I Prefer PGA To LGA

When the IT department says they're "working VERY HARD" on your ticket, but really it's just two kittens playing inside your computer! 😂 This is what happens when you hire junior devs straight out of coding bootcamp! They're cute but have absolutely no idea what they're doing—just pawing at random components and hoping something works! The best part? Your "critical system failure" is now a "catastrophic" one! At least when they break something, you can't even be mad about it!

Someone took the term "liquid cooling" way too literally and built a steampunk plumber's nightmare inside their PC. Those copper pipes aren't just for show—they're actually routing coolant through the system like some Victorian-era engineer got drunk and decided to fix their overheating problem. The craftsmanship is undeniable, but imagine explaining to your IT department why your computer smells like a leaky radiator. This is what happens when you tell a hardware enthusiast "just use a fan" and they take it as a personal challenge.

Back in the 60s, programmers were literally PUNCHING CODE into cards by hand! 🤯 The person in the image is holding up punch cards with the caption "COMPILERS TOOK MY JOB" - it's basically the original "robots are stealing our jobs" but for coding! Before compilers existed, humans had to manually convert code into machine-readable formats. Then BAM! Compilers showed up and were like "I got this" and an entire profession vanished faster than free pizza at a hackathon! Those punch card operators never saw it coming!

When your developer friend says they're "just customizing their boot screen" but actually they've replaced the UEFI splash with an anime girl calling them "senpai." Nothing says "I'm a serious professional who writes mission-critical code" quite like having your computer address you as a "good boy" during startup. The duality of programmers: can architect complex systems by day, creates waifu boot screens by night. The real reason they never let IT support touch their machine.

The eternal dilemma of our time: spend $2,000 on the latest RTX 4090 graphics card that'll be obsolete in 18 months, or invest in 1,342 pieces of garlic bread that will bring immediate joy and carb-induced euphoria? Tough choice for any dev working on rendering engines from home. The bread won't help you run Cyberpunk at max settings, but it also won't make your electricity bill rival the GDP of a small nation. Plus, garlic bread has never required a driver update or crashed during a deadline.

The anime girl was peacefully sleeping until Steam announced their new PC 2 hardware. But then AMD dropped RDNA3 graphics architecture and suddenly she's wide awake in panic mode. It's that moment when you've finally convinced yourself you don't need to upgrade your graphics card, and then the tech companies release something new that makes your wallet scream in terror. The eternal cycle of PC gaming: buy expensive hardware, feel superior for approximately 37 minutes, then immediately become obsolete.
