Never Happened To Anyone Right?

When your Scrum Master forces you to dress as a mushroom from Mario for the team "energizer" activity, but inside you're questioning all your life choices that led to this moment. The juxtaposition of the cheerful Mario character costume with the existential dread of a grown professional is the perfect metaphor for Agile ceremonies that feel more like kindergarten than software development. That's the face you make when you realize your computer science degree prepared you for algorithms, not for pretending a planning poker session is "fun."

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! 🔥

The stick figure is all of us who've learned this lesson the hard way. Push to production on Friday, and suddenly your weekend becomes an unpaid extension of your work week. Nothing says "I hate my personal life" quite like deploying that "tiny fix" at 4:55 PM on Friday, then spending Saturday debugging while your friends are having fun without you. The universal developer commandment: thou shalt not tempt the deployment gods when happy hour beckons.

Ah, the classic "rm -rf /" moment of pure existential dread. That feeling when your stomach drops through the floor because you just wiped out production data with a single command. The beauty of it happening on day one? You haven't even set up your desk plant yet, but you've already established yourself as "that person." Pro tip: backups aren't just corporate paranoia, they're career insurance. And remember, there's always unemployment if the recovery fails!

Left: "It took me a few minutes to make BibleGPT with custom GPT. Now? 5 seconds with Devin." Right: "Who is doubting thomas" → "Sorry, an error occurred while fetching your answer." Bottom: "It exposed my API key so I had to revoke :(" The AI dev tool pipeline in 2024: Build something in 5 seconds, deploy it in 2 seconds, expose your API keys in 1 second. Progress! This is why we can't have nice things in tech. The faster we build, the faster we leak credentials. The modern developer experience is just speedrunning security vulnerabilities.

Ah, the classic corporate security theater where management proudly announces "industry best practices" while completely ignoring actual NIST standards. Nothing says "we care about security" like forcing users to change perfectly good passwords every 90 days, ensuring they'll write them on sticky notes under their keyboards. The irony is delicious - the very policies companies implement to "strengthen security" (complex password requirements + frequent changes + no password managers) actually make systems less secure by encouraging bad user behavior. But hey, at least management can check the "security compliance" box during the next audit, right before the inevitable data breach.
