Poor Annie thought she found someone with a LaTeX fetish, but instead encountered a document formatting enthusiast. She's using actual LaTeX markup commands to flirt (\begin{seduction-attempt}, \setcounter{date}{2}, etc.), while her date's blank stare confirms he's not processing her inputs correctly. The classic mixup between typesetting software and bedroom activities - a compiler error of the heart. Next time she should stick to Markdown for casual encounters.

Oh. My. GOD. The eternal struggle between non-technical managers and developers summed up in four glorious panels! 😱 On the left: The developer's face of pure AGONY as they reply "LGTM" (Looks Good To Me) without actually reviewing a SINGLE LINE of code because they're drowning in their own deadlines! On the right: The blissfully ignorant non-technical person with their flower crown of innocence asking if the code looks good, then the DEVASTATING realization that the developer didn't even GLANCE at their precious creation! The betrayal! The drama! The technical debt that's about to be unleashed upon the world because NOBODY HAS TIME TO PROPERLY CODE REVIEW ANYMORE! *faints dramatically*

The six stages of programming that they don't teach you in bootcamp: First, you write some beautiful code with the confidence of someone who hasn't been hurt before. Then you hit that run button with the naive optimism of a summer intern. And then... reality hits. Your terminal vomits errors like it's being paid per line. The emotional journey that follows is just *chef's kiss* - from shock to denial to bargaining with whatever deity oversees semicolons. By the end, you're literally on the floor questioning your career choices. The best part? We'll all do it again tomorrow. It's not imposter syndrome if the evidence keeps mounting.

Ah, the infamous code editor poll where VS Code dominates at 77% while the paper-and-pencil crowd sits at a surprising 12%. These handwritten code warriors aren't just old-school—they're transcendent beings operating at a cosmic level. The rest of us are debugging with breakpoints and syntax highlighting while they're debugging with erasers and somehow still getting PRs approved. Their code review process probably involves carrier pigeons and smoke signals. Either they're time travelers from the 1950s or they've ascended to a higher plane of existence where IDEs are just training wheels for mere mortals. Respect the 12%—they're either completely unhinged or secretly geniuses.

The bell curve of software development wisdom strikes again! The middle 68% of developers are frantically learning 20+ programming languages and frameworks, convinced they need to build custom apps for everything. Meanwhile, the geniuses at both extremes of the IQ spectrum share the same profound insight: "Just use Excel." After 15 years in the industry, I've watched countless teams spend months building complex systems that could've been a spreadsheet with some macros. The real 10x developer isn't the one who knows Rust, Go, and TypeScript—it's the one who realizes your "revolutionary inventory management system" is just a glorified table with math.

The eternal battle between while-do and do-while loops played out through Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote! On the left, Road Runner safely checks the condition (!edge) before running, saving himself from the cliff. Meanwhile, poor Coyote executes run() first and only checks (!edge) after he's already airborne. And that's why you always validate before executing, folks! The difference between falling and living another day is literally one line of code.

Look at those semicolons switching sides! The top code shows the classic "sad" C-style syntax where semicolons terminate statements. But the bottom shows the "happy" syntax from languages like Swift where colons come before the parameter instead of semicolons after. It's like the difference between ending a conversation with "Goodbye." and starting one with "Hey friend: what's up?" The second just feels more welcoming! Punctuation therapy for your code.
