The circus of frontend development in four acts. First, we're applying basic makeup with web apps. Then we're adding a bit more flair with React's "seamless" UI promises. By the third panel, we've gone full clown with React Native's write-once fantasy. But the final transformation? Finding out Windows Start menu is supposedly React Native. That's when you realize you've been part of the circus all along. The progression from "this makes sense" to "dear god what have we done" is the true frontend experience.

The eternal Mac vs PC debate has claimed another victim. When told he "needs a Mac to code properly," this absolute legend took the most malicious compliance approach possible - using an actual MacBook as a mousepad while gaming on his Windows laptop. The irony is just *chef's kiss*. Ten bucks says he's writing some killer code in Visual Studio while his senior dev is still trying to figure out why Homebrew is broken again after the latest OS update.

That moment when your client emails a biblical scroll of "bugs" they found while using Internet Explorer 6 on their Windows XP fossil. Like Napoleon here, you're just staring into the abyss contemplating your life choices. What am I supposed to do? Build a time machine? The browser was discontinued in 2022 for a reason. No amount of CSS hacks or polyfills will save that trainwreck. But you'll still spend three days trying to fix it because the client pays your bills. Meanwhile, Chrome and Firefox users are having zero issues with your perfectly standards-compliant code.

Accidentally launching full Visual Studio instead of VS Code is like preparing for a quick code edit but suddenly finding yourself strapped into a space shuttle. The 51-year loading time isn't even an exaggeration—you could practically evolve a new programming language while waiting for all those enterprise features to initialize. Meanwhile, your RAM is crying in the corner as Visual Studio consumes every available resource like a black hole devouring nearby stars. The perfect misclick that transforms a 10-second task into an unplanned coffee break.
