Scrum Master's Energizer: The Mushroom Of Despair

Oh man, this is EXACTLY how sprint planning goes down! 🔥 Junior dev shows up all proud with their measly 3 story points while the senior dev is sitting there with a smirk, ready to absolutely demolish the sprint with a TWENTY-ONE POINTER task! 💪 The Scrum Master's probably having a heart attack in the corner. "That's not how story points work!" Meanwhile Product Owner is frantically updating the burndown chart. Pure chaos! Every dev knows that feeling when you're about to drop the "actually this is way more complex than everyone thinks" bomb during estimation. Power move!

Oh the IRONY! 😂 Asking engineers to write concise documentation is like asking a cat to fetch your mail! The person's face says it all - pure "are you kidding me?" energy! Engineers would rather write 10,000 lines of code than 10 lines explaining what it does. Documentation? That's just a mythical creature like the debugging unicorn that magically fixes your code! Every tech lead who's begged for updated docs feels this in their SOUL right now. Meanwhile, engineers are already mentally drafting a 47-page explanation of why they can't write a 1-page summary!

Ah, the eternal corporate solution to every problem: create another communication channel ! While two team members suggest actually doing work (system design and product design), the third genius proposes adding yet another Slack channel to the 47 existing ones nobody reads. The boss's reaction is all of us witnessing our project's inevitable death by a thousand notifications. Nothing says "efficient workflow" like spending 3 hours scrolling through #random, #general, #team-updates, #project-alpha-beta-gamma, and now #yet-another-useless-channel to find that one important message someone definitely didn't email you instead.

The eternal corporate handshake that pays everyone's bills. Manager and client congratulate each other on a "successful project" while completely ignoring the sleep-deprived developer who actually built the damn thing. Twenty years in the industry and I've watched this scene play out at every project celebration. The programmer gets a pizza party while management gets the bonus. Tale as old as Git.

THE AUDACITY! A product manager who can't even write requirements without a 50-question interrogation suddenly becomes an AI prophet?! Honey, if you can't tell me what button color you want without changing your mind 17 times, I'm supposed to believe you understand the future of artificial intelligence?! The green monster hand of skepticism is PRESSING X TO DOUBT so hard right now. Sweetie, AI might replace a lot of things, but it'll need actual requirements to do so - something you're physically incapable of providing! Come back when your "visionary roadmap" isn't written in crayon and wishful thinking!

The GitHub contribution graph: where your self-worth as a developer gets reduced to little green squares. We've got "Just a Developer" with their random sprinkles of productivity, "The Weekender" who only codes when normal people are partying, and "The Unrealistic Expectations" who apparently never sleeps, eats, or touches grass. Don't forget "Getting Ready to Search for a New Job" with that sudden burst of activity right before updating the resume. The "GitHub Wizard" trying to look consistently productive, "The Mondrian" creating actual art with their commits, and "The Cupid Shuffle" forming little hearts because... why code efficiently when you can make your contribution graph look pretty? Remember kids, quantity of commits ≠ quality of code. But try telling that to recruiters who think your GitHub activity is a personality test.
