So everyone's screaming about JavaScript being terrible, but then you look at how developers actually get the current year in production code. Instead of just using new Date().getFullYear(), some genius decided to hardcode "2025" wrapped in a beautiful mess of <footer><small> tags that don't even close properly. The closing </small> is chilling AFTER the text instead of wrapping it correctly.

Maybe JavaScript isn't the problem. Maybe it's the developers who refuse to use it correctly. This footer will be hilariously outdated in about 365 days, and some poor soul will have to manually update it while the rest of the internet just... uses a date function like normal people.

The real kicker? They're complaining about hardcoded YEARS while literally hardcoding a year. Chef's kiss. 💋👌

The Duck Debugger Strikes Again

When your debugging session gets interrupted by a rubber duck that actually works. The developer starts explaining their CSS padding issue to ChatGPT, notices something's wrong, and suddenly the rubber duck falls out of nowhere—forcing them into accidental rubber duck debugging. The irony? The duck solved the problem before ChatGPT could even respond. Proof that sometimes the best debugging tool is just talking to an inanimate object that judges you silently from your desk drawer.

From CSS Hell To JavaScript Purgatory

Developer: "Goodbye HTML and CSS! I will never suffer again!" *Summons JavaScript monster that promptly beats him with a bat* *JavaScript monster evolves into even more massive React beast* Frontend devs thinking they've escaped the horrors of CSS only to encounter the eldritch terrors of state management, component lifecycle, and prop drilling. The circle of suffering just gets bigger with each framework. It's not escaping pain—it's just upgrading to premium pain with better documentation!

The Wandering Developer's Eye

The eternal struggle of modern developers - being seduced by shiny new IDEs while Vim sits there wondering what happened to loyalty. The person labeled "Me" is turning away from Vim (the OG text editor) to ogle at all the fancy modern development tools like VSCode, IntelliJ, PyCharm, and WebStorm. It's the coding equivalent of dumping your reliable high school sweetheart for the cool transfer students with their fancy features and auto-completions. Sure, those IDEs might have debugging tools that actually work and don't require 47 keyboard shortcuts to save a file, but Vim has... um... bragging rights at developer meetups?

I Think The Weekend Is Obviously Superior

Frontend? DISGUSTING. Backend? PLEASE, get that monstrosity away from me! But the WEEKEND? *chef's kiss* The only development environment where bugs don't exist and the only stack I care about is a stack of pancakes! Five days of coding trauma followed by two days of sweet, sweet oblivion where the only thing I'm deploying is myself onto the couch. The weekend doesn't care about your CSS nightmares or database migrations - it just wants you to REST... and not the API kind!

I Am Not A Magician But I Do Pull Fixes Out Of Thin Air

The secret sauce of senior developers isn't magical knowledge—it's knowing exactly what to Google. That "10 years of experience" on my resume? That's just 10 years of increasingly sophisticated search queries. The beautiful irony is that while junior devs feel ashamed about searching for basics, the rest of us are frantically Googling "how to center div" for the 500th time. The difference? We've just gotten better at hiding our browser tabs during meetings.

The Dev Did Not Hesitate

The ultimate power move by a frontend dev who chose violence that day. While product managers cry about "mobile-first design" and UX designers preach the gospel of responsive breakpoints, this rebel just said "nope" and hardcoded their way to freedom. It's the digital equivalent of putting up an "Out of Order" sign on the office coffee machine because you don't feel like refilling it. Somewhere, a Bootstrap developer is having heart palpitations while this site's creator is enjoying their extra 40 hours of free time not spent debugging media queries.
