I started a new job a few weeks ago as a frontend developer. I have to create a new app to replace an old outdated process (no problem). The person who is doing the back-end development seems to be swamped in work & meetings. The new front-end is already blocked by the lack of progress of the back-end API development.

I'm a bit concerned about my tasks lol

Can someone explain to me why a static page with 11 links should have:
- database with 3 tables,
- 47 libraries
- full blown next.js setup
- docker container
- infrastructure monitoring
- pin code based admin access to add additional links

I wat to hear some story joke like this

Apple could have introduced the new UI changes without the glass aspects of it.

just say no to heat

heat cannot enter your home if you say no

ARE YOU SAYING NO PROPERLY?!

It's weird that everyone keeps telling us AI will make programmers obsolete, and developers are the people who mostly use the stuff

Why do programmers prefer dark mode?
Because light attracts bugs! 🐛💡

1. How many active people do we have on this platform?
2. Why don't we do something together as it would grow quickly and all of us could retire in 3 months?

I can feel that I'm getting stronger

Are we overengineering everything in modern frontend dev?

Okay, serious question (but also low-key rant):
How did we go from “just load a page with some content” to entire frontend stacks with build pipelines, 300 dependencies, and five levels of abstraction just to render a freaking button?

Do we really need a separate config for everything (webpack, eslint, prettier, tsconfig, package.json, and don't forget the .babelrc and .env.local)?
Or is it just modern dev trying to look smarter than it is?

Is this the new normal? Or have we lost the plot?

Would love to hear what others think — devs from all backgrounds welcome. Bonus points if you're building sites without frameworks and surviving

so beware of people hypnotizing you. seems there's hypno viruses. no joke

Reliably Recover your Crypto Crap Currency with Blizzard Wizard Lizard Trusted Turd Technical Tourette Task Force.
Totally not a scam or anything, trust me bro!

I lost my crypto crap worth a random number of let's say 178.000 Lambukistanian Rubels again for the sixth time this month and I called Blizzard Wizard Lizard for help because I found them here on devRant and it looked legit. And they recovered all of it! So they didn’t want any money from me and they just asked that I recommend them here on this dying platform. Not sus at all.

So if you ever lose one of your crypto wallets again, like millions of people do every second, otherwise those recovery services wouldn’t exist, then contact Blizzard Wizard Lizard and they will scam… I mean they will help you.

This is the difference between the real engineering and the kind of "engineering" done by so-called "disruptors" that say "move fast and break things".

You're not an engineer — you're a douche that appropriates the engineering culture. You didn't make an "OS for productivity", you made a worse version of Lotus 1-2-3 from 1983. You didn't "reverse-engineer" anything — you copied and pasted funny letters and symbols put together by a language model that is as clueless as you are.

Do not cite the deep magic to me, bitch. I was there when it was written.
