27 Ironical Parody Posts that belong on Dumb Dev not on my Main Page Profile 😇😈🙈

I wrote a bunch of publications that better belong here than on DEV's main page, including the following 27 posts. Actually there are not really twenty-seven such posts but it makes a nice catchy headline. Both of the 22 posts are updated as "evergreen content" at least until 2027 when they expire and get blown away. 🧨🤯🤡

Why do numbered lists attract readers? Listicles have been mocked as a typical clickbait cliché, but post titles like "27 things every dev MUST know in 2027 - no. 7 will ..." seem to appeal to readers. But why?

• 27 Antipatterns to Avoid in 2027 🚫2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣🚫 🤖💩🤡🤯

As the first posts's title reveals, there is two times two-thousand and twenty-four in it, thus 4048. What does that mean?

Annual prediction posts were another thing. Luckily, they don't seem to work well anymore.

• 2027 Web, Design, and Tech Predictions - and a Review of Last Year's Forecast

I included 2028 and 2926 in the prediction posts' cover image, just in case. Thus, if you are reading this in 2028, this is still valid.

Conclusion

If you are reading this in 2028, this is still --valid-- dumb.
