We Should Probably Have Another Meeting

The classic corporate bait and switch. Management (excited German Shepherd) buys some shiny new dev tool after a slick demo, while the developer (unimpressed cat) sits through what was promised as a "tutorial" but is actually just 45 minutes of marketing fluff about features they'll never implement. The cat's dead-inside expression perfectly captures that moment when you realize you've wasted an hour of your life watching someone click through pre-built examples while explaining absolutely nothing of technical value.

The evolution of a developer in its natural habitat. Junior devs naively believe documentation exists somewhere in a mythical folder. Meanwhile, senior devs have transcended the need for written instructions because they've internalized every painful bug, every midnight hotfix, and every legacy codebase nightmare. After years of trauma, they've become one with the code. They don't read documentation—they remember the mistakes that led to its creation. The knowledge isn't written down because it's etched into their souls alongside their will to live.

Ah, the classic "10-minute standup" that derails your entire morning. The first panel shows the innocent yellow bus of planned meeting time, but then some manager asks about weekend plans and BAM—your precious coding time gets obliterated like that bus getting demolished by the train. What was supposed to be a quick sync turns into a 45-minute discussion about Bob's fishing trip and Sarah's new sourdough starter. Meanwhile, your deployment deadline inches closer and your coffee gets colder. The sprint isn't the only thing that's being derailed here.

The eternal programmer's dilemma captured perfectly! On the left, we have the desperate developer frantically searching for documentation like Batman on a vengeance quest: "WHERE IS IT?!" Meanwhile, on the right is Bugs Bunny with that smug "NO" when it's their turn to write documentation. This is basically every codebase ever. We all want comprehensive docs when we're trying to understand someone else's cryptic code, but when it's time to document our own "perfectly self-explanatory" masterpiece? Suddenly we're too busy for such trivial matters. The hypocrisy is *chef's kiss*.

The instant transformation from dead-inside to pure joy when a meeting gets canceled is the most authentic developer emotion ever captured. That precious hour you just got back? That's not "catch up on emails" time—that's "finally fix that cursed bug without someone asking for a status update every 15 minutes" time. The headphones stay on either way because they're not just for music—they're the universal symbol for "I'm in the zone, interrupt me and I'll rewrite your Git history."

When your entire job is testing one new feature per year at Apple! 😂 The meme shows the legendary "waiting" Pablo Escobar meme format but reimagined for Apple's QA team who supposedly have the cushiest job ever - just chilling around all year waiting for that single new feature to test. Meanwhile at other tech companies, QA engineers are drowning in sprints and backlogs! That's what I call work-life balance taken to the extreme!
