Make Webdev Great Again

When you've spent 6 hours trying to center a div with CSS and finally get it right, you deserve a smoke break. That tiny seedling represents the one functional component in your otherwise barren project. The cigarette is what's left of your sanity after fighting with flexbox all day.

THE AUDACITY! JavaScript haters have been screaming about its demise for DECADES, and yet here we are, still using it to power 99.9% of the web! The meme absolutely DESTROYS the haters with that savage comeback - "If there were a better substitute, a single language would have been sufficient." BURN! 🔥 Meanwhile, JavaScript is just standing there, arms crossed, absolutely UNBOTHERED while frameworks come and go like seasonal fashion trends. TypeScript, Node.js, React, Vue - they're all just JavaScript wearing different outfits! The language everyone loves to hate but CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT!

Oh god, some frontend developer just had a stroke and created this monstrosity! Instead of a simple dropdown, they've split month names into three columns of syllables you have to piece together like a deranged puzzle. Want to select March? That's "m" + "a" + "rch". September? "sept" + "em" + "ber". And don't get me started on that default date - January 0, 1900. Perfect for when you need to book a time machine to visit the epoch time's slightly older brother. This is what happens when you ask for "innovative UI design" in a sprint planning meeting and someone takes it way too literally.

Nothing says "production ready" like a command line interface on a smartwatch. This is what happens when management doesn't understand that "backend complete" doesn't mean "ready to ship." Sure, the data's there, but good luck explaining to users why they need to type commands on their wrist to check the time. That heart rate of 73 bpm is suspiciously low for someone who just got told to ship this monstrosity. Ten bucks says the dev's resume was updated before that watch finished booting.

Ah, the classic "fix everything with CSS z-index: 9999" approach. When that UI element just won't stay on top, crank that z-index to astronomical levels instead of fixing the actual stacking context. It's like using duct tape to patch the Titanic. Sure, it works... until someone else adds their element with z-index: 10000 and the arms race begins. The true mark of a desperate frontend dev on a Friday at 4:55 PM.

The dictionary definition we all secretly wish was printed in Webster's. After 15 years in the trenches, I can confirm this is exactly what happens in every client meeting: Client: "We need a simple website." Me: *builds website* Client: "Why can't it also predict stock market trends and make coffee?" The "wizard/magician" reference is spot on. I've literally been asked if I can "just hack" into systems before. No Karen, that's called a felony, not a feature request.
