Never Happened To Anyone Right?

Parents: "Study hard or you'll be a failure!" Meanwhile, software developers on Sunday: *sprawled on the ground with a beer* living their best life while making six figures. The kid's comeback is pure genius. Why stress about homework when you can stress about production deployments instead? At least the latter pays for your alcohol therapy.

This isn't just a bingo card—it's a developer's nightmare scorecard. Got all 16 squares? Congratulations, you've unlocked the achievement "Stockholm Syndrome: Corporate Edition!" My personal favorite is "QA not needed: just write code without bugs" — right up there with "just cure cancer" and "just solve world hunger." The "call to discuss calls" square perfectly captures that special circle of hell where we spend our lives in meetings about future meetings. And don't forget the classic "It's a simple task. Are you having difficulty?" translation: "I have absolutely no idea what this involves but I'm going to make it sound like you're incompetent anyway." The real winner? "Unpaid overtime" sitting quietly in the corner like it's not the foundation this entire industry is built upon.

OH. MY. GOD. This is the most accurate representation of AI chatbots trying to make sense of legacy code I've ever witnessed! 💀 That poor soap dispenser desperately trying to pump life into that sad, sunken bar of soap is LITERALLY every AI tool we've thrown at our 20-year-old codebase. "Here, ChatGPT, please fix this spaghetti monster written by three developers who all quit in 2007!" The AI is just there pumping away with absolutely ZERO results while the ancient code just sits there... menacingly... refusing to evolve. I can't even with how painfully real this is!

The bell curve of git commit sanity. On the left, the blissfully ignorant junior dev who squashes multiple feature changes into a single commit. On the right, the battle-hardened senior who does the same because life's too short. And in the middle? The poor mid-level developer meticulously separating each feature into its own commit, following best practices that nobody actually reads in the git log. The sweet irony of development—you either die a hero or live long enough to stop caring about commit granularity.

Corporate espionage at its finest. Imagine hiring developers from your competitor only to discover they've been secretly committing garbage code to your repos. The anime facepalm perfectly captures that moment when you realize the "talent acquisition" was actually a Trojan horse operation. The Japanese "計画" (keikaku) in the title translates to "plan" - a nod to the classic anime meme "all according to keikaku," because nothing says strategic sabotage like unnecessarily using Japanese terms in your evil plotting.
