Reject Modernity, Embrace Tradition

frontend-memes, javascript-memes, frameworks-memes, web-development-memes, react-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The ultimate hipster programmer manifesto has arrived! At the top, we have the "Reject modernity" squad featuring React, Tailwind, Vue, some hipster hamster, and TypeScript—basically everything recruiters won't stop messaging you about on LinkedIn. Meanwhile, the "Embrace tradition" crew is just chilling below with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Python—you know, the technologies that actually keep the internet from imploding. It's like choosing between a complicated pour-over coffee ritual versus just drinking the office coffee that somehow still works. Sure, the modern frameworks look impressive on your resume, but when the apocalypse comes, who do you think will still be able to make a website work? The person who can write vanilla JS or the one who needs 37 dependencies just to center a div?

The Inverse Correlation Of Screen Real Estate And Corporate Power

The corporate tech hierarchy is brutally accurate. CEOs get tiny iPhones because they're too busy "visioning" to actually look at spreadsheets. Meanwhile, the poor dev with dual monitors is cranking out code like a machine, probably hasn't seen sunlight in days, and is surviving purely on caffeine and stack overflow answers. The irony? The person with the most screens is simultaneously the most valuable and least appreciated asset in the company. That second monitor isn't a status symbol—it's a necessity for comparing your broken code with the documentation that lied to you.

Stop And Get Help This Is Not Right

First the cute anime kid begs you to stop scrolling, then hits you with that deadpan stare and the cold hard truth: "Stop using JavaScript on Server." Look, I've been around since jQuery was hot stuff. Node.js showed up and suddenly everyone's running JavaScript on servers like it's a good idea. Ten years and 47 npm vulnerabilities later, we're still pretending this language designed to validate form fields should run our entire backend infrastructure. The kid's right. Sometimes you need a strongly typed intervention from a cartoon toddler to snap out of your JavaScript Stockholm syndrome.

Nature's Warning Signs

Ah yes, JavaScript. Nature's way of warning us that something might bite. The yellow JS logo sitting there among actual venomous creatures is the perfect evolutionary adaptation - bright coloring that screams "approach with caution, side effects may include undefined behavior and callback hell." Developers have evolved to recognize this warning sign, yet we still poke it with a stick daily. Natural selection at its finest.

We Can't Do It Either

Trying to center a div is the modern equivalent of solving Fermat's Last Theorem. Eight hours of tweaking margin: 0 auto; , display: flex; , justify-content: center; , and sacrificing your firstborn to the CSS gods—yet that stubborn element still sits 2 pixels off-center. The tears aren't from sadness; they're from realizing you could've built an entire backend service in the time you've spent fighting with a rectangle that refuses to behave.

Too Competitive: The Dev Job Market Emotional Rollercoaster

The dev job market in four emotional stages: 1. Mild confidence : "I know 6 languages? That's decent, right?" 2. Excited overconfidence : "30 GitHub projects?! I'm basically a 10x developer at this point!" 3. Nuclear meltdown mode : *Frantically scrolling LinkedIn* "Wait, they want 12 years experience in a 5-year-old framework?!" 4. Existential despair : *Staring into the void* "10,000 applicants... one position... my resume is probably being used as digital scratch paper." The tech hiring funnel: where your impostor syndrome gets validated by actual numbers.

Will It Ever End?

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!
