Ah, the classic tale of a developer trapped in a timeless loop of rewriting ancient languages in new technology. 🕰️🔄 Because, you know, why use modern tools when you can spend your free time making a 15-year-old project run on the latest buzzword? 🙄🚀

Ah, the classic tale of a developer who thought a radio button update would be a simple task ⏩, only to discover they're knee-deep in Shadcn's absurdly tangled web of React components 🕸️. Turns out, reinventing the wheel isn't just for bicycle enthusiasts anymore 🚴‍♂️.

The Incredible Overcomplexity of the Shadcn Radio Button

Radio buttons are built into web browsers. Why are we using a UI library that wraps another UI library that rebuilds radio buttons from scratch? Why does rendering a radio button require multiple dependencies and several kilobytes of JavaScript? How did we make a built-in browser control so complicated?

Big milestone achieved today! So big that I made a meme about it.

Dear Gradle, Why So Stubborn?
Do I do something wrong?

Watching juniors try to set up a project and being greeted by cryptic stack traces like it's some kind of initiation ritual.

`Unsupported class file major version 61`
`invalid CEN header zip64 no access package`, ...

Java can compile code for older versions just fine.
It's literally designed for that.
Oh why, must Gradle behave like a bitter librarian who refuses to hand over a book unless I whisper the exact Dewey Decimal Code?
Every other Language will laugh again at java, seeing this.

💡 Why is Gradle bound to a java version? And if Gradle knows it needs Java 11… why doesn't it just do this for me?
Like using `/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11` in background?

🤖 Is there a clean way to force Gradle into submission without adding another tool like SDKMAN or jabba or YunaBraska/gradle-java-fix or whatever the trendy painkiller of the week is?

Developers, when your work laptop disk fills up, what's the VERY LAST thing you'll delete? 🤔🗑️

Customer: ‘It doesn’t work. Fix it!!’ 🔧💀
Developer: Ah yes, let me just consult my crystal ball… 🔮😤

Clear bug reports save lives (and sanity).

A keyboard with no "Ctrl" key. It’s like giving a developer a car without wheels. 🚗💨

A "404 Not Found" t-shirt to a developer who’s been debugging for 6 hours straight. They already feel lost enough. 😅 #DeveloperProblems #CodingLife #GiftsThatShouldNeverBeGifted #Arahimx
