The Tower Of Digital Babel

Ten people standing around watching one developer dig a hole. Classic enterprise development in its natural habitat. The lone coder does all the actual work while a small army of managers, architects, and stakeholders provide their essential service of... standing there. Adding another solutions architect would definitely fix that sprint backlog. Maybe they can architect a solution for how to hold a shovel.

Everyone's talking about "serverless" like it's magic, but nobody can explain what's actually happening under the hood. Meanwhile, your AWS bill is skyrocketing faster than crypto in 2017. The best part? Those same DevOps wizards who convinced you to go serverless are probably just as confused as you are, but they're too busy setting up Kubernetes clusters they don't need to admit it. Remember: "serverless" doesn't mean there are no servers—it just means you're paying someone else a fortune to hide them from you.

That moment when you perform major surgery on your codebase with zero confidence, hit run, and somehow everything still works. Your face: pure shock. Your boss: relieved but clueless about the cosmic miracle that just occurred. Your coworkers: silently calculating how long until your hack explodes in production. Nobody understands that your success was 10% skill, 90% divine intervention. You'll take this secret to your grave while updating your resume... just in case.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of modern development! First frame: "Vibe Coding" - that blissful state where you're just writing whatever feels right, no tests, no reviews, just pure coding ecstasy! ✨ Second frame: *puts on glasses* "VULNERABILITY AS A SERVICE" - SUDDENLY you can see the horrifying security nightmares lurking in your beautiful code! It's like getting dressed for a hot date only to realize you've been wearing a "HACK ME PLEASE" t-shirt the entire time! 💀 The glasses of reality are BRUTAL, honey! One minute you're living your best coding life, the next you're basically running an all-you-can-exploit buffet for hackers!

The ultimate Git soundtrack for those weekend coding sessions! Someone created a Spotify playlist with tracks that perfectly capture the emotional rollercoaster of version control. From the hopeful "Pull It" and "Push It" to the triumphant "Committed," the playlist quickly spirals into the all-too-familiar territory with "My Computer is Dying" and "Catastrophic Failure." And the grand finale? "F*** This S*** I'm Out" - the universal anthem played right after running git merge on the wrong branch at 11:59 PM on Friday. Only 17 minutes long because that's exactly how long it takes for Git to destroy your weekend plans.

The eternal IT support battle in five acts: Angry admin: "THIS IS NOT A DNS ISSUE!" Smug dev: "I CAN PING 8.8.8.8" (Google's DNS server, the universal "is my internet working?" test) Admin, veins popping: "THEN YOUR INTERNET WORKS!" Dev, confused: "I CAN'T PING GOOGLE.COM" Admin, having a stroke: "STOP BLAMING DNS FOR YOUR PROBLEMS" Narrator: It was, in fact, a DNS issue.
