Million Dollar TLD Dreams

The classic tech panic bait-and-switch! First half: "AI is coming for your jobs, web devs! DSA knowledge? Useless. MERN stack? Dead. Only learn ML and chase whatever shiny new tech appears on the horizon!" Then the punchline drops: "The more terrified everyone is, the fewer people will compete for jobs... which means more job security for me ." It's the programming equivalent of telling kids the ice cream truck only plays music when it's out of ice cream. Pure psychological warfare disguised as career advice!

While politicians argue about what George Washington would think today, the truth is clear - our first president would've ditched the powdered wig for the sweet, sweet embrace of VS Code's dark theme. Forget crossing the Delaware; he'd be crossing breakpoints and merging pull requests. The man who couldn't tell a lie would definitely tell you to stop using Notepad++ and join the modern era. Constitutional amendments? Nah, he'd be more concerned with his extension recommendations and keyboard shortcuts. The father of our country would've been the father of clean, well-indented code.

The holy trinity of software development: Stack Overflow for solutions, copy-paste shortcuts for implementation, and the sleep-deprived original authors who actually built the thing from scratch. After 15 years in this industry, I've learned the real heroes aren't the ones answering questions online—they're the caffeine-fueled maniacs who wrote the original codebase at 3am, powered by energy drinks and pure spite. The rest of us are just digital archaeologists digging through their ancient artifacts.

When VS Code decides it's had enough of your spaghetti functions and infinite loops. That error message might be fake, but the feeling is painfully real. Every developer knows that moment when your editor might as well just say "I give up" instead of pointing out the actual syntax error on line 347. The only thing missing is VS Code slowly clapping while it watches you struggle through your 5th refactor attempt.

Ah yes, the web development journey in four panels. "Learn to make a website" - sure, sounds fun! "Add the HTML" - easy peasy, just throw some tags around. "Add the CSS" - and that's where the villain origin story begins. The fourth panel showing pure existential dread is basically every frontend dev at 2AM trying to center a div. HTML is your obedient puppy, but CSS is that cat that knocks your coffee onto your keyboard while maintaining eye contact.

Ah, the classic "build it and they will come" fallacy in its purest form! Some bearded tech wizard with fancy headphones coding away in complete isolation, creating what he thinks users want without bothering to ask a single one. The ultimate developer fantasy - no pesky user feedback to ruin your perfect vision! Sure, the product will be a spectacular failure that solves problems nobody has, but at least the architecture is technically brilliant . Who needs market research when you have caffeine and confidence?
