The Ever-Expanding Definition Of Full Stack

The duality of API testing tools is just *chef's kiss*. While normal developers see Postman as a simple wrench to fix API requests, Postman sees itself as the Apple of testing tools – complete with grandiose keynotes and revolutionary features nobody asked for. What started as a humble Chrome extension has evolved into a bloated ecosystem that requires 16GB of RAM just to send a GET request. Meanwhile, developers just want to check if their endpoint returns a 200 OK without having to join a cult. The irony? We're all still using it while complaining about it. Stockholm syndrome for developers.

Congratulations, you were born at the perfect time to experience the thrilling adventure of... tracking bugs in Jira, sending desperate emails in Gmail, taking notes in Notion, coding in VS Code, chatting in Slack, and designing in Figma. Meanwhile, our ancestors got to ride horses into battle and our descendants will get cool mech suits. But hey, at least we have dark mode.

The eternal programming adventure - you start coding with hope and optimism, then inevitably hit a bizarre bug. After hours of frustration, you find that exact bug described in a dusty StackOverflow thread from 2013. The question has 47 upvotes, 12 people commenting "I HAVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM!!!"... and zero answers. Just a tumbleweed rolling by and the original poster's final comment: "Nevermind, fixed it" with no explanation. The digital equivalent of finding an ancient treasure map with the actual treasure location torn off.

The revolutionary war for image formats rages on! Front-end developers and designers everywhere are channeling their inner Patrick Henry with this passionate declaration against WebP. Google's "superior" image format might offer better compression, but at what cost? File compatibility issues, inconsistent browser support, and that moment when you need to quickly edit an image but your design software chokes on the format. The JPG loyalists stand firm—they'd rather sacrifice a few kilobytes than surrender their workflow sanity. Sure, WebP might be 26% smaller, but so is my patience when trying to work with these files.

The unholy alliance that powers most tech companies. Engineers who talk big game but couldn't fizzbuzz their way out of a paper bag shaking hands with designers who think drop shadows solve everything. And in the middle? Product managers desperately holding this circus together while claiming they're "driving vision" in their LinkedIn profile. The real miracle is that anything ships at all.

The eternal date format war rages on! While most of the world sensibly uses the pyramid of DD/MM/YY (small to big), and some Asian countries flip it upside-down (YY/MM/DD), the USA just... does whatever the hell it wants with MM/DD/YY. It's like they designed their date format the same way they designed their healthcare system – maximum confusion for everyone involved. The beautiful irony is that only the YY/MM/DD format is actually ISO-8601 compliant and makes perfect sense for sorting. Meanwhile, programmers everywhere silently weep when handling date inputs from international users. Nothing says "fun weekend project" like writing regex to figure out if 03/04/05 means March 4th, 2005 or April 3rd, 2005 or... wait... 1905?
