Who's Gonna Tell Him

STOP THE PRESSES! The computing world has been turned upside down as an HTML "programmer" somehow convinced the Turing Award committee they're an actual developer! The joke here is that HTML is a markup language, not a programming language - it's like giving a Nobel Prize in Physics to someone who put together IKEA furniture! The right side of the image shows the "genius" at work - literally just styling some text in a browser inspector. Next up: CSS artist wins Fields Medal for changing a background color to #2a2a2a. The computing community is in shambles!

Ah, the strange tech timeline we exist in. Old enough to have endured the demonic screeching of dial-up modems connecting at 56kbps, waiting 10 minutes for a single JPEG to load... yet completely unable to tolerate a modern website that doesn't appear instantly. Our patience was forged in digital hellfire only to completely evaporate with technological progress. The irony of surviving 30-minute downloads back then but rage-closing Chrome tabs after 5 seconds now is the perfect encapsulation of how utterly spoiled we've become. Progress is a cruel mistress.

The eternal betrayal of Ctrl+C! You've just spent 20 minutes crafting the perfect SQL query, hit Ctrl+C to copy it... and then stare in horror as your clipboard contains "how to center a div" from your Google search 3 hours ago. No programmer in their right mind trusts Ctrl+C without the sacred verification ritual: triple-clicking to select, re-copying, and then frantically pasting into Notepad just to be 100% sure. We've all been burned too many times by that deceptive little shortcut! The bottom panel showing someone frantically mashing Ctrl+C multiple times is the most accurate representation of developer paranoia ever captured in meme form.

The elegant waitstaff vs. the pirates of the digital seas. APIs are the polished professionals of data exchange—neat, documented, and officially sanctioned. Meanwhile, web scrapers are the chaotic renegades who'll pillage your HTML by any means necessary when you refuse to share your data properly. After 15 years in the industry, I've been on both sides. Sure, I'll use your beautiful REST API when available, but catch me at 2 AM cobbling together a janky Python script with BeautifulSoup when your terms of service are too restrictive and my deadline is tomorrow.

The eternal struggle of junior devs everywhere! That moment when you're stuck on a problem but somehow asking your senior dev feels less intimidating than typing it into Google and discovering it's a super basic question with 500 duplicate StackOverflow posts all marked as "closed for being too obvious." The fear isn't about finding the answer—it's about discovering you're the 10,000th person to ask why your code isn't working when you forgot a semicolon!

Two wizards plotting the downfall of developer sanity! Nothing says "I wield ultimate power" like enforcing tabs over spaces or requiring semicolons after every statement. These lint lords stand atop their mountain, gazing upon the kingdom of code they're about to throw into chaos with their arcane proclamations. The dark wizard is definitely pushing for "no-unused-vars" while his companion is advocating for "max-line-length: 80". Together they're crafting the perfect ESLint config that will make the entire engineering team contemplate career changes. Pure evil has never been so perfectly indented.
