Average FAANG Company Infrastructure

Spending 30 minutes writing a script to automate a 5-minute task is the developer equivalent of climbing Mount Everest "because it's there." Sure, we'll never break even on the time investment, but that's not the point. The point is that manual labor is for peasants, and we are nobility . We'd rather spend six times longer crafting an elegant solution than suffer through the indignity of clicking the same button twice. It's not procrastination—it's optimization . And we'll die on that hill, wearing our sunglasses indoors like the cool problem-solvers we pretend to be.

Oh. My. God. The absolute SAVAGERY of this meme! 😂 It's the digital equivalent of finding footprints in the snow! The Windows user leaves behind their unmistakable trail with the classic \r\n line ending signature - the carriage return AND newline combo that screams "I USE WINDOWS" louder than a Blue Screen of Death at a Linux convention. Meanwhile, Unix/Linux users smugly use just \n like civilized beings. It's basically the digital version of leaving the toilet seat up - dead giveaway of who's been there!

The evolution of command-line interfaces is a beautiful tragedy. In 1985, we had the classic DOS prompt—simple, elegant, terrifying to the uninitiated. By 2005, we'd "upgraded" to clicking shiny buttons because typing commands was apparently too intellectually taxing. And now in 2025, we've come full circle to typing again, except we call it "AI prompting" and act like it's revolutionary technology. Nothing says progress like repackaging the 1980s and selling it back to us as innovation. The command line never died; it just got better marketing.

Ah, the classic integer overflow but for... other measurements! The terminal shows someone entering "7" inches, but somehow the calculation throws a DickLengthError claiming it "cannot be negative." Either the algorithm subtracted from the wrong base value, or someone's been exaggerating by about 2³² units. The exit code -69420 is just the chef's kiss of juvenile programmer humor—combining the infamous "69" with "420" and making it negative for extra absurdity. This is basically what happens when you let engineers build dating apps.

ABSOLUTE CHAOS UNLEASHED! Some poor soul asks how to reverse a Git commit, and Linus Torvalds (you know, just the CREATOR OF LINUX) casually suggests running sudo rm -rf / which is basically the nuclear option that OBLITERATES YOUR ENTIRE FILESYSTEM! It's like asking how to undo a typo and someone suggesting you burn down your house! The victim even THANKED HIM! Someone please check if this developer's computer still exists! 💀

Unix philosophy claims "everything is a file" until you actually try to cat a directory and get slapped with that condescending "Is a directory" error. Ten years into my career and I'm still occasionally typing cat on directories like some junior dev who hasn't been properly traumatized yet. The lie detector determined: that "everything is a file" was a lie. Directories, sockets, pipes—all just teasing us with their file-like appearances while secretly being special snowflakes.
