You know you've hit peak developer despair when your API requests start getting the cold shoulder with a 429 status code. The meme captures that exact moment when your code was flowing, your fingers were dancing across the keyboard, and suddenly—BAM—rate limited. Now you're just sitting there like Pablo Escobar, staring into the existential void, contemplating why you didn't implement exponential backoff. The three stages of rate limit grief: denial on the swing, bargaining at the table, and finally acceptance as you stand alone by the empty pool of available requests. And the worst part? You can literally feel those milliseconds ticking by until your next allowed request.
