The expectation vs. reality of game development in one perfect image! The bright-eyed optimist on the right is living in a fantasy world where making games is all creativity and fun. Meanwhile, the exhausted dev on the left has seen the dark side - the endless debugging of physics engines, memory leaks that appear only in production, and that one shader that refuses to compile for no logical reason. It's the classic "I'll just make a simple 2D platformer" that somehow morphs into "Why am I implementing my own quaternion math library at 4am?" pipeline. Game development: where your dreams go to get refactored into nightmares.

Naming variables is the true art form in programming. Some devs spend 20 minutes coding and 2 hours naming variables. This poor soul went with the classic progression from "i" to something with actual meaning, but with a twist: • i - The OG loop counter. Minimal effort, maximum tradition. • BAD - When you realize your code might outlive the weekend. • BOY - Now we're getting descriptive! Or... having an existential crisis? • INT - The final evolution: just name it after its type because you've completely given up on creativity. And those incrementing values? That's just how much your tech debt increases with each naming convention. Chef's kiss.

Ah, the universal programmer trauma of dealing with datetime ! The teacher asks what students are struggling with, and the unanimous response is datetime handling. This is basically a support group for developers at this point. Every programmer has had that moment where they're confidently coding until they need to calculate time differences between Tokyo and New York, and suddenly they're questioning their career choices. UTC, ISO-8601, DST changes, leap seconds... it's like trying to solve a Rubik's cube while blindfolded and riding a unicycle. The fact that even seasoned developers break into cold sweats when someone mentions timezone conversion is the industry's dirty little secret.
