Master Web Developer

The secret sauce of modern development revealed! When asked about becoming a coder, the honest answer isn't four years of computer science or mastering algorithms—it's just endlessly Googling error messages until something magically works. The uncomfortable truth is that 90% of our "expertise" is knowing exactly what to search for and which Stack Overflow answer to copy-paste. ChatGPT is just Google with extra steps and fewer captchas asking us to identify traffic lights.

Oh. My. GOD! The absolute state of React developers in 2023! 💀 We're out here DELIBERATELY turning off optimizations with useMemo like some kind of performance-hating MONSTERS! The sheer AUDACITY of that little stick figure just smiling and nodding while React's optimization features are being MURDERED right in front of him! This is the equivalent of watching someone pour sugar in your gas tank and responding with "yea" instead of calling the police! The cognitive dissonance is just *chef's kiss* SPECTACULAR! React's over here trying its best with all those fancy hooks, and we're just like "no thanks, I PREFER my app to run like it's on a 1998 calculator watch!" 🙃

Ah yes, the paper and pencil gang. While 77% of developers are comfortably clicking away in VS Code, there's a special breed of masochists who insist on handwriting their code like it's 1952. These are the same people who probably debug by squinting really hard at their notebook and whispering "syntax error" to themselves. Their goals are indeed beyond our understanding—possibly because their handwritten code is literally beyond anyone's ability to read, including their own.

This developer just casually created an "app skeleton" with 3,163 files changed and +637,124 lines of code in a SINGLE commit. That's not a skeleton—that's an entire digital cemetery! When most of us create a "skeleton app," we mean a few files and basic structure. This person apparently thinks "skeleton" means "fully formed creature with organs, skin, and probably its own consciousness." The PR is even marked "Ready to merge" with no reviews requested. Bold strategy—let's see if anyone survives the code review!

Browsing the web in 2024 is basically playing a game of "Popup Whack-a-Mole" before you can actually read anything. Two years later and nothing's changed - we've just gotten faster at the cookie-decline-video-stop-popup-close speedrun. The real achievement isn't finding the information you need, it's remembering what you were looking for after battling through five layers of digital harassment. Modern web developers aren't creating websites anymore; they're designing obstacle courses with a tiny content reward at the end.

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.
