Tell me you're web developer without telling me you're a web developer.

Some that came to mind:
- The sites with that "You need to subscribe to keep reading" message aren't a problem for me.
- VSCode and Chrome are my 2 most used apps.
- I cringe when I see a
.phpat the end of an URL. - When I see the number 418, I laugh.
- I can tell a color by it's hex value.

Even if you use PHP in 2022, showing the extension in the URL is so nasty 😅 ... Is like .aspx

Even worse when it's .jsp 🤢

What about '.cfm' ... eeks!

Y'all forgetting bout .html and .htm

TBH I don't have a problem with those 2, mainly because that's just a static site, generally .... so they have a better excuse to do that than the PHP folks.

What's wrong with .cfm @metacollective ? This shows you're dealing with an established app written at least two decades ago. Old but gold :)
PS: I know one of it's creators personally from high school.

Luckily I wasn't. I mean I dealt with CF every now and then and still do, but never was the only thing I do all day long.

Google was not responsible. Once again you can thank Xerox Park for inventing GUIs and this wonderful piece of Pythonistic humor. datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2324

my phone sometimes is 404;
I'm 401'd when entering my house without a key;
my son is 403'd from being mean to others;
putting the toilet paper in backwards is 405'd;
my towel folding tends to 406 often;
if my son doesn't listen, he often gets a 503;
when asking for anything special, I tend to 302 to my wife;
at the end of the day, if all goes well, I'd say the day was pretty 200;

I remember when png transparency became viable in Microsoft web browsers.
I remember when Active X controls were scriptable in Jscrpt (not javascript 😄).
I remember what Dreamweaver looked like before Adobe, before MX even. I also remember Cold Fusion.

I remember putting some JS on a page I made when I was a kid to remove the grey background on transparent PNG's. I wonder if it still exists somewhere.

- I have a $100 computer keyboard in my Amazon basket and I’m too chicken to enter checkout.
- I spent an hour last weekend getting my Neovim setup just right.
- I had to turn off an episode of a TV show when one of the characters “hacks” into a government server and “bypasses” a senior official’s “public firewall”.

My teacher accidentally pressed inspect element. Everyone thought she was opening hacks except me. I was constantly correcting my classmates for the next few weeks.

The whole generation of youngsters between 10 and 20 hates IE, programmers or not. Most of them because of Reddit threads, memes, etc. and it's the rad thing to do. The difference is programmers can explain why.
Collapse

I don't think many of them are worked on IE - What they express, is may not be hate. It could be an inferred opinion which fragile enough to change (based on the same reddit posts and memes). But only a dev who worked on it can say they hate it.
