The ultimate developer survival strategy: strategic procrastination. Why fight the never-ending stream of tasks when you can simply outlast your Project Manager? The turtle isn't slow—it's tactical . While that anxious little snail is freaking out over deadlines, our shell-backed hero is playing the long game. Project managers come and go, but technical debt is forever. The best part? When the new PM arrives, they'll have no idea which tasks were actually impossible versus which ones you just didn't feel like doing. Checkmate, management.

The desperate coffee-fueled chaos before a standup meeting is too real. First, our Scrum Master frantically unpacks his briefcase of "agile tools" (read: random stuff he found on Medium articles). Then he's manically preparing coffee for the team because caffeine is the only way anyone's surviving another round of "what I did yesterday." By panel three, he's desperately shuffling through status reports like he's searching for the meaning of life in a pile of sticky notes. The paper hat is his final transformation into Captain Burndown Chart, ready to defend velocity metrics with his life. And finally... complete defeat. Collapsed face-down at the meeting table surrounded by coffee cups, realizing no amount of preparation can save him from the inevitable "we're blocked by DevOps" and "my Jira ticket is still in code review" that's coming in exactly 3 minutes.
