Make Webdev Great Again

Remember when we argued about text editors like they were sports teams? Now we're just watching AI companies slap version numbers on VS Code forks like they're NFTs. "My VS Code fork has more digits than yours" is the new "my dad can beat up your dad." Meanwhile, Emacs users are still configuring their first keystroke from 1976.

Oh honey, they said "coding is like a piano, you just need to learn how to use it" and CONVENIENTLY forgot to mention the part where the piano is ON FIRE, the sheet music is written in hieroglyphics, and someone keeps changing the laws of physics every time you press a key! 🔥 Sure, learning to code is "just like" learning an instrument—if that instrument occasionally EXPLODES when you hit the wrong note and the only instruction manual was written by someone who clearly hates you personally!

The AUDACITY of Microsoft to keep Internet Explorer on life support through Edge's "IE mode" is the tech equivalent of your ex refusing to delete your number! Web developers thought they'd finally escaped the nightmare of IE compatibility, only to find it lurking in Edge like that horror movie villain who JUST. WON'T. DIE. The look of pure trauma on developers' faces when a client says "But it needs to work in IE mode" is absolutely priceless. We've moved from writing code to writing therapy journal entries about our browser PTSD!

The first panel shows the face of resignation we all wear when starting yet another YouTube coding tutorial. You're already mentally preparing for the inevitable "but it works on my machine" moment when your code crashes spectacularly. Then comes the second panel – that moment of pure shock when the code actually runs . No dependency hell. No version mismatches. No mysterious errors from packages that were updated yesterday. Just... working code? It's like finding a unicorn in your backyard. The shock isn't from failure – it's from success against all statistical probability. Your brain simply doesn't know how to process this violation of the universal constants.

BEHOLD! The eternal programming language hierarchy in its most dramatic form! JavaScript stands there with that insufferable grin, basking in its web dominance while the other ghost-like languages SEETHE with jealousy. Then—PLOT TWIST—they all gang up to beat JavaScript into submission! But wait! The final panels reveal the TRUE victors: Python (TWICE because it's just THAT important) and PHP silently judging from their zen-like state of superiority. It's basically the programming language version of Mean Girls but with more semicolons and existential dread. The circle of life in development: first they mock you, then they fight you, then they reluctantly include your libraries in their projects anyway.

Sales: "Our software is revolutionary! Look at these smooth animations!" Meanwhile, developers are frantically messaging each other: "DON'T CLICK THAT BUTTON! THE ENTIRE DATABASE WILL EXPLODE!" The eternal tech company cycle: sales promising features that exist only in PowerPoint while developers contemplate career changes. The slick UI is just makeup on a pig that's about to crash spectacularly in production. But hey, the animations are buttery smooth!
