We Are HTML Developers

The modern beginner's dilemma in one perfect image! Trying to pick your first programming language is like being that panicked creature staring at a floor scattered with tech options. JavaScript? Python? Maybe C#? Or perhaps one of those trendy frameworks? The cruel irony is that veterans know it barely matters which pill you swallow first - you'll end up learning half of them anyway. Yet we all remember that initial paralysis by analysis, frantically Googling "best programming language 2024" at 2AM while questioning our life choices. Pro tip: Just pick one and start building something. Six months later, you'll hate whatever you chose and switch anyway!

Vampires hiss at sunlight. Superman recoils from kryptonite. And programmers? They shield their precious retinas from the ungodly abomination known as light mode. The true mark of a senior developer isn't years of experience or complex algorithms mastered—it's the visceral, physical pain experienced when someone opens VS Code with default settings at 2 AM. Dark mode isn't a preference, it's a lifestyle choice that separates the professionals from the interns.

When CSS gets mildly annoying, my brain immediately abandons all logic and jumps straight to flexbox – that magical layout tool we barely understand but desperately hope will fix everything. It's the developer equivalent of hitting your TV when it stops working. The lizard brain takes over, and suddenly we're throwing display: flex at problems that don't even need it. "My button is 2px off? FLEXBOX. Text not centered? FLEXBOX. Computer on fire? You better believe that's a flexbox."

BEHOLD! The eternal lie every developer tells themselves when skipping proper documentation! "Don't worry, it's super intuitive, the user will know how to use it" they proclaim with unfounded confidence, while the poor user (represented by that absolutely CONFUSED dog) tries to figure out how to enter a doghouse THROUGH THE ROOF instead of the gaping entrance! This is the EXACT SAME ENERGY as releasing software with zero tutorials and then wondering why users are filing 47,000 support tickets! The audacity! The delusion! The sheer hubris of thinking your UI is "intuitive" when users can't even find the login button! I'm having flashbacks to every product meeting where someone said "it's self-explanatory" and I nearly threw my laptop out the window!

Ah, the eternal GitHub pronunciation debate has finally been settled by presidential decree! The pixel art podium has spoken: "It's pronounced 'JitHub'." Just imagine all those developers who've been saying "GitHub" with a hard G for years, suddenly questioning their entire existence. Next thing you know, they'll tell us SQL is actually pronounced "squirrel" and Python is "pie-thon." The best part? This is clearly a matter of national security, hence the flags. Nothing says "this pronunciation is non-negotiable" like a pixelated presidential address. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them with my pull requests.

Ah, the classic "one-line commit to fame" pipeline! Nothing says "senior developer material" like fixing a typo in the README and immediately updating your LinkedIn with "Core Contributor at Major FOSS Project." The best part? That single docs update probably took 3 hours of fighting with the project's arcane contribution guidelines, two rejected PRs, and a heated discussion about Oxford commas in the issue tracker. But hey, that GitHub green square is worth its weight in gold during job interviews!
