With A Break Statement, Right?

The meme shows a fear hierarchy with a terrified child labeled "Serial Killers" cowering from a girl labeled "Psychopaths," who's scared of something even worse: "Those who code 1000+ lines on notepad without any internet support and it compiles with 0 errors and 0 warnings." Coding without Stack Overflow is already traumatic enough, but doing it in Notepad? Without syntax highlighting, auto-complete, or error checking? And then having it compile perfectly on the first try? That's not human—that's supernatural horror. The kind of developer who writes flawless code in Notepad either made a deal with a compiler demon or has achieved coding nirvana that mere mortals can only dream of.

After 15 years in tech, I can confirm this pie chart is scientifically accurate. The blue slice representing "restart whatever isn't working" is basically our industry's version of percussive maintenance. That "IT placebo effect" is real too—walk into a room and suddenly the printer that's been jamming for 3 days works flawlessly. Users look at you like you're a wizard, but really you just interrupted whatever cosmic force was enjoying their suffering. And let's be honest, that quick Google search is just us typing "why the hell is [software] doing [weird thing]" and hoping someone on Stack Overflow had the same existential crisis.

Ah yes, the coveted "No AI" badge—proudly displayed by developers who spent 17 hours debugging their own spaghetti code instead of asking ChatGPT to fix it in 3 seconds. It's like bragging about churning your own butter when there's a perfectly good supermarket next door. "Look at me, I suffered unnecessarily and have the dark circles under my eyes to prove it!" Meanwhile, the deadline was yesterday and the client is wondering why a simple feature costs more than their car payment.

Ever watched a senior dev casually say "Let me just refactor this real quick" before plunging into the depths of legacy code? It's like watching an Olympic diver gracefully leap off the platform only to discover the pool below is actually a portal to hell itself. What starts as a "simple 15-minute fix" transforms into an archaeological expedition through 12 years of technical debt, undocumented dependencies, and code comments like "TODO: fix this before 2014 release." The flames at the bottom? That's the production server after discovering that seemingly unused function was actually keeping the entire authentication system alive. Whoops!
