Life Could Be A Dream

Writing 10 lines of code without frantically Googling for syntax, Stack Overflow solutions, or that one weird error message is basically the programming equivalent of farming your own food. Sure, it's not glamorous or efficient, but there's a simple dignity to it. Modern developers survive on a steady diet of copy-paste and API documentation. Those rare moments when you actually remember how to initialize an array or write a proper regex without digital assistance? Pure, honest work.

Ah, the classic "I've created a security nightmare but should I mention it?" dilemma. This developer is basically building a financial exploit disguised as a checkout system. By skipping backend price validation, they've created the digital equivalent of a self-checkout where customers can type in whatever price they want. "That Ferrari? Oh, it's $4.99 today." Hackers aren't even needed when the developers themselves are creating the vulnerabilities. The real question isn't "Should I tell them?" but rather "How fast can I update my resume before someone notices?"

The double entendre of CSS flexbox strikes again! This poor soul was bragging about mastering CSS flex properties yesterday, only to wake up today with complete amnesia about how any of it works. The friend's confusion is all of us trying to remember which flex property does what without checking Stack Overflow every 5 minutes. The "what did he flex about?" line is extra hilarious because CSS flexbox knowledge truly is the most fleeting victory in web development—you think you've conquered it, then your brain decides to garbage collect that information overnight.

Ah, the classic bait and switch marketing that's so prevalent in tech. Someone announces "Cursor is now free for students. Enjoy!" and immediately gets parodied with "Sugar is now free for diabetics. Enjoy!" It's that special kind of tech industry dark humor where we've all been burned by the "free" label. This is basically every "free tier" announcement ever made. Sure, we'll give you the exact thing that's completely useless or potentially harmful to your specific situation. Like offering unlimited storage to someone with no internet connection. Thanks for nothing! The real kicker is how many likes and reposts these announcements get. We're all just digital hamsters running on the hype wheel at this point.

Programmers: "Users will definitely understand this intuitive design." Users: *proceeds to transport lumber by wedging it between the truck door and side mirror* And this, friends, is why we have QA departments. No matter how foolproof you think your interface is, someone will find a way to use it in ways that defy the laws of both physics and logic. Just like how no amount of tooltips would prevent this truck owner from inventing a new cargo transport system.

Flash is the tech equivalent of a zombie apocalypse survivor. Adobe officially killed it in 2020, but here it is in 2025, crawling back from the grave with that red logo turned blue like it's wearing a disguise. "I lived, b*tches!" The number of legacy systems still running Flash is the real horror story here. Some ancient enterprise app is probably keeping the entire financial sector hostage with its Flash dependency. The developers who can maintain it are either retired or charging consultant rates that would make a surgeon blush.
