I Suck At Communication

Ah, the infamous memcpy() function - the digital equivalent of handing scissors to a toddler. For the uninitiated, this meme references the notorious Heartbleed vulnerability that rocked the security world in 2014. When someone uses memcpy(bp, pl, payload) without proper bounds checking, they're basically saying "here's my memory, take whatever you want!" The terrified Squidward face perfectly captures that moment when you realize your opponent can read arbitrary memory chunks and steal sensitive data like private keys. Nothing says "game over" quite like discovering someone can peek at your server's memory like it's an open book.

Nothing says "totally not stressed" like aging 40 years in 29. That beard isn't white from wisdom—it's from debugging legacy code at 3 AM while production is on fire. The sunglasses aren't a fashion statement; they're hiding the thousand-yard stare from staring at Stack Overflow for 72 consecutive hours. But sure, Nerijus, tell us again how IT isn't stressful while your eye twitches uncontrollably behind those lenses.

That moment when a junior dev proudly announces they've "cleaned up" the codebase by removing "unused" functions, and suddenly the entire production environment collapses like a tree cut from its support. The code wasn't commented because the senior who wrote it was too busy putting out other fires to document why that "useless" function was actually holding up the entire architecture. Five minutes before the demo, everyone's frantically digging through Git history trying to figure out what the hell that Pink Panther function actually did.

The classic software development hierarchy of attention! While developers lovingly cradle shiny new features like a precious baby, documentation and testing are barely kept afloat, gasping for air. Meanwhile, accessibility, internationalization, and localization? Those poor souls have been dead at the bottom of the ocean since the project kickoff meeting. Product managers be like: "We'll definitely prioritize i18n in the next sprint!" *Narrator voice*: They did not, in fact, prioritize it in the next sprint.
