Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

Generally one thing that gives AI slop away is that it looks from first look to be high-effort, but the main content itself (here the meme text), is extremely low-effort.
Since this is a repost of a repost, and I remember seeing this image in the past I did a bit more digging, Google reverse image search cannot find an original source, all all images found date from after 2024, so GenAI images were there.
If this was from a real artist I'd expect to be able to find some original source and not just Reddit/Instagram posts from clickfarms with it.
