Not A Good Time To Be In IT

OH THE DRAMA OF IT ALL! 💅 You think you're so clever with your "quick ticket" to IT support, don't you? "Just remote in and click a button!" HONEY, PLEASE! What you don't realize is that behind every support ticket is an IT person who has already broken the system in seventeen different ways while trying to fix the eighteen ways YOU broke it first. We're not wizards, we're just professional chaos managers with caffeine addictions and a concerning familiarity with error messages that don't even exist in documentation. The audacity of end users thinking we'll be embarrassed when things don't work... sweetie, embarrassment left the chat YEARS ago along with our will to explain why "turning it off and on again" actually works!

The Great Reddit Resource Blame Game

Remember when Reddit engineers were optimization wizards? Now they're blaming your tiny custom emojis for server meltdowns. Classic corporate evolution - from "we built a platform that can handle millions of simultaneous users" to "your 20KB GIF is why everything's on fire." Next they'll claim upvotes are causing global warming. The real resource hog? Probably their tracking scripts collecting data on which cat memes make you smile.

The Unreachable Code Jedi Mind Trick

The oldest trick in the developer handbook: wrapping problematic code in an if (true) block with a return statement instead of properly commenting it out. Top panel: Java compiler screaming "unreachable statement" because those Star Wars lightsaber sound effects will never execute after the return . Bottom panel: The developer feeling smug after "fixing" the issue by wrapping the return in an if (true) block, tricking the compiler into thinking those ridiculous sound effects might actually run someday. Nine years of software engineering experience and we're still pulling stunts like this instead of using version control like adults.

At Least It Compiles

The yellow character is panicking about compiler warnings while the green character, clearly a senior dev who's seen it all, just slaps a flower emoji on it. It's the programming equivalent of putting a decorative band-aid on a broken leg. Sure, the code compiles, but those 43 warnings are just sitting there... menacingly . This is basically what happens when the deadline trumps code quality. "Ship it now, fix it never" as the ancient developer proverb goes.

Don't Worry This Didn't Happen At My Company

That smug little face says it all. The cat (labeled "Cursor AI") sits there with that self-satisfied grin while staring at the waffle ("The code that broke production") like it's about to devour the evidence. Nothing quite matches the special feeling of watching your teammate's cursor float around the screen in real-time as they confidently add that one magical line of code that brings down the entire system. "Trust me, this will fix it!" they say, right before Slack explodes with alerts and your phone starts having a seizure with PagerDuty notifications. But of course, this "didn't happen at your company." Just like how nobody ever pushed to main on Friday at 4:55 PM.

Initialize Vibe Coding

Ah yes, the mythical "real programmer" – that elusive creature who apparently codes everything from scratch using nothing but pure brain power and cosmic vibes. Meanwhile, in reality, the rest of us mortals are over here frantically Googling syntax, copying from Stack Overflow, and begging AI to fix our broken code at 3 AM. The gatekeeping is strong with this one! Next thing you'll tell me "real programmers" only code on punchcards while standing barefoot in the snow, uphill both ways.

No errors though!
