Content when you trial and error until something works but you don't know why

Behold the NIGHTMARE that is trying to write Bash scripts! 😱 The top panel shows those fancy modern frameworks (VS Code, React, Node.js) smugly telling you to "just be confident" when approaching coding. Meanwhile, the bottom panel reveals the HORRIFYING TRUTH of what happens when you dare venture into Bash scripting territory - you transform into a deranged possum-creature questioning your entire existence! No amount of "confidence" can prepare you for the soul-crushing experience of debugging a Bash script where a single missing space or semicolon turns your beautiful code into an eldritch horror. The Vim logo lurking in the corner is just *chef's kiss* perfection - as if to say "welcome to your doom!"

You know that console.log() you threw in there to debug that one weird edge case six months ago? Yeah, it's still there. Chilling in production. Logging every single request like a chatty parrot. The brain's concern is totally valid—print statements in production are unprofessional, can leak sensitive data, and clutter your logs. But the developer's casual "I'll remove it next release" is the tech equivalent of "I'll start going to the gym next Monday." Spoiler: they won't. Then comes the plot twist: "It's javascript." And suddenly all bets are off. The brain just accepts defeat because in the Node.js ecosystem, console.log() is practically a feature at this point. Half the npm packages you're using probably have forgotten console.logs scattered throughout their codebases. Your production logs are basically a archaeological dig site of debugging statements from 2018. The real tragedy? That print statement will outlive the developer's tenure at the company.

Game developers have transcended the physical realm and no longer require sleep. While teachers toss and turn grading papers, lawyers stress in their sleep over cases, and engineers curl up in the fetal position debugging their nightmares, game devs have simply... vanished. No body, no bed, no evidence they even attempted rest. The progression is beautiful: from slightly uncomfortable, to moderately distressed, to full existential crisis mode, to straight-up nonexistent. It's like watching the evolution of work-life balance in reverse. Game dev crunch culture has literally erased the concept of horizontal rest from existence. The empty pillow isn't just a joke—it's a documentary. Between fixing that one shader bug at 4 AM, optimizing frame rates, dealing with Unity's latest "features," and responding to Steam reviews calling your masterpiece "literally unplayable" because of a typo, who has time for biological necessities?

When your code finally deploys to production after 47 failed attempts, and now you're just waiting for the inevitable bug reports to roll in. The shirt says it all - Breaking Prod with chemical elements Br (Bromine) and Pr (Praseodymium) in the style of a certain TV show about chemistry. The pure joy on this developer's face is the exact opposite of how their manager will look in approximately 17 minutes.
