Spiders: The Only Web Developers Who Love Bugs

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of this calculator! You input 7 × 5, expecting a boring old 35, and what do you get? "Hello World"?! SERIOUSLY?! 💀 When your first coding project is such a disaster that basic math transforms into introductory programming phrases. The calculator had ONE JOB—to calculate—but decided to have an existential crisis instead and greet the universe! This is what happens when you let your code decide its own career path without proper supervision!

BEHOLD! The entire programmer existence condensed into one TRAGIC timeline! From innocent birth to the cold, cold grave, we're just screaming at our screens in eternal confusion! 😱 First phase: "I don't know why this code isn't working!" *frantically bangs head on keyboard while chugging energy drinks* Second phase: "I don't know why this code IS working!" *stares suspiciously at functioning code like it's about to explode* THE AUDACITY of the universe to make us spend our ENTIRE EXISTENCE oscillating between these two states of magnificent confusion! And they expect us to pay TAXES on top of this?!

The evolution of RAM-hungry applications, illustrated by increasingly fancy Winnie the Pooh: First, we blame Windows for hogging our RAM. Then Chrome enters the chat with its tab-per-gigabyte appetite. Discord slides in with its "simple chat app" that somehow needs more resources than early space missions. Firefox joins the party pretending to be the lightweight alternative while silently devouring your memory. And then there's Visual Studio 2022 – the final boss of RAM consumption. The IDE that makes you question if you really need both kidneys or if selling one for more RAM might be a sensible career investment. The real joke? We keep buying more RAM instead of demanding better software. Stockholm syndrome, developer edition.

OH. MY. GOD. Someone left their Git commands in the production UI! 😱 The absolute HORROR of seeing <<<<<<< HEAD and >>>>>>> master splashed across a payment page like some kind of digital crime scene! That poor utility bill of $176.12 is now trapped in merge conflict purgatory until 2025! Whoever pushed this code straight to production without resolving their conflicts is about to experience the most dramatic performance review in corporate history. Their career is flatlining harder than that payment system!

The VS Code startup screen - where beginners stare in awe at a splash screen that's basically just ASCII art mountains with a logo. Meanwhile, the rest of us disabled that nonsense years ago because those 0.8 seconds could be spent contemplating our life choices. Nothing says "I'm new here" like being impressed by decorative dots.

Ah, the classic programmer paradox. You claim you don't have impostor syndrome while simultaneously providing irrefutable evidence that you do. It's like saying your code has no bugs while frantically hiding 47 console.log() statements and a TODO comment from 2019. This hits way too close to home. After 20 years in this industry, I still Google basic syntax while leading architecture meetings. We're all just that student who somehow got an honors diploma despite feeling completely illiterate in our own codebase. The difference is we don't sue about it - we just keep collecting those paychecks until someone figures out we're just sophisticated pattern matchers with caffeine dependencies.
