Modern Web Vs. Government Time Capsules

The four stages of becoming a JavaScript developer: 1. Innocent excitement: "Ooh, a book about JavaScript!" 2. First encounter with callback hell: *uncontrollable sobbing* 3. Acceptance phase: *builds fortress of solitude with multiple monitors* 4. Final form: Bearded wisdom, thousand-yard stare, and a strong drink to numb the pain of yet another framework release. They grow up so fast when you feed them promises that never resolve.

THE AUDACITY of Discord's file size limits is the greatest tragedy of our digital age! 😤 A measly 10MB for your precious memes and technical PDFs? *dramatic gasp* UNACCEPTABLE! But wait—what's this? The same platform somehow allows TWENTY-FIVE MEGABYTES for your questionable music collection?! The math is MATHING in all the wrong ways! It's like Discord is personally attacking documentation lovers while secretly being run by a cabal of underground DJs. The struggle is REAL for those of us trying to share our 200-page API documentation PDFs without upgrading to Nitro. Truly the definition of digital oppression.

The eternal cycle of tech mentorship! Senior devs who once struggled with the same questions now weaponize "just Google it" like it's their sacred duty. Meanwhile, junior devs are just trying to navigate the labyrinth of documentation that seniors have Stockholm syndrome for. The irony? That senior probably has 47 Stack Overflow tabs open right now. Let's be honest - half of "senior experience" is just knowing exactly what to Google.

Oh snap! Looks like someone just invented HTTPS😐 - the secure but emotionally neutral protocol! When your connection is encrypted but your server is going through some stuff. Security teams are thrilled while the emoji is clearly having an existential crisis. Trust me, this is what happens when developers try to make protocols more relatable but forget to update the emoji library. Your data is safe but your feelings? Not so much!

The euphoric high of a new project idea versus the soul-crushing reality of implementation. That initial burst of dopamine when you think "I'll build a revolutionary app that changes everything!" followed by the existential dread five minutes later when you realize you've forgotten how a for-loop works. The duality of developer life: one minute you're Tom from Tom & Jerry celebrating genius, the next you're contemplating a career in goat farming because clearly coding isn't for you. The speed at which confidence evaporates is truly a marvel of physics.

The GitHub portfolio paradox strikes again! What you're seeing is the classic "my GitHub is a disaster" syndrome where developers claim their repos showcase their skills, but the reality is a collection of bizarre, half-finished experiments that make absolutely no sense to anyone else. Those planes are the perfect metaphor - technically they're all aircraft, but some are missing wings, others are just engines, and one appears to be defying the laws of physics entirely. It's like having 47 repos with names like "test-thing2" and "new-project-FINAL-ACTUALLY-FINAL-v3" with exactly one commit from 2019.
