When Pitching To Publishers... Learned The Hard Way

12 minutes ago 3.1K views 0 shares

Publishers when game devs start talking about intricate world-building, market analysis, and detailed roadmaps: I sleep Publishers when they see actual gameplay footage: REAL SHIT! Every indie dev learns this painful truth eventually. You can have 50 spreadsheets of market data and the most epic lore bible since Tolkien, but publishers just want to see if your game looks fun for 30 seconds. The business side wants the sizzle reel, not your 400-page design document that took 6 months to write!

It Does Not Use My Favorite Patterns

First day on the job and already planning to rewrite millions of lines of code? Classic junior developer syndrome. Nothing says "I'm going to revolutionize this place" quite like deciding the entire codebase is garbage before you've even found where the bathroom is. The sheer audacity of looking at legacy code and thinking "Yeah, I can fix this by tomorrow" is peak developer hubris. Spoiler alert: six months later, you'll be defending that same "horrible" code to the next new hire.

The Art Of Problem Avoidance

Ah, the sophisticated art of problem-solving! Why spend hours debugging your broken code when you can simply delete the linter and live in blissful ignorance? It's like covering the check engine light with duct tape instead of fixing your car. Sure, the code still crashes in production, but at least those pesky red squiggly lines aren't hurting your feelings anymore. Modern problems require modern solutions—just not particularly good ones.

Razor Blades In Halloween Candy

HORRIFYING DISCOVERY!!! 😱 Forget razor blades—the REAL danger lurking in your Halloween candy is Microsoft Teams! Just imagine biting into what should be chocolatey bliss only to find the soul-crushing blue icon of mandatory meetings and notification hell! The audacity! The betrayal! I'd rather find actual razors than endure another "quick sync" that drags on for 45 minutes while Dave from accounting shares his screen and can't figure out why we can't see his PowerPoint. This is psychological warfare disguised as candy! CRIMINAL!

Linux Virus: The Malware That Needed Tech Support

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of this poor virus trying to infect a Linux system! 💀 The virus went through a whole EXISTENTIAL CRISIS trying to run as root, dealing with permission issues, recompiling itself, hunting for libraries, only to finally start and IMMEDIATELY crash! Talk about performance anxiety! And the AUDACITY of the user to open its source code, find its Bitcoin wallet, and send a PITY DONATION of $5! That's not just defeating malware - that's absolutely HUMILIATING it! The digital equivalent of patting a supervillain on the head and giving them bus fare home! 🤣

What Fullstack Really Means

Backend Webdev Javascript Programming Frontend

Frontend: Beautiful sunny meadow, parent playfully lifting child, everything is perfect and serene. Backend: LITERAL APOCALYPSE. Same parent, same child, but now there's explosions, destruction, and the parent has transformed into a sleep-deprived monster just trying to keep everything from collapsing. When companies advertise "fullstack developer," they really mean "we want you to make pretty buttons AND prevent our entire infrastructure from imploding simultaneously." It's like asking someone to be both a wedding photographer and a bomb disposal technician. Sure, technically possible, but one job involves making things look nice and the other involves screaming internally while cutting wires.

That moment when you run a simple UPDATE query without a WHERE clause and suddenly see "8371455 row(s) affected" flash before your eyes. Your stomach drops faster than production server uptime during a demo. The database equivalent of texting "I miss our relationship" to your entire contact list instead of just your ex. Hope you've got a backup from this century!

Math Symbols: Just Loops Wearing Fancy Hats

The moment you realize those intimidating Greek symbols from calculus are just fancy for-loops in disguise. Sigma (Σ) is literally just a sum += operation, and Pi (Π) is just prod *= in a trench coat. Years of math anxiety could've been avoided if they'd just shown us the code equivalent first. Next they'll tell us integrals are just while loops with extra steps.

Trust Issues In Programming

StackOverflow AI Programming Debugging

The eternal battle of truth vs. convenience! StackOverflow tells you you're wrong even when you're right, while ChatGPT cheerfully agrees with your most horrific code abominations. One will crush your soul with brutal honesty, the other will happily help you implement a sorting algorithm using 17 nested for-loops. Choose your poison: harsh reality or comforting lies. The best developers know to trust neither—just steal code from both and pray it works in production.

I Got This. Hold My YAML.

The confidence-to-competence ratio strikes again! Some brave soul decided to configure Azure with their "perfectly indented" YAML file, and now the whole infrastructure is burning to the ground. The horrified faces watching the disaster unfold is every senior dev who warned them about proper validation. That little "SANE" marker in the corner is the sanity we all lose after the fifth indentation error. Trust me, I've seen this movie before – it ends with someone frantically Googling "how to rollback Azure deployment at 2am" while Slack notifications explode.

Where Is The Missing Bracket

The classic catch-22 of programming: can't format the code because of a missing bracket, can't find the missing bracket because the code isn't formatted. Just another day in paradise where your IDE screams at you while you stare at 500 lines wondering if it's a curly brace, parenthesis, or square bracket that's causing your existential crisis. The compiler knows exactly where it is but chooses violence with messages like "unexpected EOF" instead of "hey dummy, line 42."

Ancient IBM Wisdom That The Bosses Just Straight Up Promptly Forgot

Ah, the ancient scrolls of IBM wisdom. Back when computers were the size of rooms and management actually understood their limitations. Fast forward to 2023: "Let's have the AI make all our business decisions!" Meanwhile, when something breaks, it's still the human's fault. Funny how we've gone from "computers shouldn't make decisions" to "the algorithm said we should fire 30% of staff, so..." I'm sure this sign is framed right next to the "THINK" posters in IBM's museum of ignored advice.
