And It Is Only Monday

The handshake between Mr. Krabs and Patrick Star perfectly symbolizes the unspoken alliance of suffering that programmers and artists share. While we're busy arguing about tabs vs. spaces or RGB vs. CMYK, some CEO is slapping their name on our 2AM caffeine-fueled creation. Nothing quite builds solidarity like watching your Git commits or Photoshop layers get repackaged as "executive vision." The real kicker? The stolen code probably runs better than when I wrote it, but that's beside the point.

OMG the DRAMA in the design world vs. the absolute CHILL of programmer nation! 💅 Designers are over here having MELTDOWNS over similar ideas like it's the end of civilization, while programmers are just casually confessing grand theft code and nobody bats an eye! The second programmer is basically saying "Bold of you to assume I wrote this myself" because let's be REAL - we're all just copying from Stack Overflow and GitHub like it's a cosmic buffet of free code. The entire software industry is basically a giant game of digital hot potato where nobody knows who baked the original potato! Why reinvent the wheel when someone's already posted a perfectly good wheel on GitHub with an MIT license? *hair flip*

Nothing quite hits like the unholy combination of insomnia, someone else's questionable code, and the unearned confidence that comes with running it through Valgrind at unholy hours. You're not even working on your own project—you're just out here at 3am being a full-time code critic for some stranger's GitHub repo, watching memory leaks light up like a Christmas tree. The pure GLEE on your face as Valgrind spits out error after error? *Chef's kiss*. Invalid reads, memory not freed, definitely lost bytes—it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion, except you're eating popcorn and taking notes. You didn't come here to contribute or open a helpful PR. You came here to JUDGE, and Valgrind is your weapon of choice. For the uninitiated: Valgrind is a debugging tool that hunts down memory leaks and other memory-related crimes in C/C++ programs. It's basically the snitch of the programming world, and boy does it love to tell on people.

The duality of modern coding life. First panel: "OMG, GitHub Copilot is free in VS Code?!" *frantically puts on glasses to see clearly* Second panel: "Wait... my code is free for GitHub Copilot?" *realization sets in* Remember when we used to worry about other devs stealing our code? Now we're feeding the AI overlords our precious algorithms so they can regurgitate them to junior devs who'll get paid more than us. The circle of tech life, folks.

Started coding a "simple hash function" and GitHub Copilot went full existential crisis mode. Started reasonable with "not cryptographically secure, but fast" then spiraled into "not guaranteed to be stable across different phases of the moon" and "different parallel universes." This is what happens when your AI assistant has seen one too many 3 AM debugging sessions. Somewhere in Silicon Valley, a neural network is clearly having PTSD flashbacks from training on StackOverflow comments.

Nothing says "I'm deeply in love" like naming your Git branch feature/sarah-you-complete-me . Developers might not write songs, but we immortalize our crushes in commit messages that only 3 other people will ever read. The real romance is when you push to production and whisper "this one's for you" as you break the entire codebase. Who needs mixtapes when you can dedicate a Stack Overflow question to your beloved? "Dear Jessica, this segmentation fault represents my heart without you."
