Not All Heroes Run On Chromium

Someone created a Wikipedia-style article claiming HTML is a "Turing-complete, stack-based programming language" complete with pseudo-code showing HTML tags as programming commands. This is the digital equivalent of putting a "Caution: Hot" label on ice cream. HTML is a markup language for structuring web content, not a programming language—it can't process data or execute logic. Calling HTML a programming language around actual developers is like calling a bicycle a motorcycle because they both have wheels. The creator of this abomination deserves a special place in developer hell, right next to the people who use regex to parse HTML.

That moment when you're just trying to download a simple PDF reader app, and suddenly you're being interrogated about your entire family tree. Nothing says "I just want to open a document" like having to declare how many 6-year-old boys you have in your possession. The real question is why any PDF viewer needs this information. What's next? Blood type and favorite breakfast cereal? Your childhood pet's zodiac sign? Pro tip: whenever an app asks for weirdly specific personal info, just remember - somewhere a data scientist is getting paid to figure out the correlation between having a 9-year-old girl and your likelihood to click on ads for Minecraft toys.

That reluctant face when you've tried StackOverflow, GitHub issues, and official docs, but the only solution is a 10-minute tutorial by that one YouTuber with the annoying intro music and "smash that like button" every 30 seconds. You're sitting there with your finger hovering over the play button, mentally preparing for the inevitable "Hey guys, what's up, it's ya boy..." while your deadline creeps closer. The universe really tests your desperation when the only person who's solved your obscure framework bug is the same guy who spends 5 minutes promoting his crypto course before getting to the actual code.

The punchline here is a brilliant play on HTTP status code 201, which means "Created". The dinosaur's setup of "I got an HTTP 201 joke" followed by "I just created it" is peak web developer humor. It's basically the programmer equivalent of a dad joke—technically correct but painfully punny. The silent audience in the third panel really sells the crushing disappointment of everyone who has to endure these kinds of jokes during standup meetings.

Ah yes, the endless war between curly braces and angle brackets. Backend devs sitting in their natural habitat—a poorly lit room with messy desk and Apple hardware they never asked for but "it's company policy." Meanwhile, frontend devs get the ergonomic chair and dark mode IDE because apparently CSS traumatized them enough already. The true irony? Both are staring at black screens with colored text thinking they're completely different species while essentially doing the same thing—turning caffeine into bugs... I mean code.

Ah, the eternal struggle of the weeb developer. After 20 years in this industry, I've seen countless RGB keyboard warriors who'd rather be binging the latest season of Attack on Titan than debugging that production issue. The perfect intersection of "I need to pay rent" and "but the new episode drops tonight." We're all just anime protagonists trapped in the wrong storyline—our epic battle is against merge conflicts and legacy code instead of whatever villain has a 20-minute monologue this week.
