Broadcom's Explosive Pricing Strategy

That's what happens when you push untested code on Friday at 4:59 PM with a commit message "it works on my machine." The skeleton isn't a metaphor - it's literally the remains of the last developer who thought hotfixing production was a personality trait. The business calls it "moving fast and breaking things," but the on-call engineer calls it "why I drink."

That moment when your casual "yeah, I'll do it tomorrow" joke backfires spectacularly because your PM immediately updates the Jira ticket with a hard deadline. Suddenly your theoretical timeline becomes an official commitment, and your soul leaves your body as you realize you've played yourself. The panic sets in—you haven't even looked at the requirements doc, there's that weird legacy code you've been avoiding, and now it's officially due tomorrow. Congratulations, you've turned your harmless banter into a binding contract faster than you can say "git commit --amend".

That moment when you skip QA because "it worked on my machine" and suddenly millions of people can't make calls. Classic Friday deployment energy right there. Some developer is definitely updating their resume while the CTO explains to the board why a single untested commit took down a nationwide network. Remember kids, this is why we have staging environments and don't push to production at 4:45pm on a Friday.

OH. MY. GOD. The tech workplace is literally a psychological horror film! 😱 This grid of workplace perceptions is the ULTIMATE expose on why we all need therapy! Developers see designers as drooling babies, while designers see developers as mindless monkeys! Project managers think EVERYONE is either a corporate slave or a villain from a Bond movie! And don't even get me STARTED on how QA sees everyone - pure CHAOS and NIGHTMARES! Meanwhile, sysadmins are over there being perceived as either gods or psychopaths depending on who you ask! The absolute SAVAGERY of this workplace dynamics chart is why we can never have nice things in tech. We're all just judging each other while the servers burn! 🔥

Ah, the existential crisis of being the sole IT deity in your organization. That moment when your own system tells you to contact yourself for help is peak tech absurdity. It's like getting a fortune cookie that says "Google it" when you work at Google. The panicked dog face perfectly captures that mental blue screen of death when you realize there's no higher power to escalate to—just you, staring into the void of your own technical limitations. The universe is basically saying "you're on your own, buddy" while you contemplate whether to open a support ticket addressed to your future, hopefully smarter self.

The eternal programmer's confession! Writing documentation is like going to the dentist—nobody wants to do it until the pain becomes unbearable. The only time most of us actually document our code is when we've written something so convoluted that even we can't decipher it two days later. It's basically leaving cryptic notes for our future selves who will inevitably curse our past selves. The circle of programming life!
