Cursed & meme cards
Not every card is a famous framework. Some of the best ones in the pool are repositories that exist to make developers laugh, or that accidentally became a joke. These cards get hand-drawn art and their own punchline on the card face. Here are some favourites, with the line you'll see when you pull them.
