I Fucking Hate Python
Python dependency hell in its purest form. Started with a simple goal: backup an Android ROM. Ended up in a 4chan greentext speedrun of uninstalling Python versions, googling errors, upgrading pip, discovering you need Microsoft Build Tools (because Windows), realizing you need openssl 1.1.1 specifically (not the latest, obviously), finding it via wayback machine like some digital archaeologist, and finally getting the program to run... only for it to not work. The "you fucking moron" and "you absolute fucking retard" from the dependency errors really captures that special relationship between Python developers and their toolchain. Nothing says "beginner-friendly language" quite like needing to time-travel through the wayback machine to find deprecated SSL versions. Fun fact: This is why Docker exists. Someone looked at this exact scenario and said "there has to be a better way." There wasn't, so they containerized the suffering instead.

The Ultimate Tech Support Escape Plan
The ultimate family tech support escape plan. CS degree holder discovers that coming out as "lightbulb.jpg" is far more effective than explaining for the 500th time that "turning it off and on again" actually works. The sheer genius of trading occasional holiday dinners for never having to fix Aunt Karen's printer that "worked fine yesterday." Modern problems require modern solutions - and sometimes those solutions involve getting disowned. Worth it.

The Prodigy Has Been Born
The ultimate programmer fantasy just dropped! Some poor soul's kid skipped "goo goo ga ga" and went straight to the universal first line of code. That baby's destined for a life of debugging other people's spaghetti code and explaining to relatives why their printer isn't working. The prophecy of the chosen one who'll finally document their code properly is upon us! Next milestone: crying in binary when the build fails.

All I Did Was Ask A Question
The developer food chain in its natural habitat. Stack Overflow: "Closed as duplicate" (without linking the original). Reddit: "Go Google it lmao" (while downvoting you to oblivion). Hacker News: "This is not an appropriate forum for questions" (followed by a 5-paragraph rant about how you're using the wrong language). 4chan: "KYS nooder" (somehow the most helpful response because at least they're honest about their contempt). Finding programming help online is like asking directions in four different countries where everyone hates tourists.
