While Redditing I Openned Console And Saw This

The breakfast of modern web browsers. This cereal box parody perfectly captures how Google has turned the browser market into a monoculture where everything is just Chromium in different packaging. Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi - they're all just colorful Chromium berries with different logos slapped on. Firefox and Safari are probably hiding in the pantry wondering why nobody eats real browsers anymore. Naturally and artificially flavored with tracking cookies and RAM consumption.

The eternal question from management: "Why pay engineers when Stack Overflow is free?" The answer is brutally simple. Copying code: $1. Knowing which code won't crash your production server at 2AM: $100,000/year. The real skill isn't typing—it's knowing which StackOverflow answer won't summon demons through your USB ports.

The classic management time warp. Six months ago: "Epic UI design guys, love it!" Two days before deadline: "Wtf is this garbage UI?" Same design. Same manager. Different proximity to deadline. You could build the Sistine Chapel of interfaces and it'll still be "garbage" when the sprint's ending. Ten years in the industry and I've yet to see a manager who remembers approving anything.

OH MY GOD WHO PUT A LITERAL NIGHTMARE CREATURE ON AN AI BOOK?! 😱 Nothing says "I'm going to replace your job" quite like putting a horrifying deep-sea eldritch abomination on your tech book! That brittle star creature is SCREAMING "I will consume your soul while you sleep" but the men on the right are all of us witnessing the AI apocalypse in real time! O'Reilly books are known for animals, but they've officially crossed into psychological warfare territory with this one. Someone in marketing deserves both a raise and intensive therapy sessions. 💀

Java? Mild concern. JavaScript? Complete nuclear meltdown of the brain. The perfect representation of developers who thought they were getting into Java's younger sibling only to discover it's an entirely unrelated language with type coercion that would make a mathematician cry. "Oh, '2' + 2 equals '22'? Sure, why not. Let's also make null == undefined but null !== undefined because consistency is for the weak."

The eternal promise of documentation vs. the crushing reality. You spend hours debugging some obscure error, finally surrender your ego and check the docs, only to find such helpful gems as "returns a value if successful" or my personal favorite: "this function does what it's supposed to do." Thanks for nothing. The only thing more useless than bad documentation is the mandatory team-building exercise where Dave from accounting tells us about his weekend kayaking trip.
