We Are HTML Developers

Frontend developers: fearless warriors of the web... until they encounter a div with sharp corners. That's when the true horror begins. The same people who can wrangle JavaScript frameworks and battle cross-browser compatibility issues suddenly break into cold sweats at the sight of a button without border-radius: 14px . Because nothing says "I'm a serious developer" like being physically repulsed by 90-degree angles in your UI.

One pixel of CSS stroke-weight difference and suddenly your website looks like it's ready to judge your code quality. That moment when you hit save and your elegant design turns into a character from a medieval manuscript. The worst part? Your designer friend will notice it before you've even pushed to production.

OH MY GOSH, THIS IS TOO REAL! 😂 The holy trinity of coding: typing (the 10% when you're actually writing code), scrolling (through StackOverflow desperately hunting for solutions), and staring (at your screen for hours wondering why your perfectly logical code is giving you 47 errors). That last one hits different at 2AM when you've been debugging the same function for 3 hours straight and your coffee's gone cold! The truth nobody tells you in CS classes - coding is 90% looking confused!

Someone just asked the forbidden question that makes every backend developer's eye twitch. The response? Pure gold. "Why do we eat and go to the bathroom when we can throw food directly in the toilet? Because stuff needs to get processed." Connecting your frontend directly to the database is like giving every stranger on the internet your house keys and hoping they'll only use the bathroom. Sure, it's technically possible, but you're basically rolling out the red carpet for SQL injection attacks, exposing your credentials in client-side code, and letting users bypass any business logic you might have. The backend is where validation happens, authentication lives, business rules get enforced, and your data stays safe from curious DevTools users. But sure, skip it if you want your app to become a cautionary tale on r/netsec.

When a site asks for your "experience level" and the options range from "Aspiring engineer" to "I've suffered enough (10+ years)" - nothing captures the programming career trajectory quite like it. That escalation from bright-eyed optimism to battle-hardened veteran who's seen too many deprecated APIs and midnight production crashes. The longer you code, the more you realize your experience isn't measured in years but in psychological damage from legacy codebases. Whoever made this dropdown menu has clearly lived through the trenches of tech.

The counter shows negative one days since the last timezone issue, which means we're literally having timezone problems from the future . That's the special hell of distributed systems—you've got bugs arriving before you even write the code. Time zones are the eternal punishment for developers who thought "how hard could date handling be?" Spoiler: it's a nightmare wrapped in an enigma served with a side of daylight saving exceptions.
