The Real Definition Of Happiness

Content Me waiting for my docker containers to rebuild after fixing a missing semicolon:

The eternal tragedy of our existence captured in two panels! 😭 Top: Code doesn't work and you're absolutely DYING to know why. Bottom: Code suddenly works and you're like "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING, DON'T BREATHE, DON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT!" The cosmic horror of programming is not when things break, but when they mysteriously start working without you understanding why. The universe is cruel and chaotic, and we're just frantically typing monkeys pretending we have control!

Let's be honest—your CS degree taught you data structures and algorithms, but your actual programming career is just professional Googling with extra steps. Companies pretend they want you to memorize binary tree inversions, but what they really need is someone who can find that obscure Stack Overflow answer in record time. The real 10x developers aren't the ones who know everything; they're the ones who can craft the perfect search query to fix production at 3 AM. Maybe instead of whiteboard coding, interviews should just measure your Google-fu and how quickly you can find that one line fix for that dependency hell you're in.

The holy trinity of "things that don't matter" according to people who have them in abundance. Rich folks saying money doesn't matter, attractive people claiming looks don't matter, and then the punchline – senior engineers at standups mumbling "no updates" while secretly working on the same bug for 3 days straight. Nothing says "leave me alone with my code" like the blank stare of a developer who'd rather debug in peace than explain why they're still wrestling with that one-line fix that should've taken 10 minutes. The daily standup: where developers perfect the art of saying absolutely nothing while looking productive.

The classic "Flex Tape" solution meme, but make it programming! Some manager somewhere is watching performance tank because of "mediocre developers" and "slow code due to inefficient algorithms" when suddenly—BAM!—someone slaps on "REWRITING TO RUST" like it's magical duct tape that'll fix everything. Spoiler alert: Throwing a trendy language at architectural problems is like putting racing stripes on a broken car. Sure, your memory management will be safer, but those same mediocre developers will just write mediocre Rust code instead. The compiler will scream, deadlines will extend, and somewhere a project manager's eye is twitching violently.

Content My facebook suddenly split in half and this screen popped up with all these random cyber space options and it was like watching and assessing things s00000 weird? and talking about child... and children being forced WTF????? is this some sort of cyber police thing that my IP was accedently allowed to access so i could help stop child abuse on the net or am i going crazy???? has this happened to anyone else??? - (4 feeling confused.
