling headphones and pure intuition? Nothing says "I know exactly what businesses want" like building an entire B2B SaaS product in complete isolation from the people who'll actually use it. Just vibe with your keyboard, manifest those features, and ignore that pesky "market research" nonsense. The product team's gonna be thrilled when they discover you've built the perfect solution to problems that don't exist. Pro tip: For extra efficiency, don't even talk to your colleagues either. Pure genius flows best in an echo chamber of one.

Who needs a $100k computer science degree when Stack Overflow exists? While lawyers and doctors spend years in prestigious institutions learning their craft, developers just frantically Google error messages at 3 AM and somehow ship working code. The best part? We're getting paid roughly the same salary to essentially be professional Googlers with impostor syndrome. My diploma is just a curated collection of search queries that accidentally resulted in functional code.

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.

The MGM lion is the perfect mascot for web development. On the frontend, you've got this majestic, polished beast roaring confidently at users. Flip to the backend and it's just some poor exhausted dev sprawled across a table with their code running upside down and backwards. The backend is where dreams and clean architecture go to die, but hey—at least the users get to see a pretty lion! Ten years in the industry and I still can't tell if I'm the lion or the guy face-planted on the keyboard. Probably depends on the sprint.

Ah, the eternal tech love triangle. Frontend developers get all the glory, passionately embracing users with their shiny buttons and smooth animations. Meanwhile, backend developers (portrayed as Wolverine) just stand there stoically, watching from afar while keeping the entire system from imploding. The backend dev is the unsung hero who makes everything actually work while the frontend dev gets all the compliments for making things pretty . "Your website looks amazing!" Nobody ever says "Wow, your database queries are so efficient!" And yet, without the backend, that romantic frontend-user relationship would crash and burn faster than a JavaScript framework after npm update.
