Ah yes, the classic "programming languages are for humans" revelation that hits like a truck when you've been staring at assembly code for 12 hours straight. The bus driver's threat perfectly captures that senior dev energy when explaining to newbies why we need syntax highlighting, proper indentation, and comments. Meanwhile, somewhere a C++ developer is writing code that looks like someone headbutted the keyboard, muttering "it's perfectly readable" while their coworkers silently update their resumes.

Oh. My. GOD! The audacity of hackathon energy versus real-world development is sending me to another dimension! 💀 During hackathons, we're basically superhuman coding machines fueled by energy drinks and delusion. "AN ENTIRE APPLICATION IN 3 DAYS?! No problem! I'll just skip sleep, basic hygiene, and remembering my own name!" But the SECOND we're back to normal work? Adding a tiny icon suddenly requires environmental impact studies, three planning meetings, and enough documentation to fill the Library of Congress. The drama! The hypocrisy! The painful truth! It's like running a marathon in flip-flops versus spending four hours deciding which running shoes to buy online. The duality of developer existence is just *chef's kiss* tragic.

The expectation vs reality of programming career progression! First year: bright-eyed, hopeful, thinking you'll build the next billion-dollar app. Fourth year: slightly chubbier, dead inside, realizing you're just fixing the same bugs in legacy code while your IDE slowly consumes your RAM. The title "Made Alot Of Money" is the ultimate ironic cherry on top—because the only thing that's grown is your caffeine tolerance and collection of Stack Overflow bookmarks. The real money was the existential dread we accumulated along the way!

When a junior dev thinks the codebase is some kind of rocket science, but the senior devs are just celebrating that someone else has to deal with their spaghetti code now! 🍝👨‍💻 The seniors are partying like NASA after a successful mission while the junior is completely clueless that the "complex" code is actually just years of technical debt and hacks held together with digital duct tape. It's the classic dev team initiation - welcome to the chaos you poor, innocent soul!

Ah, the classic bait and switch of tech hiring. You show up to the interview in your fancy suit (Tom from Tom & Jerry), answering questions about red-black trees and time complexity while sweating through your bow tie. Then six months later, you're in the trenches (buff Jerry), sleep-deprived, debugging legacy code written by someone who clearly hated humanity, chugging coffee at 2 AM because production is down and somehow it's your fault. The algorithm questions? Haven't used that knowledge once. But hey, at least you can tell your friends you're a "software engineer" while you're actually just Stack Overflow's most loyal customer.
