The Ultimate Developer Power Trip

Forget money and status—the true rush of power comes from swooping in like a coding superhero and fixing someone else's broken code. Nothing says "I am superior" quite like finding that missing semicolon they spent three hours looking for. The psychological high of saying "Oh, it was just a simple logic error" while they stare at you in awe is better than any promotion. You're not just fixing code; you're establishing dominance in the most passive-aggressive way possible. It's basically the programmer equivalent of marking your territory.

Legacy Code: The Load-Bearing Documentation

STOP. EVERYTHING. The absolute DRAMA of legacy code documentation! Those sacred tomes stacked like the Tower of Babel with their passive-aggressive "THESE BOOKS ARE HERE FOR AN ESSENTIAL STRUCTURAL PURPOSE. THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE." I'm DYING! 💀 It's the perfect metaphor for that ancient codebase nobody dares touch! You know, the one written by that developer who left 7 years ago? The documentation exists PURELY as load-bearing structure holding the entire system together while everyone tiptoes around it whispering "Don't touch it... it works... somehow..." The sheer audacity of those books screaming "I'M ESSENTIAL BUT UNTOUCHABLE" is literally every legacy system that runs the world's banking infrastructure on COBOL from 1983. Touch at your peril, mortals!

Software Engineering Interviews

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of tech interviews in one perfect image! 😭 You spend WEEKS mastering how to trace an umbrella for the technical test, only to face the NIGHTMARE of carving intricate fractals during the interview. Then you get the job and what do they have you do? Draw a TRIANGLE. A LITERAL TRIANGLE. The tech industry is GASLIGHTING us, sweetie! We're out here solving theoretical binary tree inversions while the actual job is updating button colors and restarting servers. The AUDACITY! 💅

The Documentation Paradox

The Documentation Paradox

Ah, the circle of developer life. Junior devs step on rakes by not documenting code, then get smacked in the face when they forget how their own sorcery works a week later. Meanwhile, seniors are out here doing sick skateboard tricks with proper documentation, clean code, and READMEs... but still wiping out spectacularly when that one function they wrote 6 months ago might as well be ancient Sumerian. The real truth? Nobody remembers how anything works. The difference is seniors have learned to leave themselves breadcrumbs for when future-them inevitably becomes an amnesiac.
