Thanks Dad, For The £500 "Simple" Website Gig

The great port extinction of our time! This meme perfectly captures the devolution of laptop design from "Swiss Army knife of connectivity" to "hope you enjoy carrying dongles for the rest of your life." Modern laptops went from having every port imaginable to basically two identical USB-C ports that require you to carry an adapter the size of a small country. Minimalism is great until you need to connect literally anything. The bottom MacBook is practically begging "please sir, may I have some more ports?" while the top one is like "we heard you like dongles, so we removed everything else."

When you hit Ctrl+S for the 500th time in 10 minutes and your IDE minion dares to question your saving habits! 😂 The eternal struggle between the anxious developer who saves obsessively after every semicolon and the poor computer that knows nothing has actually changed. But that paranoia after losing work once is FOREVER! No amount of autosave features will cure this trauma - just let me spam that save button in peace!

Ever wondered why your laptop fans sound like they're preparing for liftoff? Look no further than your node_modules folder! While your actual code might be a svelte stormtrooper, those dependencies are an absolute unit that would make the Death Star blush. 500 lines of your code somehow requires 500MB of someone else's code. And heaven forbid you run npm install on a weak WiFi connection – you could literally go make a sandwich, watch a Star Wars trilogy, and come back to find it still downloading the "essential" packages needed to center a div.

The eternal struggle of our people. Just like vampires hiss at sunlight and Superman cowers from kryptonite, programmers recoil in horror at light-themed IDEs. Twenty years in this industry and I've never met a senior dev who willingly uses light mode. Our eyes have evolved to thrive in the darkness of basement offices and midnight debugging sessions. White backgrounds? That's for interns and management who code once a year. The rest of us prefer our screens like our coffee - dark and keeping us alive through questionable life choices.

Ah, the classic "we just found a bug in something you built during the Obama administration" scenario. That forced smile hides the internal screaming of every developer who's had to dive back into ancient code they don't even remember writing. The best part? The feature probably worked perfectly for 4 years until someone decided to use it in a way that defies all logic and reason. Now you get to archaeologically excavate your own code while the client watches with that "we're paying you a lot of money" expression. Time to dust off the old commit history and figure out what past-you was thinking... if you even documented it. Spoiler alert: you didn't.

This meme is peak database chaos energy! Changing your name to " OR ""=" is basically the digital equivalent of bringing a skeleton key to a database party. When a poorly secured system tries to query your name, it'll execute SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = "" OR ""="" which—surprise!—evaluates to TRUE for every record. Suddenly you're not just accessing your account, you're accessing EVERYONE'S account. It's like telling the bouncer "I'm either on the list OR 2=2" and watching them let you into every VIP room simultaneously. Database developers everywhere just felt a cold shiver down their spine.
