How Jurassic Park Could Have Ended

That moment when your coworker submits a pull request with 10,000 lines of code and you just approve it without even looking at it. "LGTM" (Looks Good To Me) is the digital equivalent of "yeah whatever, ship it" while leaning back in your chair with zero accountability. The best part? You'll be on vacation when it inevitably breaks production next week.

That moment of existential dread when you realize your "rock-solid" backup strategy might just be a figment of your imagination. You've been diligently setting up automated backups for months, but have you ever actually tried to restore anything? The character's wide-eyed panic perfectly captures that 3 AM realization that your entire production database is one cosmic ray bit flip away from digital oblivion. Schrödinger's backup: simultaneously exists and doesn't exist until you attempt a recovery.

When they said "tip your server," I don't think this is what they meant. That poor rack server just took a nosedive onto concrete, spilling its guts like a digital piñata. Years of carefully managed RAID configurations, backups, and production data scattered across the floor in seconds. Somewhere, a sysadmin is having the worst day of their career while the CTO is frantically checking if their resume is up to date. Hope they had off-site backups, because no amount of "have you tried turning it off and on again" is fixing this massacre.

The AUDACITY of these tech recruiters! 💀 Imagine being ONE OF THE ACTUAL CREATORS of Kubernetes and still getting rejected because you don't have enough experience... IN YOUR OWN CREATION! The hiring market has gone completely off the rails! It's like telling Leonardo da Vinci, "Sorry, we need someone with more experience painting smiles." The tragic irony of needing 12 years of experience in a 10-year-old technology is the kind of math that only HR departments can compute. Meanwhile, the poor developer is escorted out like some kind of imposter when they're literally tech royalty. The tech industry's version of "Don't you know who I am?!" gone horribly wrong!

Server admin calmly stating "vSphere is still pretty great" until someone mentions "BROADCOM." Then the rage sets in. It's like mentioning printer drivers at an IT party - instant mood killer. For the uninitiated, Broadcom acquired VMware (maker of vSphere) and proceeded to change licensing models faster than developers change their minds about frameworks. Nothing says "enterprise stability" like your virtualization provider getting acquired and immediately making your budget explode.

The eternal CI/CD death spiral in its natural habitat! What we're witnessing is the beautiful disaster of a developer's 48-hour wrestling match with GitHub Actions. Starting with existential dread ("god has abandoned us"), progressing through false hope ("fixed CICD finally"), then the desperate environment variable tweaking, config file adjustments, and finally the primal scream of "pls fix workflow :))))" – which is developer code for "I'm one failed build away from a career change." The commit messages tell the whole tragic story: ten commits over two days just to get a workflow running. The real kicker? That "fixed CICD finally it was literally 2 lines smh" – the universal experience of spending 8 hours debugging only to find you forgot a semicolon.
