Thank You For Keeping It Short

The perfect explanation of why product managers exist! Developers are compared to wild gremlins who are "overwhelmed, easily distracted, and bite strangers" - basically feral code creatures who need protection from direct client contact. The second comment nails the harsh reality: without that PM barrier, clients would burn out developers faster than a junior dev deletes production data. It's basically developer conservation efforts in the corporate wilderness.

That special moment when you're halfway home on Friday and your phone buzzes with Slack notifications from the entire dev team. The calm expression hides the internal screaming as you realize your weekend just transformed into a 48-hour debugging marathon. The unwritten rule of software development: the severity of a production bug is directly proportional to how close you are to the weekend. And somehow, it's always the one line of code you thought was "too simple to test."

Ah, the classic "distracted boyfriend" meme but with a project management twist! The guy (labeled "LEADERSHIP") is clearly checking out "AGILE" while his current girlfriend ("WATERFALL") looks on in disbelief. It's that moment when your team swears they're committed to Waterfall methodology but can't stop eyeing those sexy Scrum boards and daily standups. Sure, you've got documentation and Gantt charts at home, but look at Agile over there with her flexible iterations and customer feedback loops! 😂 Tale as old as time: companies claiming they "follow Agile principles" while secretly still planning everything upfront and freaking out when requirements change. The software development equivalent of "it's complicated" relationship status!

When your GitHub contribution graph spells out "SEND HELP" but your manager just sees random green squares. Nothing says "I need vacation" quite like turning your desperate coding schedule into a cryptic message visible only to fellow developers. Those specific days off? Just trying to avoid completing the 'D' in 'HELP' because that's when the real breakdown happens.

Project managers choosing to draw 25 UNO cards rather than upgrade to Python 3 is the tech equivalent of saying "I'd rather eat glass." Python 2 reached end-of-life in 2020, but some companies are still clinging to it like it's the last bottle of water in a desert. The technical debt keeps piling up while managers keep muttering "but it works fine" through gritted teeth. Meanwhile, developers silently contemplate career changes.

Ah, the classic university group project where the professor says "find a team" but you're the only one who shows up to class. So you become the entire development stack, changing hairstyles between commits just to make it look like you had help. Nothing says "collaborative learning experience" like having a dissociative identity disorder induced by a looming deadline.
