RTFM: The Forbidden Technique

Remember when you thought coding was going to be like Tony Stark—holographic interfaces, AI assistants, and solving world problems with a few elegant keystrokes? Then reality hit: you're just staring at a terminal for 8 hours trying to figure out why your code works on localhost but crashes in production. The vibe coder fantasy dies hard when you realize most of your superhero moments involve Googling the same error message for the fifth time this week.

Nodding along in code reviews while secretly thinking "I have no idea what this person is talking about." The classic 3 AM programmer vibe - bloodshot eyes, RGB keyboard glowing like a Christmas tree, and that special kind of exhaustion where you'll agree with literally anything just to end the conversation. The shirt and mug are just backup for when your brain fails and all you can muster is "You're absolutely right!" Meanwhile, the judgy cat in the window is all of us watching ourselves slowly descend into coding madness. The cigarette is just *chef's kiss* - because nothing says "I've given up on clean code" quite like contemplating your life choices at midnight.

Oh. My. God. Barbie is literally ALL OF US facing the unholy trinity of web development! She's over here coding HTML with one hand, CSS with the other, and when asked about JavaScript? The only reasonable response: SMASH FACE INTO KEYBOARD! 💀 The sheer audacity of Steven and Brian offering "help" while Barbie's already juggling the impossible. Like, excuse me?! I don't have a third hand for your callback hell nightmare, thankyouverymuch! Honestly, head-banging is the most elegant solution to JavaScript bugs I've seen in years. Pure genius. No debugging required!
