As a legendary programmer once said:

"An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity"

As a legend programmer once said;

There are two types of languages: Those which programmers complain about and those they don't use.

"759 bugs on report, 759 bugs! Take one down, patch it out, 989 bugs on report! FATAL ERROR."

Ah, this is madness! I know, I'll make a framework to fix it!

And this is just the technologies that survived. There were Java Applets, Flash was ubiquitous for many years, VBScript in the browser was a competitor to JS years ago, and Silverlight was discontinued as recently as 2019.

I miss the days where most webpages were something you could code in notepad with standard html tags. That was before you had 50+ scripts running on one page, 90% of them served ads, and 10% of them did stuff in the background that you probably didn't care about, like checking what kind of browser you're using. Back during the 90s, when this was the case, the only way you got a virus, was by downloading an executable, and nothing downloaded without you knowing about it, especially since download speeds were so slow back then, if something DID download, you'd notice it.

99% of web developers quit making a new framework right before solving all their problems

Classic programmer joke

Situation: There are 14 different standards
“What? 14?! That’s crazy! We need to develop one universal standard that covers all use cases!”
Situation: There are 15 different standards

PHP + Bootstrap + some cursed javascript abomination still going strong

[Iejdnx]

The most beautiful youtube short I have ever seen

[SpiritmanProductions]

"The great thing about so many standards is that everyone can have one!"

Props to the coders who were smart enough to create job security

JQuery is like PHP, it's never getting out of the system 😂

FYI: South Korean Government webpages require all government softwares to run specific combos of web frameworks based on ancient versions of Spring Framework (also known as egovframe). jQuery is part of that and is mandatory. So yes, new jQuery code is being written. In 2023!
