Looking For A GPU Be Like

The bear vs wolf meme perfectly captures how system requirements have evolved over time. Modern AAA games demand absurd hardware specs (RTX 5090, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD) while the original DOOM from 1993 will happily run on a potato with two wires sticking out of it. The title about "running it in GitHub Actions" is the chef's kiss - some dev figured out how to bypass buying a gaming rig by abusing CI/CD infrastructure to play games on company hardware. Classic developer resourcefulness. Your DevOps team hates this one simple trick!

The party guy with the RTX 5090 is the tech equivalent of a CrossFit enthusiast. Nobody asked, but he'll make damn sure everyone knows about his graphics card that costs more than your monthly rent. Meanwhile, his friends are experiencing the five stages of grief, with acceptance nowhere in sight. The GPU arms race has created a special breed of person who measures their self-worth in CUDA cores and ray tracing capabilities. Fun fact: The electricity bill for running an RTX 5090 could probably power a small village in the developing world. Worth it for those extra frames though, right?

Behold, Apple's solution to a problem that precisely zero developers asked for: a keyboard that's also a touchpad! Because apparently, the 47 different ways we already have to control our cursor weren't enough. This is peak Apple – taking something that works perfectly fine (keyboards) and adding a feature nobody requested that will inevitably cause you to accidentally move your cursor while typing a critical line of code during a live demo. The real "Next-Level Dev Setup" isn't turning your keyboard into a touchpad—it's having a keyboard that doesn't randomly decide your finger brushing key 7 means "please delete my entire git repository."

The birds and bees talk for electronic components! That IC chip is being swarmed by resistors with their little wire legs wiggling toward it like electronic sperm cells. The resistors are clearly on a mission to fertilize the integrated circuit and spawn the next generation of computing devices. Silicon-based reproduction at its finest. Next up on the hardware lifecycle: tiny baby Arduino boards.

The eternal paradox of being a programmer: telling people you can't fix their printer, then fixing it anyway because of course you can. It's like saying you're not a doctor while performing open-heart surgery with a Swiss Army knife. The truth is, we've all mastered the arcane ritual of turning it off and on again—a skill mysteriously absent from 90% of the human population. Printers specifically exist in a quantum state of both working and not working until observed by someone with technical knowledge, at which point they suddenly behave perfectly.

When your dev environment gets compromised, you improvise with what you've got! This engineer turned their smart fridge into a workstation after their actual devices were stolen. The keyboard and trackpad setup in front of the refrigerator's touchscreen is peak desperation architecture. It's the ultimate edge computing - literally computing at the edge of your kitchen. The cold hard truth is that developers will find a way to code on literally anything with a processor and screen. Bet their code is extra fresh today!
