True Story

The evolution of software engineering in its natural habitat! First, we have the innocent "Software Engineer" - just a regular Pooh bear doing honest work. Then there's the slightly pretentious "Sr Software Engineer" - same bear, just wearing a tux and acting fancy because they learned what a design pattern is. But the final form? The "pRoMpt eNgiNeEr" with that cursed ransom-note typography - it's just a deranged panda typing "make me a website that looks like Amazon but better" into ChatGPT and calling it coding. The tech industry's equivalent of ordering a pizza and claiming you made dinner.

THE AUDACITY! JavaScript haters have been screaming about its demise for DECADES, and yet here we are, still using it to power 99.9% of the web! The meme absolutely DESTROYS the haters with that savage comeback - "If there were a better substitute, a single language would have been sufficient." BURN! 🔥 Meanwhile, JavaScript is just standing there, arms crossed, absolutely UNBOTHERED while frameworks come and go like seasonal fashion trends. TypeScript, Node.js, React, Vue - they're all just JavaScript wearing different outfits! The language everyone loves to hate but CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT!

When your hair matches your syntax highlighting perfectly but everyone just wants to debug your React component. 🙄 The real flex isn't the purple-themed VS Code or the meticulously styled purple hair—it's having the confidence to push code with that many nested divs and not even care about the critique. Honestly, who cares if your React component could use some refactoring when your aesthetic game is this strong? Fashion-driven development is the new TDD.

The ultimate developer loophole! Standard JSON doesn't support comments, driving devs to ridiculous workarounds. But technically, if you add comments to your JSON and call it YAML... you're not wrong! YAML is indeed a superset of JSON that allows comments. It's like ordering a Diet Coke with your triple cheeseburger—technically healthier, but who are we kidding? The Kermit sipping tea meme perfectly captures that smug "I found a hack" energy every developer feels when circumventing language limitations with a technically-correct-but-absurd solution.

The BETRAYAL is REAL! You're there, frantically hammering CTRL+C to copy that precious code snippet, and what happens? NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Meanwhile, CTRL+V pastes whatever random garbage you copied three hours ago instead of your beautiful, life-saving solution. The clipboard—that digital backstabber—is the reason I have trust issues and stress-eat cookies at 3 AM while debugging. It's like the clipboard is DELIBERATELY waiting for that crucial moment in a demo to completely ghost you!

The industry keeps inventing new terms to sell the same old drag-and-drop builders. First it was "low-code/no-code" platforms promising to make developers obsolete. Now it's "vibe code" - same cheap knockoff but with a trendy rebrand. It's like putting a fedora on a WYSIWYG editor and calling it innovative. Meanwhile, actual developers are sitting back watching management fall for buzzwords that'll be abandoned faster than a Git repository after the startup funding dries up.
